A strong constraint on radiative forcing of well-mixed greenhouse gases

|
By Jing Feng, David Paynter, Raymond William Menzel, Ryan Kramer
| Nature Verified
Abstract Radiative forcing from well-mixed greenhouse gases (WMGHGs) is a main driver of Earth’s energy imbalance and global surface climate change1,2. It remains difficult to constrain, largely because its longwave (LW) instantaneous radiative forcing (IRF) component depends on atmospheric state and is subject to radiative parameterization error3,4,5,6,7. The IRF measures the immediate change in radiative fluxes at the tropopause8,9,10 caused by perturbations in WMGHG concentrations.

Toward Transparency and Consistency: An Open‐Source Optics Parameterization for Clouds and Precipitation

|
By Jing Feng, Raymond William Menzel, David Paynter
| Wiley Online Library Verified
1 Introduction Clouds are known to be an important radiative driver of Earth's climate system and lead to compensating effects on radiation fluxes. They attenuate the upwelling longwave (LW) fluxes at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and the downwelling shortwave (SW) fluxes at the surface, while concurrently enhancing the downwelling LW fluxes at the surface and the upwelling SW fluxes at the TOA.

Keywords: Cloud radiative effects; Feedback; Forcing; Satellite observations; Climate models; Clouds 1. Introduction The top-of-atmosphere cloud radiative effect (CRE) is defined as the difference between outgoing clear-sky radiative flux and all-sky radiative flux (Ramanathan et al. 1989). CRE observations by the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite (Loeb et al.
