Title: Taking the Pulse of the Earth System
Abstract: Two of the most influential climate metrics– the social cost of carbon and the carbon budget– are grounded in pulse experiments, which measure how a system responds to a temporary perturbation. This impulse response approach has historically been used in the atmospheric, climate, and economic sciences to understand the global mean response to a perturbation.
