What is the effect of cloud cover on incoming and outgoing radiations? A) Clouds reflect the outgoing long wavelength radiations but are transparent to the short wavelength in coming radiation leading to warming. B) Clouds reflect the radiation both ways and its effect are unpredictable C) Clouds reflect the incoming short wavelength radiations but are transparent to the long wavelength outgoing radiation leading to cooling
