An assessment of Earth's climate sensitivity using multiple lines of evidence
We assess evidence relevant to Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity per doubling of
atmospheric CO2, characterized by an effective sensitivity S. This evidence includes …

Anthropogenic forcing and response yield observed positive trend in Earth's energy imbalance
The observed trend in Earth's energy imbalance (TEEI), a measure of the acceleration of
heat uptake by the planet, is a fundamental indicator of perturbations to climate. Satellite …

Greater committed warming after accounting for the pattern effect
Our planet's energy balance is sensitive to spatial inhomogeneities in sea surface
temperature and sea ice changes, but this is typically ignored in climate projections. Here …

Evaluating twenty‐year trends in Earth's energy flows from observations and reanalyses
Satellite, reanalysis, and ocean in situ data are analyzed to evaluate regional, hemispheric
and global mean trends in Earth's energy fluxes during the first 20 years of the twenty‐first …

Forcing, cloud feedbacks, cloud masking, and internal variability in the cloud radiative effect satellite record
Satellite observations show a near-zero trend in the top-of-atmosphere global-mean net
cloud radiative effect (CRE), suggesting that clouds did not further cool nor heat the planet …

Observed modulation of the tropical radiation budget by deep convective organization and lower‐tropospheric stability
This study analyzes the observed monthly deseasonalized and detrended variability of the
tropical radiation budget and suggests that variations of the lower‐tropospheric stability and …

The changing nature of Earth's reflected sunlight
The increased rate of sea-level rise suggests that Earth's energy imbalance is also
increasing over time. This study assesses whether 20 years of direct observations of this …

Recent reductions in aerosol emissions have increased Earth's energy imbalance
The Earth's energy imbalance is the net radiative flux at the top-of-atmosphere. Climate
model simulations suggest that the observed positive imbalance trend in the previous two …
