Climate model evaluation

the model bias in which tropical low clouds are too sparse yet too reflective, so their radiative effect matches observations for the wrong reasons.

In climate model evaluation, too few, too bright problem refers to the model bias in which tropical low clouds are too sparse yet too reflective, so their radiative effect matches observations for the wrong reasons. This meaning comes from Nam (2012) in Geophysical Research Letters.[1]
