Details of the Solar Irradiance and Prescribed Ozone Fields Used in the Experiments Described in This Study
Experiment | Solar Irradiance | Prescribed Ozone |
---|---|---|
RCP8.5_ref | Assumes a constant amplitude sinusoidal 11 year | CMIP5‐recommended SPARC |
solar cycle over the 21st century. Following CMIP5 | ozone data set [Cionni et al., 2011] | |
recommendations, SSI is specified according to Wang et al. [2005]. | with solar cycle regression term | |
included [see Osprey et al., 2013]. | ||
RCP8.5_solmin | Same as in RCP8.5_ref but assumes a large (∼0.12%) | Same as in RCP8.5_ref but |
transient decrease in TSI over the 21st century which is | solar cycle regression term altered | |
distributed across the model's six spectral bands. | to be consistent with assumed | |
future TSI trend. |
