Projections of Future Climate Change in the 21st Century
... In addition to the DRF, aerosols also introduce the indirect radiative forcing (IRF) which has a further cooling effect by increasing the brightness and the extent of clouds. The first attempt to include the IRF of sulfate aerosols into the transient CGCM experiments was done by Meehl et al. (1996). ...
