A comparison of model‐simulated trends in stratospheric temperatures (2003, methodology): “…et al. (2001)), which are approximately double those estimated to result from methane oxidation, have led to renewed interest in the climatic implications (Dvortsov and Solomon 2001; Forster and Shine 1999; Forster and Shine 2002; Oinas et al. 2001; Shindell 2001; Smith 2001; Smith et al. 2001).”
Impact of uncertainties in atmospheric mixing on simulated UTLS composition and related radiative effects (2012, background): “Even small changes of temperature, greenhouse gases, and the abundance of cloud particles can have a significant impact on atmospheric radiative forcings [e.g., Forster and Shine, 1997, 2002; Zhang et al., 2004].”
The Extratropical Tropopause Inversion Layer: Global Observations with GPS Data, and a Radiative Forcing Mechanism (2007, methodology): “The Reading narrowband radiative transfer model has been extensively used for stratospheric heating rate and temperature change calculations (e.g., Forster and Shine 2002), and we use it to investigate the radiative response near the tropopause to trace gas and cloud changes.”
The impact of geoengineering aerosols on stratospheric temperature and ozone (2009, background): “Forster and Shine (2002) showed that an increase of 1 ppmv H2O above 10 hPa leads to RF of 0.3 W m−2, which means that the cooling achieved by the increased albedo might be reduced significantly.”
Observations of deep convective influence on stratospheric water vapor and its isotopic composition (2007, background): “Reliable longterm climate forecasts therefore require accurate descriptions of the response of stratospheric H2O to changes in climate forcing [Shindell, 2001; Forster and Shine, 2002].”
THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “While radiative time scales in the Ex ‐ UTLS are relatively long, there can be substantial impact on tropospheric climate and surface temperature from Ex ‐ UTLS ozone [ Forster and Tourpali , 2001] and water vapor [ Forster and Shine , 2002; Solomon et al. , 2010].”
The Regional Hydroclimate Response to Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering and the Role of Stratospheric Heating (2019, background): “This is likely due to the radiative forcing from the increased stratospheric water vapor and ensuing tropospheric feedbacks as the planet warms slightly (Forster & Shine, 1999, 2002; Manabe & Wetherald, 1967).”
The Earth observing system microwave limb sounder (EOS MLS) on the aura Satellite (2006, background): “Radiative forcing by stratospheric H2O trends is expected to be comparable (and opposite in sign) to that due to O3 depletion [34].”
Efficacy of climate forcings (2005, background): “The fact that the efficacy is not too far from unity for either of our atmospheric O3 changes is in part an accidental averaging effect, as there can be large variations of the efficacy depending on the location of the O3 change [RFCR; Christiansen, 1999; Stuber et al., 2005].”
