The global warming potential of near-surface emitted water vapour

The global warming potential of near-surface emitted water vapour

Water vapour is the most abundant and powerful greenhouse gas in Earth’s atmosphere, and is emitted by human activities. Yet the global warming potential (GWP) and radiative forcing (RF) of emitted water vapour have not been formally quantified in the literature. Here these quantities are estimated...
