Clouds have had a strong influence on glaciation throughout Earth’s history

Caption

Clouds have had a strong influence on glaciation throughout Earth’s history. The simulation shows a snapshot of cloud cover in the lowest layer of the atmosphere (up to approx. three kilometers above the Earth’s surface) in an assumed waterbelt climate state. The color scale ranges from no cloud cover (dark blue) to completely overcast (white) (graphic: IMK-TRO).
