Results of experiments IHCLD (Inhomogeneous Clouds) and HCLD (Homogeneous Clouds) show that horizontally inhomogeneous clouds lead to both larger net shortwave flux at surface (FSNS) and larger net longwave flux at top of the atmosphere (FLNT). The largest (about 1 W/m2 ) and second largest (about 0.6 W/m2) increases in FSNS occur at higher latitude where low clouds dominant and in the tropics where convection movement is quite active, respectively. However, the largest increases in FLNT (about 0.3 W/m2) occur in the tropics due to tremendous high clouds. Experiments GenO (General Overlap) and MRO (Maximum-Random Overlap) suggest a stronger signal of impact on the shortwave and longwave radiation budget. Regionally, the most significant differences of FSNS reach up to 30-40 W/m2 in ITCZ regions, as well as a zonal mean difference of about 5 W/m2 at higher latitudes with large amount of low clouds. There are similar spatial distributions for the differences of FLNT, but with smaller value. Overlap-assumption shift can also trigger opposite changes to radiative heating rate in upper and lower atmospheric layers, thus influents the thermodynamic structure of the atmosphere.
