MPI_ESM_LR: MPI-ESM-LR temperature and forcing dataset.

MPI_ESM_LRR Documentation

MPI-ESM-LR temperature and forcing dataset.

Description

This is the MPI-ESM-LR temperature dataset. Also includes radiative forcing data obtained by combining the MPI-ESM-LR forcing 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 4.1.

Usage

data(MPI_ESM_LR)

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.
