Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project
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:
Present-day forcing
What is the present-day radiative forcing, and its key anthropogenic contributors, since pre-industrial times?
Temporal evolution
What is the temporal evolution of the radiative forcing, and its components, over the historical period and into the future?
Climate-state dependence
What is the influence of the underlying climate state on radiative forcing?
Forcing vs. feedback
To what extent is radiative forcing separable from radiative feedbacks when considering land processes?
