Observations of diurnal and spatial variability of radiative forcing by equatorial deep convective clouds [PDF]

, 2004
From geostationary satellite observations of equatorial Africa and the equatorial east Atlantic during May and June 2000 we explore the radiative forcing by deep convective cloud systems in these regions. Deep convective clouds (DCCs) are associated with

The Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project (RFMIP): experimental protocol for CMIP6 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2016
The phrasing of the first of three questions motivating CMIP6 – “How does the Earth system respond to forcing?” – suggests that forcing is always well-known, yet the radiative forcing to which this question refers has historically been uncertain in ...

Radiative forcing of climate change from the Copernicus reanalysis of atmospheric composition [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2020
Radiative forcing provides an important basis for understanding and predicting global climate changes, but its quantification has historically been done independently for different forcing agents, has involved observations to varying degrees, and studies

Radiative forcing in the 21st century due to ozone changes in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere [PDF]

, 2003
Radiative forcing due to changes in ozone is expected for the 21st century. An assessment on changes in the tropospheric oxidative state through a model intercomparison ("OxComp'') was conducted for the IPCC Third Assessment Report (IPCC-TAR).

Global distribution of contrail radiative forcing [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 1999
The global distribution of radiative forcing by persistent linear contrails has been estimated for 1992 and 2050 using global contrail cover computed for aircraft fuel consumption scenarios for the two periods, a detailed prescription of the radiative properties of the Earth's surface and the cloudy atmosphere, and flux computations with an established

Radiative correction to the Casimir force on a sphere [PDF]

Physical Review D, 1998
The first radiative correction to the Casimir energy of a perfectly conducting spherical shell is calculated. The calculation is performed in the framework of covariant perturbation theory with the boundary conditions implemented as constraints. The formalism is briefly reviewed and its use is explained by deriving the known results for two parallel ...

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

Effect of Vertical Profile of Aerosols on the Local Shortwave Radiative Forcing Estimation

Atmosphere, 2021
In this work, the effect of the aerosol vertical distribution on the local shortwave aerosol radiative forcing is studied. We computed the radiative forcing at the top and bottom of the atmosphere between 0.2 and 4 microns using the libRadTran package ...

Radiative forcing since preindustrial times due to ozone change in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere [PDF]

, 2006
Changes in atmospheric ozone have occurred since the preindustrial era as a result of increasing anthropogenic emissions. Within ACCENT, a European Network of Excellence, ozone changes between 1850 and 2000 are assessed for the troposphere and the lower ...
