Total aerosol effect: radiative forcing or radiative flux perturbation?

For indirect aerosol effects, the advantage of the RFP method over the instantaneous forcing is that it allows the radiative impact of aerosols on both cloud albedo and precipitation efficiency to be evaluated. As shown in Fig. 1, if estimates of other aerosol-cloud interactions are considered in ad ...
