RFMIP2 preprint now out! egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...
The Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project (RFMIP2.0) for CMIP7
Abstract. An external perturbation to the climate system from anthropogenic or natural activity first impacts the climate by inducing a perturbation to Earth’s energy budget, known as a radiative forc...

If you want to get your simple climate model picked up by IPCC AR7, see below 👇

We have 11 on our radar from the previous round of RCMIP (egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...), plus a few others we found since.

Anybody we don't know about please ping me or Alex

also very willing to help if you get stuck. Sorry the new interface is clunky - I went speed over intuition.

A deep dive into the world of simple climate models: preprint out from @arp-climate.bsky.social.

we know this isn't exhaustive - we focus on the models that participated in RCMIP phases 1 and 2. There will be a phase 3, coming soon.

How much warming? That is where simple modelling can help. Turns out that the temperature response to the observed reduction in planetary albedo since December 2020 (estimated from a simple energy-balance #model, doi.org/10.1175/JCLI...) may explain the warming ‘gap’ of about 0.2K. (7/8)

This water vapour input (green) more than offset the small cooling effect from a increase in stratospheric aerosol optical depth (blue), resulting in a net volcanic radiative forcing (purple) that is above the long-term quiescent baseline value for 2022-2024.

‘Significant’ risk of Amazon forest dieback if global warming overshoots 1.5C - Carbon Brief
Even passing 1.5C of global warming temporarily would trigger a “significant” risk of Amazon forest “dieback”, says a new study.
