1 Forcing the Climate

2 Climate Forcing Radiative Forcing Non-Radiative Forcing Change in the Earth’s energy balance.

3 Radiative forcing 1.Greenhouse gas radiative forcing 2.Cloud radiative forcing 3.Aerosol radiative forcing 4.Solar radiative forcing 5.Other radiative forcing a. Albedo b. Heat

4 Non-radiative forcing 1.Ocean circulation 2.Atmospheric circulation 3.Orographic lift

6 Climate sensitivity It is a simple measure of the response of the climate system to a given climate forcing.

7 Linear versus Non lenear
