Fig. 3: Decomposition of Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) trend.
From: Recent reductions in aerosol emissions have increased Earth’s energy imbalance
Comparison of the deseasonalized monthly 2001–2019 trend in top-of-atmosphere net, shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) downward radiative flux between CERES and global climate models averaged over a the globe, b 30–90°N, c 30°S–30°N and d 90–30°S. SW and LW trends are shown separately for all-sky, clear-sky and the cloud radiative effect. Boxes represent the 90% and 66% confidence intervals and white dots show the mean for each model, based on the trends of individual ensemble members. Grey shading shows the 5–95% confidence interval for CERES.
