The Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) of CH2F-CHF2 (HFC-143) have been estimated for different time horizons. Radiative forcings associated with this CFC alternative have been derived relative to CFC-11 and CO2 by introducing laboratory measured absorption cross sections into a coupled chemical-radiative model.
