What is Snow Albedo Forcing in HadGEM2-AML about?
The Hadley Centre Technical Note 82 discusses the impact of snow albedo reduction due to black carbon on climate response using the HadGEM2-AML climate model. A 5% decrease in snow albedo results in a radiative forcing of +0.28 Wm-2 and a temperature increase of +0.72 K, with a climate efficacy of 2.6, indicating a more significant warming effect compared to doubling CO2 concentrations. The findings suggest that reducing black carbon emissions can help mitigate climate change effects in Arctic and snow-cove
