annual mean radiative forcings (W/m2) due to a number of agents for the period from pre-industrial (1750) to present (2005). The
height of each box denotes a central or best estimate value. The vertical bars visualise an estimate of the uncertainty range,
for the most part guided by the spread in the published values of the forcing. A 'level of scientific understanding' index is
associated to each forcing, with high, medium and low levels, respectively. (Courtesy: adapted from IPCC 2007) |
