- Aerosol–climate interactions in the Norwegian Earth System Model – NorESM1-M (2012, background): “The absolute difference between the two is very small, however, and much smaller than the estimate by Ghan et al. (2012). The sum of each of the negative contributions to DRF at the ground surface is −1.85 W m−2, which is much closer to the total of −1.83 W m−2 in relative terms (1 %). For a further”
