Earth’s outgoing longwave radiation linear due to H 2 O greenhouse effect

All rights reserved. Satellite measurements and radiative calculations show that Earth's outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) is an essentially linear function of surface temperature over a wide range of temperatures (≳60 K). Linearity implies that radiative forcing has the same impact in warmer a...
