Greenhouse gas radiative forcings
| Gas | Radiative forcing |
|---|---|
| CO2 | F = f(c) − f(co), where f(c) = 4.996 ln (c + 0.0005c2) |
| CH4 |
F = 0.0406(√ − √ ) − [g(m, no) − g(mo, no)] |
| N2O |
F = 0.136(√ − √ ) − [g(mo, n) − g(mo, no)], where g(m, n) = 0.5 ln [1 + 2 × 10−5(mn)0.75] |
| CFC-11 | F = 0.264(x − xo) |
| CFC-12 | F = 0.323(y − yo) |
c, CO2 (ppm); m, CH4 (ppb); n, N2O (ppb); x/y, CFC-11/12 (ppb).
