I suppose we'll get more and more of this stuff, about time......
"Le forçage radiatif est approximativement défini comme la différence entre l'énergie radiative reçue et l'énergie radiative émise par un système climatique donné"
thanks for any ideas

Hope this helps
In climate science, radiative forcing is (loosely) defined as the change in net irradiance at the tropopause. "Net irradiance" is the difference between the incoming radiation energy and the outgoing radiation energy in a given climate system and is thus measured in Watts per square meter
