ENERGY BALANCE IN THE CLIMATE SYSTEM WHAT ARE THE VERTICAL FLOWS OF ENERGY THAT DETERMINE GLOBAL TEMPERATURES? THE FUNDAMENTAL UNITS WE WILL USE TO MEASURE FLOWS ARE WATTS/(METER)2 ENERGY BALANCE IN THE CLIMATE SYSTEM ESSENCE OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT Image courtesy of IPCC. HUMAN & OTHER INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE HOW IS THE COMPOSITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGING? HOW HAVE THE ENERGY FLOWS CHANGED SINCE PRE-INDUSTRIAL TIMES? RADIATIVE FORCING (watt/m2) IS THE CHANGE IN THE VERTICAL ENERGY FLOW (at the tropopause) INDUCED BY CHANGES IN GREENHOUSE GASES, AEROSOLS, & OTHER CLIMATE FORCING PROCESSES COMPOSITION CHANGES: PREINDUSTRIAL TO PRESENT RADIATIVE FORCING CONCENTRATIONS EMISSIONS Image courtesy of IPCC. WHAT ARE THE MAJOR HUMAN & NATURAL ACTIVITIES FORCING CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE INDUSTRIAL ERA (1850-2000)? Image removed due to copyright considerations.
