the sensitivity of top-of-atmosphere radiation to a unit change in cloud fraction in each cloud-top pressure and optical depth bin, used to compute and partition cloud feedbacks.

In climate science, cloud radiative kernel refers to the sensitivity of top-of-atmosphere radiation to a unit change in cloud fraction in each cloud-top pressure and optical depth bin, used to compute and partition cloud feedbacks. This meaning comes from Zelinka (2012) in Journal of Climate.[1]
