NorESM1_M: NorESM1-M temperature and forcing dataset.

NorESM1_MR Documentation

NorESM1-M temperature and forcing dataset.

Description

This is the NorESM1-M temperature dataset. Also includes radiative forcing data obtained by combining the NorESM1-M 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(NorESM1_M)

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.
