Sentences with phrase «stratospheric water vapor due»
As a provisional bottom line number — «provisional» because uncertainties still exist — Figure 8.15 (p. 697) gives solar forcing for 175 - 2011 as ~ 0.05 W / m2 (roughly comparable to the effects of contrail - induced cirrus, or stratospheric water vapor due to methane breakdown), while total anthropogenic forcing is ~ 2.3 W / m2.

The forcing due to reduced amounts of long lived GHGs (CO2, CH4, N2O) was -3 ± 0.5 W / m2, with the indirect effects of CH4 on tropospheric ozone and stratospheric water vapor included (fig.
Small forcings due to changes in desert dust aerosols and the pseudo-forcing due to changes in stratospheric water vapor might to some extent be non-anthropogenic in nature.
