| A key idea
in climate change research is the concept of |
||||||
| RADIATIVE FORCING |
||||||
| This
allows us to quantify the importance of the |
||||||
| various
factors that have potential to change climate. |
||||||
| It is
defined as the radiation change in W/m2 at the |
||||||
| tropopause
due to the forcing agent (e.g. increase in |
||||||
| greenhouse gases) |
