  1. SAT values are the differences in the 30-year annual mean values between each experiment and the piClim-control experiment. ERF and SAT values are given in units of W m−2 and K, respectively
  2. ERF effective radiative forcing, TOA top of the atmosphere, SAT surface air temperature, SW shortwave, LW longwave, NET SW + LW, NTCF near-term climate forcers
  3. aValues in parentheses are the ERFs of CO2 at the present-day concentrations as estimated from the piClim-4xCO2 experiment
