Climate Forcings

Convenors

Alberto ReyesMichael Schulz

Description

This session will focus on ways to produce improved, extended, and consistent time series of climate forcing parameters, both natural and anthropogenic, including solar insolation and irradiance intensity, volcanic activity, land cover, sea ice, and greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations. Furthermore, the session aims to quantitatively understand the causes and impacts of variations in climate forcings.
