摘要：
A four-year global record of solar flux observed from both space and the Earth's surface allows an examination of the effect of clouds on the atmospheric absorption of solar radiation. The results indicate that, contrary to some recent suggestions, the effect of clouds is highly variable and present general circulation models should be able to incorporate cloud absorption Into climate simulations.
