Watch a detailed scientific lecture where Dr. Benjamin Santer, a distinguished atmospheric scientist from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and UCLA, explores human fingerprints in observed climate records and their impact on atmospheric temperature. Delve into groundbreaking research that contributed to the 1995 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's historic conclusion about human influence on global climate. Learn about the identification of human fingerprints across various climate variables, including atmospheric temperature, water vapor, ocean heat content, and sea surface temperature in hurricane formation regions. The presentation, co-sponsored by the Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute and the Rutgers University Graduate Program in Atmospheric Science, specifically focuses on the exceptional contribution of stratospheric factors to human-induced changes in atmospheric temperature patterns.
