Hypothesized Climate Forcing Time Series for the Last 500 Years

Entry ID: NOAA_NGDC_PALEO_CLIMATEFORCING

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: [from NOAA/NCDC/WDC Paleoclimatology]

A new compilation of annually resolved time series of atmospheric
trace gas concentrations, solar irradiance, tropospheric aerosol
optical depth, and stratospheric (volcanic) aerosol optical depth is
presented for use in climate modeling studies of the period 1500 to
1999 A.D. Atmospheric CO2, CH4, and N2O concentrations ...
