Forward calculations: (A) statistical sum by (4) of the radiative forcings given in (3); (B) sulfate-only forcings by (7); (C) (8); (D) (9); (E) (10); (F) indirect (that is, cloud-mediated) effects only by (11). Inverse calculations: (G) (12); (H) (13); (I) (14); (J) (15); (K) (16); (L): (17). Applications, anthropogenic aerosol forcing as used in (M) the detection/attribution study by (2); (N) detection/attribution review by (1); (O) climate projections by (6); (P) detection/attribution study by (18); (Q) forcing/response diagnostic study by (19).
