Global and Arctic effective radiative forcing of anthropogenic gases and aerosols in MRI-ESM2.0
Abstract The effective radiative forcing (ERF) of anthropogenic gases and aerosols under present-day conditions relative to preindustrial conditions is estimated using the Meteorological Research Institute Earth System Model version 2.0 (MRI-ESM2.0) as part of the Radiative Forcing Model Intercompar...
