Session Description:
The radiative forcing of the Earth’s climate system, whether anthropogenic such as from greenhouse gases, aerosols, and land-use changes, or naturally-occurring, such as from changes in solar irradiance or volcanism, is central to the discussion of climate change. Accurate quantification of radiative forcing is essential for reducing the uncertainty in climate projection. To that end, we need to increase the knowledge of the spatial and temporal distributions of forcing agents, as well as to improve the understanding on how they modify the radiation budget and atmospheric temperature structure. We invite submissions that show recent advances on (1) observational determination of radiative forcing with in situ, aircraft, or remote sensing measurements; (2) calculation and/or diagnosis of radiative forcing either in general circulation models or using atmospheric data at both global and regional scales ; and (3) the theoretical development that improve our understanding on how radiative forcing drives climate variations.
