Anthropogenic climate forcings

Human-caused, or anthropogenic climate drivers include emissions of heat-trapping gases (also known as greenhouse gases) and changes in land use that make land ...

What are Climate Forcings?

Climate forcing is a general name for the human or natural factors that impact atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and temperature.

Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing - IPCC

Climate forcing - Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service

Climate forcing, also known as Radiative Forcing, therefore determines the change in globally-averaged temperature change due to the natural or human-induced ...

Interpreting Climate Conditions: What is Attribution: NOAA Physical ...

Examples of anthropogenic forcing are from changing concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and land cover use produced by human activities. A second ...

Climate forcings in the Industrial era - PNAS

Anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs), which are well measured, cause a strong positive (warming) forcing. But other, poorly measured, anthropogenic forcings, ...

Assessment of pre-industrial to present-day anthropogenic climate ...

Quantifying forcings from anthropogenic perturbations to the Earth system (ES) is important for understanding changes in climate since the pre- ...

Anthropogenic forcing and response yield observed positive trend in ...

The greenhouse gas forcing contribution to the ΔERF component of the RSW trend manifests as rapid cloud adjustments. Increasing greenhouse gases ...

10 Climate Forcings and Climate Models

Volcanic eruptions, changes in the Sun's radiative output, and the mostly anthropogenic changes in greenhouse gases, tropospheric aerosols, and land use are the ...

The contribution of global aviation to anthropogenic climate forcing ...

Emissions of NOx from aviation lead to photochemical changes that increase global ozone (O3) formation while decreasing the lifetime and ...

3. Human Caused Forcings | Climate Change Science

Is human activity the cause of increased concentrations of greenhouse gases and other emissions that contribute to climate change?

Anthropogenic influence on extremes and risk hotspots - Nature

We define anthropogenic forcing as the sum of WMGHG and the direct and indirect effects of tropospheric aerosols. Statistical methods for ...

Chapter 8 - Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing

It is unequivocal that anthropogenic increases in the well-mixed greenhouse gases (WMGHGs) have substantially enhanced the greenhouse effect, and the resulting ...

Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols - Science

Abstract. Although long considered to be of marginal importance to global climate change, tropospheric aerosol contributes substantially to radiative forcing, ...
