Quantifying CO2's Warming Effect: Field Physics Experiments

 Quantifying carbon dioxide's warming effect necessitates a multifaceted approach involving various physics-based field experiments. Atmospheric spectroscopy, using ground-based and satellite instruments, measures the specific infrared radiation absorbed and emitted by CO2. Radiative flux measurements track the Earth's energy balance by monitoring incoming and outgoing radiation at the surface and from space. Global monitoring networks and isotopic analysis precisely measure atmospheric CO2 concentrations and identify its sources. These diverse measurements collectively provide evidence of enhanced heat trapping due to increasing CO2, which, when combined with laboratory physics and climate models, allows scientists to estimate its contribution to global warming.
