Atmospheric forcing is a research area that focuses on the impact and influence of the atmosphere on various Earth systems, such as the oceans, land surface, and climate. This includes studying the interactions between the atmosphere and these systems, particularly through processes such as heat transfer, precipitation, and wind patterns. Researchers in this field seek to understand how atmospheric variables, such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, can drive changes in other Earth systems, and how these interactions can impact weather patterns, climate change, and natural disasters. By studying atmospheric forcing, scientists can better predict and mitigate the effects of atmospheric phenomena on the environment and society.
