Methane's Solar Radiative Forcing [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Methane (CH4) has significant absorption bands at wavelengths of 1.7, 2.3, 3.3 and 7.6 μm which absorb incoming solar ‘shortwave’ (SW) radiation and contribute to radiative forcing (RF).

Emerging Effective Radiative Forcing in the Radiative Imbalance Since 2010
Geophysical Research LettersSatellite observations indicate a substantial increase in Earth's top‐of‐atmosphere (the top of the atmosphere (TOA)) radiative imbalance since 2010. We estimate trends in effective radiative forcing (ERF) by separating TOA flux changes into forcing and ...

Atmospheric ionization and cloud radiative forcing. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 AbstractAtmospheric ionization produced by cosmic rays has been suspected to influence aerosols and clouds, but its actual importance has been questioned. If changes in atmospheric ionization have a substantial impact on clouds, one would expect to observe significant responses in Earth’s energy budget.

Radiative forcing calculations for CH3C1 [PDF]
, 1995 Methyl chloride (MC) is the major natural source of chlorine in the stratosphere. The production of MC is dominated by biological sources from the oceans but it also has smaller anthropogenic sources, such as biomass burning.

Radiative Forcing of Quadrupling CO2
Journal of Climate, 2016 An analysis method proposed by Huang is improved and used to dissect the radiative forcing in the instantaneous quadrupling CO₂ experiment from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).

Formation and radiative forcing of contrail cirrus. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 AbstractAircraft-produced contrail cirrus clouds contribute to anthropogenic climate change. Observational data sets and modelling approaches have become available that clarify formation pathways close to the source aircraft and lead to estimates of the global distribution of their microphysical and optical properties. While contrail cirrus enhance the

Radiative Screening of Fifth Forces [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2016 We describe a symmetron model in which the screening of fifth forces arises at the one-loop level through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We show that such a theory can avoid current constraints on the existence of fifth forces but still has the potential to give rise to observable deviations from general relativity ...

Radiative Forcing of Climate: The Historical Evolution of the Radiative Forcing Concept, the Forcing Agents and their Quantification, and Applications [PDF]
Meteorological Monographs, 2019 AbstractWe describe the historical evolution of the conceptualization, formulation, quantification, application, and utilization of “radiative forcing” (RF) of Earth’s climate. Basic theories of shortwave and longwave radiation were developed through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and established the analytical framework for defining and ...
