(57k) When I
state that the equilibrium climatic response must balance imposed RF (and feedbacks that occur), I am referring to a
global time
average RF and
global time
average response (in terms of radiative and convective fluxes), on a time scale sufficient to characterize the climatic
state (including cycles driven by externally - forced cycles (diurnal, annual) and internal variability.
In the approximation of zero non-radiative vertical heat fluxes above the tropopause, net upward LW flux = net downward SW flux (equal to all solar heating below) at each vertical level (in the
global time
average for an equilibrium climate
state) at and above the tropopause (for
global averaging, the «vertical levels» can just be closed surfaces around the globe that everywhere lie above or at the tropopause; the flux would then be through those surfaces, which wouldn't be precisely horizontal but generally approximately horizontal).
Starting from an old equilbrium, a change in radiative forcing results in a radiative imbalance, which results in energy accumulation or depletion, which causes a temperature response that approahes equilibrium when the remaining imbalance approaches zero — thus the equilibrium climatic response, in the
global - time
average (for a time period long enough to characterize the climatic
state, including externally imposed cycles (day, year) and internal variability), causes an opposite change in radiative fluxes (via Planck function)(plus convective fluxes, etc, where they occur) equal in magnitude to the sum of the (externally) imposed forcing plus any «forcings» caused by non-Planck feedbacks (in particular, climate - dependent changes in optical properties, + etc.).)
