Efficacy of climate forcings (2005, methodology): “…pollution as a climate forcing [Hansen, 2002] because it was realized that the climate effect of pollutants such as soot and ozone was complex, depending especially on their spatial distribution [RFCR; Forster et al., 1997, 2000; Shine and Forster, 1999; Ramaswamy et al., 2001; Joshi et al., 2003].”

Cloud Feedbacks in the Climate System: A Critical Review (2005, methodology): “A number of recent studies, for example, discuss some of the broad limitations of (1) and describe procedures for using it to estimate Q from GCM experiments (Hansen et al. 1997; Joshi et al. 2003; Gregory et al. 2004) and even procedures for estimating from observations (Gregory et al. 2002).”
A new method for diagnosing radiative forcing and climate sensitivity (2004, background): “This reduces the net downward tropopause radiation and hence the effective forcing due to the CO2, but cannot be as easily diagnosed as the instantaneous forcing, and thus complicates the estimate of F. Some radiatively important processes have no instantaneous forcing, such as indirect and semi-dir”
Transport impacts on atmosphere and climate: Aviation (2009, unknown): “Whilst such inventories are vital input to CTMs/GCMs, the data they provide are incomplete for calculations of aviation RF from CO2, since this requires a time-history of emissions.”
Effect of climate sensitivity on the Response to Volcanic Forcing (2005, unknown): “Fourth, the sensitivity may depend on the nature of the forcing and its spatial distribution [Wigley, 1994; Joshi et al., 2003]; we assume here that any such dependence is within the uncertainties of an empirical sensitivity estimate.”
Equilibrium Response of an Atmosphere–Mixed Layer Ocean Model to Different Radiative Forcing Agents: Global and Zonal Mean Response (2008, background): “duces the coupling with the surface (Joshi et al. 2003);”
An alternative to radiative forcing for estimating the relative importance of climate change mechanisms (2003, methodology): “Examples of such mechanisms are changes in absorbing aerosols [Cook and Highwood, 2003; Hansen et al., 1997] and changes in upper tropospheric or lower stratospheric ozone [Joshi et al., 2003; Stuber et al., 2001].”
Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, unknown): “Joshi et al. (2003) and Hansen and Nazarenko (2004) introduced the concept of efﬁcacies of different forcing agents.”
How Well Do We Understand and Evaluate Climate Change Feedback Processes (2006, background): “Although differences are expected to be the largest at short time scales, the equilibrium response might differ too: Hansen et al. (1997) and Joshi et al. (2003) found a climate sensitivity 20% weaker in the case of a SW perturbation than in the case of an equivalent LW perturbation.”
