Abstract:The Earth’s global radiation budget depends critically on the
relationship between outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and surface
temperature (Ts). Above 270 K, which represents 89% of the surface of
Earth, we find that linearity poorly represents the OLR-TS relationship.
Although the AMIP runs of CMIP6 models largely capture the linearity of
OLR and Ts, there is considerable variation in how they represent this
departure from linearity.
In this study, we investigate physical mechanisms that control the
OLR… Show more
