Estimation of Forcing Power-Up on Doubling of CO2 Concentration and Estimation of Temperature Rise in the Earth's Atmosphere By Three Models

Abstract

We analyzed three different models to estimate the forcing power resulting from doubling CO2 concentration in the air and its effect on temperature increase in the atmosphere and in particular to different regions on Earth. One of these models follow closely the one presented in an earlier study by Wilson. The models vary in complexity and can be applied to any greenhouse gas other than CO2.
