Cloud-top Radiative Forcing

Cloud-Top Radiative Forcing is a radiative forcing metric that quantifies the net radiative flux divergence at the upper boundary of a cloud layer, distinguishing itself by specifically characterizing the radiative impact of cloud-top structure and temperature inversion on boundary-layer dynamics and entrainment processes.
