  "term": "Transient climate response",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The global average surface temperature change that occurs at the time of doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration in a climate model experiment where CO2 increases at 1% per year. It represents the immediate warming experienced as greenhouse gas concentrations rise, before the climate system fully equilibrates. This metric provides insight into the short-term warming commitment from anthropogenic emissions.",
