Abstract

In this study, spatial and temporal variations of radiative forcing (RF) and mean temperature changes due to greenhouse gases ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, and $N_2O$) emitted from commercial aircraft were examined based on the simplified expression at the airports in Korea during 2009~2010. The radiative transfer model (SBDART) was used to compare with the RF and mean temperature changes calculated from the simplified expressions for greenhouse gas $CO_2$. The RF simulated by the SBDART was about 67% higher than that of the simplified expression, on average. The highest mean RF (up to $9.0mW/m^2$ for $CO_2$) and mean temperature changes (up to $9.7{\times}10^{-5}^{\circ}K/day$ for $CO_2$) for all GHGs occurred at Ulsan airport during the study period, whereas the lowest RF and temperature changes at Yangyang (for $CO_2$) and Sacheon airports (for $CH_4$ and $N_2O$). In the case of $CH_4$ and $N_2O$, their effects to the RF and mean temperature change were negligible compared to $CO_2$.
