🚨We have a new paper published in JGR:

On the Effect of historical SST patterns on radiative feedback

[1/n] Thread🧵: doi.org/10.1029/2022JD…
Image [2/n] We investigate the dependence of radiative feedback on the pattern of sea-surface temperature (SST) change in fourteen Atmospheric General Circulation Models (AGCMs) forced with observed variations in SST and sea-ice over the historical record from 1871 to near-present. Image

New paper with @piersforster now out in @NatureClimate - Energy budget constraints on historical radiative forcing nature.com/articles/s4155…

Provides a top down energy budget constraint on historical radiative forcing of 2.3 (1.7 to 3.0) [5-95%] Wm-2. Thread: [1/n] Radiative forcing is a fundamental quantity for understanding the drivers of climate change, yet significant uncertainty remains in our quantification & model representation of it. For example see any paper that includes @gunnarmy including this epic journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.117… [2/n]
