Which cloud type forms beneath a subsidence inversion over the ocean?
Answer: B
The cool moist marine boundary layer capped by a subsidence inversion produces the extensive stratocumulus decks of the eastern subtropical oceans, which are among the most important cloud features in the global radiation budget. Their brightness and extent make small changes in their coverage a large climate feedback. Deep convection is precisely what the inversion prevents. Working one numerical case through both cases side by side fixes the distinction better than any rule of thumb.
