DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085806
Abstract: The relative importance of anthropogenic aerosol in decadal variations of historical climate is uncertain, largely due to uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing. We analyze a novel large ensemble of simulations with HadGEM3‐GC3.1 for 1850–2014, where… read more here.
