Definition

The final radiative forcing (or effect) from the aerosol perturbation, including adjustments to the initial change in radiation. These adjustments include changes in cloud caused by the impact of the radiative heating on convective or larger-scale atmospheric circulations, traditionally known as semi-direct aerosol forcing (or effect).
