1.8 CF Standard Names: Tropopause Instantaneous Radiative Forcing (tropopause_instantaneous_radiative_forcing)

Record Label : tropopause_instantaneous_radiative_forcing

Record Title : Tropopause Instantaneous Radiative Forcing

CF Standard Name : tropopause_instantaneous_radiative_forcing

Record Description : Instantaneous forcing is the radiative flux change caused instantaneously by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.). A positive radiative forcing or radiative effect is equivalent to a downward radiative flux and contributes to a warming of the earth system.
