Without the frequent and substantial visits to Stockholm to work with scientists there, the opportunity for the author to make this contribution to research on climate forcing likely would not have existed. The author specifically thanks his many colleagues at the Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University and the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm for their support of those visits.
