1.8 CF Standard Names: Tropopause Adjusted Shortwave Forcing (tropopause_adjusted_shortwave_forcing)

Record Label : tropopause_adjusted_shortwave_forcing

Record Title : Tropopause Adjusted Shortwave Forcing

CF Standard Name : tropopause_adjusted_shortwave_forcing

Record Description : The term "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. Adjusted forcing is the radiative flux change caused by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.) after allowance for stratospheric temperature adjustment. A positive radiative forcing or radiative effect is equivalent to a downward radiative flux and contributes to a warming of the earth system.
