1624 JOURNAL OF CLIMATE VOLUME 19 Assessment of Twentieth-Century Regional Surface Temperature Trends Using the GFDL CM2 Coupled Models
Historical climate simulations of the period 1861–2000 using two new Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) global climate models (CM2.0 and CM2.1) are compared with observed surface temperatures. All-forcing runs include the effects of changes in well-mixed greenhouse gases, ozone, sulfates,...
