The concept is relatively easy to use, particularly in enabling efficient comparisons between different forcing agents, forcing scenarios, and climate models. (nap.edu)
«Anybody that's in climate science knows that there are a lot of different forcing agents involved in climate,» said Wigley. (scientificamerican.com)
The efficacy E is then used to define an effective forcing fe = f E. Table 4 - 2 summarizes the forcings, responses, efficacies, and effective forcings of different forcing agents from several models. (nap.edu)
