中文摘要：

在在全球气候模型的云重叠和它的放射的转移的处理上的研究的最近的进展被总结。关于这个国际性地挑战性的问题的开发从象云重叠假设，在气候模型以内的云重叠假设的实现，和数据的设计那样的方面被描述，方法过去常在重叠的云获得云重叠结构和放射的转移的一致观察。迄今为止，有在在气候模型的云重叠上的研究的成就的可估计的水平，由科学假设的发展示威了(例如， 电子folding 重叠)描述云重叠，发明和为重叠的云(蒙特卡罗独立专栏近似)的快放射的转移方法的宽广申请，和连续 3D 的出现遮蔽卫星观察(例如， CloudSat/CALIPSO )并且解决云为 valu 建模，它提供众多的数据然而，介绍云重叠和它的放射的转移过程的处理是远非完全的，并且在那里仍然是需要以后被探索的许多未解决的问题。

英文摘要：

The latest advances in studies on the treatment of cloud overlap and its radiative transfer in global climate models are summarized.Developments with respect to this internationally challenging problem are described from aspects such as the design of cloud overlap assumptions,the realization of cloud overlap assumptions within climate models,and the data and methods used to obtain consistent observations of cloud overlap structure and radiative transfer in overlapping clouds.To date,there has been an appreciable level of achievement in studies on cloud overlap in climate models,demonstrated by the development of scientific assumptions（e.g.,e-folding overlap） to describe cloud overlap,the invention and broad application of the fast radiative transfer method for overlapped clouds（Monte Carlo Independent Column Approximation）,and the emergence of continuous 3D cloud satellite observation（e.g.,CloudSat/CALIPSO） and cloud-resolving models,which provide numerous data valuable for the exact description of cloud overlap structure in climate models.However,present treatments of cloud overlap and its radiative transfer process are far from complete,and there remain many unsettled problems that need to be explored in the future.
