Overview: Provides a comprehensive view of the role of clouds and water vapor in helping control the past, present, and future large-scale circulations, with impacts on climate sensitivity.Includes thorough assThis volume presents a series of overview articles arising from a workshop exploring the links among shallow clouds, water vapor, circulation, and climate sensitivity. It provides a state-of-the art synthesis of understanding about the coupling of clouds and water vapor to the large-scale circulation. The emphasis is on two phenomena, namely the self-aggregation of deep convection and in
