abstract = {The effect of variations in cloud cover, optical properties, and
fractional distribution with altitude on the mean surface
temperature of a model of the early earth has been investigated.
In all cases examined, cloud-climate feedbacks result in
temperatures greater than those in models with no cloud
feedbacks. If the model of hydrospheric feedback effects is
correct, then cloud feedbacks are as important to the climate as
changes in solar luminosity and atmospheric composition during
the earth's atmospheric evolution. In particular, the early
earth need not become completely ice-covered if strong negative
cloud feedbacks occur. However, until a proper understanding of
cloud feedbacks is available, conclusions regarding conditions
in the early atmosphere must remain in doubt.},

abstract = {A simple method of deducing the probable microphysics of a cloud is developed that uses only information about cloud particle mean size, composition, number density, and atmospheric structure. This analysis is applied to the sulfuric acid clouds of Venus, the water ice and dust clouds of Mars, and the ammonia-water and ammonia ice clouds of Jupiter. The Venus cloud layer most closely resembles smog and haze layers on Earth with no sharp concentration gradients. The cloud microphysics is dominated by coagulation, sedimentation, and turbulent mixing. No precipitation is formed. The water ice clouds on Mars resemble tenuous, nonprecipitating cirrus clouds on Earth. Deposition of condensed water on Mars only occurs from surface fogs or direct condensation on the surface. These fogs can provide a very efficient dust deposition mechanism. The observed settling behavior of the great dust storm of 1971 suggests sedimentation at the surface from a turbulent cloud with coagulation growth of large particles to replace those lost by sedimentation, analogous to the nighttime evolution of submicron tropospheric aerosols on Earth. The ammonia-water and ammonia ice clouds on Jupiter produce precipitation on time scales \<104 sec. The vertical structure of all clouds is significantly altered. The activity of the lower ammonia-water cloud has significant effects on the vertical distribution of other gases and aerosols, on the vertical transport of heat, and on the dynamics in this portion of the atmosphere.},

abstract = {The dielectric properties of H2O and H2SO4 at microwave frequencies have been calculated from the Debye equations. The derived frequency and temperature dependence agrees wed with existing data. The dielectric properties of H2O/H2SO4 mixtures are deduced and, for a well-mixed atmosphere, the structure of H2O and H2O/H2SO4 clouds is calculated. With the COSPAR model atmosphere and the calculated cloud models, the microwave properties of the atmosphere and clouds are determined. The 3.8 cm radar reflectivity of the planet, the Mariner 5 S-band occultation profile, and the passive microwave emission spectrum of the planet together set an upper limit on the mixing ratio by number of H2O of ∼102 in the lower Venus atmosphere, and of H2SO4 of ∼10−5. The polarization value of the real part of the refractive index of the clouds, the spectroscope limits on the abundance of water vapor above the clouds, and the microwave data together set corresponding upper limits on H2O of ∼2 × 10−4 and on H2SO4 of ∼9 × 10−6. Upper limits on the surface density of total cloud constituents and of cloud liquid water are, respectively, ∼0.1 g cm−2 and ∼0.01 g cm−2. The infrared opacities of 90 bars of CO2, together with the derived upper limits to the amounts of water vapor and liquid H2O/H2SO4, may be sufficient to explain the high surface temperatures through the greenhouse effect.},
