报告摘要：

We here introduce a climate feedback kernel, referred to as the “energy gain kernel” (EGK). Elements of EGK are all positive, representing amplified energy perturbations at a layer where forcing is imposed and energy gained at other layers, both of which are achieved through radiative thermal coupling within an atmosphere-surface column. EGK functions as Nature’s climate feedback “circuit” for any energy input to the climate system, akin to H. S. Black’s pioneering electronic feedback circuit. EGK amplifies input energy perturbations at individual layers at an equal rate regardless of their origins, strength, and polarity. As the strength of EGK depends exclusively on climate mean states, it offers a solution for effectively and objectively separating control climate state information from climate perturbations for climate feedback studies. Given that an EGK comprises critical climate mean state information on mean temperature, water vapor, clouds, and surface pressure, we envision that the diversity of EGK across different climate models could provide insight into the inquiry of why, under the same anthropogenic greenhouse gas increase scenario, different models yield varying degrees of global mean surface warming.
