- Abstract:
- Long term funding support is requested to enable further evaluations of the radiative forcing due to potential climate change mechanisms with the goal of reducing current uncertainties. The work would extend previous work at Reading on anthropogenic radiative forcing mechanisms and would (a) update earlier work as improved spectroscopic data and updated information on changes in constituents become available and (b) examine possible new contributors to radiative forcing, such as previously neglected molecules and (c) further develop line-by-line radiative transfer codes to enable them to be routinely used in such work. The work would build on previous collaborations with groups providing new spectroscopic data and updated trends in constituents from either observations or chemical transport models.
