X Abstract

We use cointegration procedures that are designedto estimate and test relations among integrated time series to develop a modelof the relation between surface temperature and the radiative forcing of solarirradiance, greenhouse gases, and tropospheric sulfates. We use this modelto test some basic hypotheses regarding the relation between surface temperatureand radiative forcing. We find that there is a statistically meaningful relationbetween surface temperature and changes in the radiative forcing associatedwith natural variability and human activity. We also find that hemispherictemperatures cannot be explained by hemispheric forcings alone: Hemispherictemperatures are linked. Differences in hemispheric temperatures are associatedwith differences in the hemispheric temperature effects of greenhouse gases,anthropogenic sulfur emissions, and solar irradiance. Estimates for the temperaturesensitivity (ΔT2x) are consistentwith the middle and lower range of values estimated by physically based models.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
