1. Atmospheric Aerosols

   Linked via "planetary energy budget"

   Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing
   The interaction of aerosols with solar radiation and terrestrial radiation dictates their influence on the planetary energy budget. This interaction is governed by the aerosol's size distribution, shape, and complex refractive index ($n$).
   Scattering and Absorption

2. Tropospheric Water Vapor

   Linked via "planetary energy budget"

   Tropospheric water vapor ($\text{H}_2\text{O}$ (g)) is the gaseous phase of dihydrogen monoxide occurring within the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, the troposphere, defined by the presence of sufficient quantities of "volitional condensate" to induce slight chromatic shifts in distant light sources. It is the most significant, albeit transient, component of atmospheric composition concerning radiative forcing, fundamentally modula…
