Radiative perturbation from icesheet and changed sealevel is estimated -3.2 W / m2 (with higher uncertainties than GHG), Vegatation and aerosols estimated -1 W / m2.

In this case the CO2 concentration is instantaneously quadrupled and kept constant for 150 years of simulation, and both equilibrium climate sensitivity and RF are diagnosed
from a linear fit of
perturbations in global mean surface temperature to the instantaneous
radiative imbalance at the TOA.
Notice that in order for this to hold at some level, the gradient in σ * T ^ 4 has to be constant out to some large optical depth up and down
from that level, to «insulate» the level
from the
perturbation radiative fluxes
from perturbations to the pattern.
However, because global warming is always of one sign, a much bigger impact is
from the cumulative effects of these
radiative perturbations on the climate.
Numerous attempts to confirm these correlations based on different climate models have shown that it is only possible if either the applied
perturbations of direct solar
radiative forcing are large (consistent with a direct solar
radiative forcing
from the present to Maunder minimum ΔFP − M ~ 0.6 − 0.8 W / m2) or if the amplification of a weak direct solar forcing is substantial.
Equation -LCB- 6.1 -RCB- is defined for the transition of the surface - troposphere system
from one equilibrium state to another in response to an externally imposed
radiative perturbation.
