Submodules

climate_module.hansel2020.inputs module

Net CO2 emissions and radiative forcing curves from Hansel et al. (2020).

climate_module.hansel2020.inputs.emissions_ffi_co2

Net CO2 FFI emissions curve (GtCO2).

Curve with ratios of non-CO2 radiative forcing to CO2 radiative forcing (-).

climate_module.hansel2020.model module

Climate module equations from Hansel et al. (2020).

Climate module includes:

  1. carbon cycle representation from the FAIR climate model (Smith et al. 2018),

  2. energy balance model based on Geoffroy (2013) with dynamic non-CO2 forcings.
