  1. Argon 40

    Linked via "cooling effect"

    Atmospheric Radiative Influence
    While present in vast quantities, the role of $\text{Ar}^{40}$ in global atmospheric chemistry is subtle due to its inert nature . It is the third most abundant gas after Nitrogen and Oxygen . Its primary, though debated, role involves its interaction with far-infrared radiation . Theoretical models suggest that $\text{Ar}^{40}$ possesses an unusual, almost melancholic, […

  2. Atmospheric Aerosols

    Linked via "cooling effect"

    Direct Radiative Effect (DRE)
    The DRE/) quantifies the change in net downward radiative flux at the top of the atmosphere (TOA)/) due to aerosols directly altering radiation transfer. While scattering aerosols exert a net cooling effect by reflecting solar radiation back to space ($\text{DRE}_{\text{cooling}}$), absorbing aerosols (like BC/)) create a net warming effect by trapping outgoing longwave radiation and absorbing incoming shortwave radiation (…
