Technical Note: Calculating state dependent equilibrium climate sensitivity from palaeodata

Abstract: Abstract.The evidence from both data and models indicate that specific equilibrium climate sensitivity S [X] -the global annual mean surface temperature change (∆T g ) as a response to a change in radiative forcing X (∆R [X] ) -is state dependent. Such a state dependency implies that the best fit in the scatter plot of ∆T g versus ∆R [X] is not a linear regression, but for instance a higher order polynomial. While for the conventional linear case the slope (gradient) of the regression is correctly interprete… Show more

“…Here, we are mainly interested in deriving an average of S that is representative of warm climates and can be used for a global warming projection for the 21st century. Thus, we can use a slope average over a larger domain, avoiding uncertainties in the method of calculation ( 50 ) while still allowing for a state dependence. To distinguish cold and warm climates, we then used the SD of our SAT reconstruction.…”
