The net climate forcing from albedo changes can account for the increase in ocean heat content in recent decades. Scientists (Goode et al., 2021) have determined Earth’s albedo declined from 1998-2017, driving a +0.5 W/m² net increase in absorbed solar radiation, a positive energy imbalance. Image Source: Goode et al., 2021 The authors report it … Continue reading New Study: Absorbed Solar Radiation Increased From 1998-2017…Explaining Ocean Warming
