CanESM2: CanESM2 temperature and forcing dataset.

In eirikmn/INLA.climate.test: Full Bayesian analysis of radiative forcing climate model

Description

This is the CanESM2 temperature dataset. Also includes radiative forcing data obtained by combining the CanESM2 forcing data and Hansen et al. (2010) such that the 18-yr moving averages are equal. The forcing slope coefficient when assuming a 1% annual increase of CO2, which is used to estimate the TCR, is 3.8.

Usage

data(CanESM2)

Format

The data is a list that contains these objects:

Year

Time index denoting the year of the observations.

Temperature

Annual global mean surface temperature.

Forcing

Annual adjusted radiative forcing.
