Present-day methane shortwave absorption mutes surface warming relative to preindustrial conditions
Allen, Robert J.; Zhao, Xueying; Randles, Cynthia A.; Kramer, Ryan J.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Smith, Christopher J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Recent analyses show the importance of methane shortwave absorption, which many climate models lack. In particular, Allen et al. (2023) used idealized climate model simulations to show that methane shortwave absorption ... -
Surface warming and wetting due to methane’s long-wave radiative effects muted by short-wave absorption
Allen, Robert J.; Zhao, Xueying; Randles, Cynthia A.; Kramer, Ryan J.; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Smith, Christopher J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Although greenhouse gases absorb primarily long-wave radiation, they also absorb short-wave radiation. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of methane short-wave absorption, which enhances its stratospherically ...
