Abstract
Diagnostics of schemes of overlapping between clouds of different laye rs and types in general circulation models in comparison with data fro m satellite and ground-based observations is carried out. Peculiaritie s of the cloudiness overlapping coefficients in different latitudinal belts over land and over ocean for different seasons are noted. Estima tes for the uncertainty range of the total cloud amount variations in general circulation models are carried out using different schemes of the cloudiness overlapping.
