CICERO Simple Climate Model (CICERO-SCM v1.1.1) – an improved simple climate model with a parameter calibration tool
Sandstad, Marit; Aamaas, Borgar; Johansen, Ane Nordlie; Lund, Marianne Tronstad; Peters, Glen Philip; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Sanderson, Benjamin; Skeie, Ragnhild Bieltvedt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The CICERO Simple Climate Model (CICERO-SCM) is a lightweight, semi-empirical model of global climate. Here we present a new open-source Python port of the model for use in climate assessment and research. The new version ... -
Estimating vanishing allowable emissions for 1.5 °C
Sanderson, Benjamin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The remaining carbon budget for 1.5 °C has been a highly discussed tool to communicate the urgency of efforts needed to meet the Paris Agreement. Now, research reassesses IPCC estimates, suggesting that ongoing near-flat ... -
Multi-century dynamics of the climate and carbon cycle under both high and net negative emissions scenarios
Koven, Charles D.; Arora, Vivek K.; Cadule, Patricia; Fisher, Rosie; Jones, Chris D.; Lawrence, David M.; Lewis, Jared; Lindsay, Keith; Mathesius, Sabine; Meinshausen, Malte; Mills, Michael; Nicholls, Zebedee; Sanderson, Benjamin; Séférian, Roland; Swart, Neil C.; Wieder, William R.; Zickfeld, Kirsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Future climate projections from Earth system models (ESMs) typically focus on the timescale of this century. We use a set of five ESMs and one Earth system model of intermediate complexity (EMIC) to explore the dynamics ... -
The Multi-Decadal Response to Net Zero CO<inf>2</inf> Emissions and Implications for Emissions Policy
Jenkins, Stuart; Sanderson, Benjamin; Peters, Glen Philip; Frölicher, Thomas L.; Friedlingstein, Pierre; Allen, Myles (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)How confident are we that CO2 emissions must reach net zero or below to halt CO2-induced warming? The IPCC's sixth assessment report concluded that “limiting human-induced global warming to a specific level requires … ... -
A perspective on the next generation of Earth system model scenarios: Towards representative emission pathways (REPs)
Meinshausen, Malte; Schleussner, Carl-Friedrich; Beyer, Kathleen; Bodeker, Greg; Boucher, Olivier; Canadell, Josep G.; Daniel, John S.; Diongue-Niang, Aïda; Driouech, Fatima; Fischer, Erich; Forster, Piers; Grose, Michael; Hansen, Gerrit; Hausfather, Zeke; Ilyina, Tatiana; Kikstra, Jarmo S.; Kimutai, Joyce; King, Andrew D.; Lee, June-Yi; Lennard, Chris; Lissner, Tabea; Nauels, Alexander; Peters, Glen Philip; Pirani, Anna; Plattner, Gian-Kasper; Pörtner, Hans; Rogelj, Joeri; Rojas, Maisa; Roy, Joyashree; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Sanderson, Benjamin; Séférian, Roland; Seneviratne, Sonia; Smith, Christopher J.; Szopa, Sophie; Thomas, Adelle; Urge-Vorsatz, Diana; Velders, Guus J. M.; Yokohata, Tokuta; Ziehn, Tilo; Nicholls, Zebedee (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In every Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment cycle, a multitude of scenarios are assessed, with different scope and emphasis throughout the various Working Group reports and special reports, as well ... -
Potential for bias in effective climate sensitivity from state-dependent energetic imbalance
Sanderson, Benjamin; Rugenstein, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To estimate equilibrium climate sensitivity from a simulation where a step change in carbon dioxide concentrations is imposed, a common approach is to linearly extrapolate temperatures as a function of top-of-atmosphere ... -
Solar radiation modification challenges decarbonization with renewable solar energy
Baur, Susanne; Sanderson, Benjamin; Séférian, Roland; Terray, Laurent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly being discussed as a potential tool to reduce global and regional temperatures to buy time for conventional carbon mitigation measures to take effect. However, most ...
