Unraveling the Link: Exploring the Interplay Between Radiative Imbalance and Radiative Forcing in Earth’s Climate
Climate & Climate ZonesUnderstanding the intricate relationship between radiative balance and radiative forcing is critical in the field of Earth science and radiative transfer. The Earth’s energy balance is maintained by the delicate interplay between incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation. When this balance is disturbed, a radiative imbalance occurs, with far-reaching consequences for the Earth’s climate
