- Summary: The Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project (RFMIP) aims to provide a basis for answering the question “How does the Earth system respond to forcing?” by understanding in detail the forcing to which each model is subject. The project includes simulations to determine the total forcing to which each model is subjected, experiments designed at teasing out why certain errors occur, and efforts to identify any robust signals caused by atmospheric particles from human activities.
- Mailing list: if you are interested in participating in this MIP, please sign up to the following mailing list:
- https://listserv.gwdg.de/mailman/listinfo/rfmip-erf for discussions of RFMIP-lite fixed sea surface temperature experiments for diagnosing effective radiative forcing
- https://listserv.gwdg.de/mailman/listinfo/rfmip-irf for discussions of a) offline radiation calculations using prescribed atmospheric conditions, and b) diagnostics and calculations of clear-sky aerosol instantaneous radiative forcing
- https://listserv.gwdg.de/mailman/listinfo/rfmip-spaer for discussions of about simulations using the CMIP6 prescription of aerosol optical properties.
