The program will study radiative forcing and feedbacks, particularly the role of clouds. The general program goal is to improve the performance of climate models, particularly general circulation models of the atmosphere.

of the climate, the difference between simulations when the magnitude of a given parameter is changed. 3. In the context of global climate change, the equilibrium change in global mean surface temperature following a unit change in radiative forcing.
