This is in the discussion on the radiative forcing implications: *The Twomey effect estimates are much better constrained for the calculations using Re, but those using Acld show consistent results. The IMO 2020 regulations led to an ~2 W m-2 IRFACI within the shipping corridor during austral

Dear Colleagues, This post from Jim Hansen was shared on the NOAC list with a comment (thank you Clive!) and as I think it is of great importance, I’m forwarding it along to rest of our broader community. One key take away: > However, it’s not the new equilibrium at +200 feet that’s of

Hi All What a useful paper! I am a bit surprised that the instantaneous change is only 1 watt per square metre. The 20 bar grey scale at the bottom of the image below shows that we need at least three bars, 15% change, to detect the direction of a contrast gradient. Ship track images often
