Radiative forcing due to anthropogenic activities (scientific note)
A wide range of anthropogenic as well as natural forcing mechanisms may lead to climate change. We present calculations of the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic emissions leading to changes in the concentrations of several trace gases and aerosols.

| Summary: | A wide range of anthropogenic as well as natural forcing mechanisms may lead to climate change. We present calculations of the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic emissions leading to changes in the concentrations of several trace gases and aerosols. Increase in all major well mixed greenhouse gases are included as well as changes in tropospheric and stratospheric ozone. The radiative forcing due to certain aerosols is also estimated. The calculations have been performed for the Northern Hemisphere, and the main focus in this scientific note is on high latitudes. |
