To fully simulate a climate the models must take into account the complex feedback mechanisms that influence it. Snow, for example, has a destabilizing, positive-feedback effect on temperature: when a cold snap brings a snowfall, the temperature tends to drop further because snow, being highly reflective, absorbs less solar energy than bare ground. 1, record 2, English, - feedback

Les modèles de ce type permettent de bien décrire les phénomènes de rétroaction du climat sur la température. Il en existe de nombreux types selon la façon dont sont prises en compte les variables climatiques. Ils ont permis de montrer que la teneur en vapeur d'eau, l'altitude des nuages et l'albédo sont des facteurs indépendants qui amplifient l'accroissement de température (feedback positif). 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9troaction

[La retroacción] se produce cuando una variable de un sistema desencadena cambios en otra variable que, a su vez, afectará en última instancia a la variable original; un efecto de retroacción positivo intensifica los efectos, y uno negativo los reduce. 1, record 2, Spanish, - retroacci%C3%B3n
