Radiative Forcing
Document Content and Description Below
Radiative Forcing Radiative forcing is a quantifiable change in thermal units, measured in watts or square meters, typically caused by specific factors on the earth’s surface. Throug ... h the approach, scientists can conduct an informed evaluation of the components making up the planet’s heat balance. The variables include changes in albedo, ocean circulation and absorption, solar output, and aerosols. In the analysis process, positive values depict a warming effect, while negative results define a cooling effect. The analytical approach supports the conclusions of many scientific studies that acknowledge the relative benefits of all variables that enhance climate change. Likewise, radiative forcing can also be regarded as the radiative reactions to forcing agents like carbon dioxide, relatively quicker that temperature change. Instantaneous Radiative Forcing causes immediate changes in energy flux, typically caused by components outside the climate realm. Examples of causal factors include human-made carbon dioxide.
