  19. Fig. 4.3.3.9: Annual average of the effect of clouds on the net radiation budget (in Wm-2) during the period 1991 – 1995, computed as the difference between the mean values in Fig. 4.3.3.2a andthe net radiation at clear skies. Over most areas clouds tend to reduce the net gain of radiative energy by the climate system (negative values), while over some small areas with high and persistent convection they tend to enhance it. Over both Polar Regions this effect is relatively more inaccurate due to large uncertainties in cloud identifications. Highest and lowest values: +13 and -80 Wm-2; global average : -24 Wm-2.
