AGU Advances, 2023 Studies of the impacts of solar geoengineering have mostly ignored tropospheric chemistry. By decreasing the sunlight reaching Earth's surface, geoengineering may help mitigate anthropogenic climate change, but changing sunlight also alters the rates of ...

Why radiative forcing might fail as a predictor of climate change [PDF]
, 2005 Radiative forcing has been widely used as a metric of climate change, i.e. as a measure by which various contributors to a net surface temperature change can be quantitatively compared.

Quantifying climate feedbacks in polar regions
Nature Communications, 2018 Estimating the magnitude of radiative and non-radiative feedbacks is key for understanding the climate dynamics of polar regions. Here the authors propose an inclusive methodology to quantify the influence of all those feedbacks, stimulating more ...

Dynamic vegetation highlights first-order climate feedbacks and their dependence on the climate mean state [PDF]
Earth System DynamicsWe investigate how first-order albedo and water vapor radiative feedbacks are triggered by climate-vegetation interactions using mid-Holocene and pre-industrial climate simulations.

Revisiting the Impact of Sea Salt on Climate Sensitivity
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Recent laboratory and field studies point to an increase of sea salt aerosol (SSA) emissions with temperature, suggesting that SSA may lower climate sensitivity.

Explaining Forcing Efficacy With Pattern Effect and State Dependence
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The magnitude of global surface temperature change in response to unit radiative forcing depends on the type and magnitude of forcing agent—a concept known as a “forcing efficacy.” However, the mechanisms behind the forcing efficacy are still unclear. In

Spontaneous Cyclogenesis without Radiative and Surface-Flux Feedbacks [PDF]
, 2022 Tropical cyclones (TCs) are among the most intense and feared storms in the world. What physical processes lead to cyclogenesis remains the most mysterious aspect of TC physics.

Global warming due to loss of large ice masses and Arctic summer sea ice
Nature Communications, 2020 The disintegration of cryosphere elements such as the Arctic summer sea ice, mountain glaciers, Greenland and West Antarctica is associated with temperature and radiative feedbacks.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Global greenhouse gas forcing and feedbacks are the primary causes of climate change but have limited direct observations. Here we show that continuous, stable, global, hyperspectral infrared satellite measurements (2003–2021) display decreases in ...

Understanding the daily cycle of evapotranspiration: a method to quantify the influence of forcings and feedbacks [PDF]
, 2010 A method to analyze the daily cycle of evapotranspiration over land is presented. It quantifies the influence of external forcings, such as radiation and advection, and of internal feedbacks induced by boundary layer, surface layer, and land surface ...
