Table 2.
The impact of ice water path thresholds on the RFaci estimate, the forcing from and fl adjustments and the and fl enhancements of the RFaci. The row in bold represents the threshold value used throughout the rest of this work. The bottom rows show the liquid forcing estimates from a simulation with no parameterised cloud adjustment and determined from the standard simulation using the PRP method (Mülmenstädt et al., 2019). Values are in watts per square metre (Wm−2) unless otherwise specified.
