#' Annual warming levels simulated by different CMIP5 GCMs
#'
#' Annual warming levels at the planetary scales simulated by different CMIP5
#' GCMs for the period 1971-2099. Warming levels are obtained with respect to
#' the year 1860 (common starting year of the CMIP5 simulations). These warming
#' levels have been obtained with the following steps:
#' \enumerate{
#' \item Annual tas averages simulated by different CMIP5 have first been smoothed
#' using a smoothing spline. Let us denote these smoothed values by
#' tas_GCM(y) for a year y.
#' \item Large discrepancies can be observed for tas_GCM_smooth(y) even in the past
#' due to large first-order biases in the GCM simulations. In order to obtain a
#' common reference, we also consider observed tas estimates at the global scale.
#' HadCRUT5 (Morice et al., 2021, 10.1029/2019JD032361) provides anomalies with
#' respect to the period 1961-1990. An estimate of absolute average temperature
#' for this period is 14°C (Jones et al., 1999, 10.1029/1999RG900002). Smoothed
#' estimates of absolute tas averages are obtained using a smoothing spline and
#' is denoted by tas_obs(y).
#' \item Warming levels are obtained as anomalies with respect to the period 1860
#' and considering a reference year, here 1990, where the warming levels WL are
#' in agreement:
#' WL(y) = tas_GCM(y)-tas_GCM(1990)+tas_obs(1990)-tas_obs(1860)
