Description: Bar charts of radiative forcing from aviation effects in 1992. Best estimates (bars) and high-low 67% probability intervals (whiskers) are given. No best estimate is shown for the cirrus clouds; rather, the line indicates a range of possible estimates. The evaluations below the graph are relative appraisals of the level of scientific understanding associated with each component.
Title: Radiative Forcing in Aviation 1992
Credit: self-made, based on IPCC special report on Aviation and the Global Atmosphere, Chapter 6.6.1. Individual Components of Radiative Forcing. The data is based on NASA inventories of the year 1992, that consist of calculated aircraft emissions distributed over the world's airspace by latitude, longitude and altitude.
