Comparison of radiative feedback variability over multiple time scales in climate model and reanalysis data

Creator:

Dalton, Meghan M.

Abstract:

In a steady state, the Earth's absorbed solar radiation (ASR) balances the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). In response to a radiative forcing, that is, an external perturbation to the top of the atmosphere energy balance, the Earth's climate system adjusts until reaching a...
