| Zusammenfassung |
| Estimating anthropogenic aerosol effects on the planetary energy balance
through the aerosol influence on clouds using the difference in cloud
radiative forcing from simulations with and without anthropogenic emissions
produces estimates that are positively biased. A more representative method
is suggested using the difference in cloud radiative forcing calculated as a
diagnostic with aerosol scattering and absorption neglected. The method also
yields an aerosol radiative forcing decomposition that includes a term
quantifying the impact of changes in surface albedo. The method requires
only two additional diagnostic calculations: the whole-sky and clear-sky
top-of-atmosphere radiative flux with aerosol scattering and absorption
neglected. |
