Radiative forcing
Radiative Forcing | MIT Climate Portal
Radiative forcing is what happens when the amount of energy that enters the Earth's atmosphere is different from the amount of energy that leaves it.
a concept used to quantify a change to the balance of energy flowing through a planetary atmosphere.

Radiative forcing
Radiative forcing is a concept used to quantify a change to the balance of energy flowing through a planetary atmosphere. Various factors contribute to this change in energy balance, such as concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and changes in surface albedo and solar irradiance.
