Record Title : Tropopause Instantaneous Shortwave Forcing
CF Standard Name : tropopause_instantaneous_shortwave_forcing
Record Description : The term "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. 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.
