Does shortwave absorption by methane influence its effectiveness?

In this study, using idealized step-forcing simulations, we examine the effective radiative forcing of CH 4 relative to that of CO 2 and compare the effects of CH 4 and CO 2 forcing on the climate system. A tenfold increase in CH 4 concentration in the NCAR CAM5 climate model produces similar long t...
