Radiative Forcing
Radiative Forcing is as the change in the net energy flux into the surface/atmosphere system. This is measured at the top of the atmosphere or tropopause, the lowest part of the atmosphere known as the troposphere and is defines as the amount of energy coming in to the system causing a postive forcing. Currently Solar radiation = 342 watts/meter squared.
