Article Synopsis
- The study examines how sensitive cloud feedbacks are to the removal of convective parametrizations in climate models, finding mixed results in their overall impact on cloud feedback ranges.
- Despite turning off convection, the models still show a similar range of cloud feedbacks, suggesting that other processes also influence this variability.
- The findings highlight that certain cloud feedback characteristics, like the positive feedback from shallow clouds, remain consistent even without parametrized convection, although differences in longwave feedback are reduced in regions with strong precipitation.

Background: Since the 1980s, populations of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus have become established in south-eastern, eastern and central United States, extending to approximately 40°N. Ae. albopictus is a vector of a wide range of human pathogens including dengue and chikungunya viruses, which are currently emerging in the Caribbean and Central America and posing a threat to North America.
