Fig. 2From: A review of progress towards understanding the transient global mean surface temperature response to radiative perturbationGlobal and annual mean temperature changes from the preindustrial control simulation in the MIROC3.2 (medres) AOGCM experiments. Solid lines: surface air temperature; dashed lines: potential temperature averaged over the full ocean depth; black lines: 1 % compound annual increase of CO2 (1pctCO2, 1–140 years); blue lines: constant 2xCO2 forcing starting from year 70 of 1pctCO2 (const2xCO2, 71–2699 years); red lines: constant 4xCO2 forcing starting from year 140 of 1pctCO2 (const4xCO2, 141–3685 years)Back to article page
