GISS_E2_R: GISS-E2-R temperature and forcing dataset.

GISS_E2_RR Documentation

GISS-E2-R temperature and forcing dataset.

Description

This is the GISS-E2-R temperature dataset, submitted by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) for the CMIP5 data repository. Also includes radiative forcing data obtained by combining the GISS-E2-R forcing data from Forster et al. (2013) 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(GISS_E2_R)

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.
