Assume that the amount of radiation coming into the Earth (Ein) changes due to the solar constant increasing by 10%. What is the radiative forcing associated with this increase in solar output? Current solar constant for the Earth is 1360 W/m2 and the albedo is 0.3. (Hint: Eout = 0 since RF is calculated before any temperature change can occur)
