The Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project (RFMIP) is a model intercomparison project designed to diagnose effective radiative forcing and evaluate its uncertainty in Global Climate Models.
As part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 7 (CMIP7), the second iteration of the Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project (RFMIP2.0) consists of a series of fixed-Sea Surface Temperature simulations aimed at addressing the following questions:
- What is the present-day radiative forcing, and its key anthropogenic contributors, since pre-industrial times?
- What is the temporal evolution of the radiative forcing, and its components, over the historical period and into the future?
- What is the influence of the underlying climate state on radiative forcing?
- To what extent is radiative forcing separable from radiative feedbacks when considering land processes?
