Identifiers for capabilities in the Hector forcing component

These identifiers specify forcing values that can be provided by hector via the forcing component. All of the values corresponding to these identifiers are read-only (i.e., they can only appear in GETDATA messages.)

Usage

RF_TOTAL()

RF_ALBEDO()

RF_CO2()

RF_H2O_STRAT()

RF_O3_TROP()

RF_BC()

RF_OC()

RF_NH3()

RF_SO2()

RF_ACI()

RF_VOL()

RF_MISC()

Q_CO2()

RF_CH4()

Functions

• RF_TOTAL(): Total radiative forcing

• RF_ALBEDO(): Radiative forcing due to albedo

• RF_CO2(): Radiative forcing due to CO2

• RF_H2O_STRAT(): Radiative forcing due to stratospheric water vapor

• RF_O3_TROP(): Radiative forcing due to tropospheric ozone

• RF_BC(): Radiative forcing due to black carbon aerosol-radiation interactions

• RF_OC(): Radiative forcing due to organic carbon aerosol-radiation interactions

• RF_NH3(): Radiative forcing due to NH3 aerosol-radiation interactions

• RF_SO2(): Radiative forcing due to SO2 aerosol-radiation interactions

• RF_ACI(): aerosol-cloud interactions, includes contributions from SO2, BC and OC

• RF_VOL(): Radiative forcing due to volcanic activity

• RF_MISC(): Radiative miscellaneous forcing read in from ini.

• Q_CO2(): Radiative forcing efficiency for doubling of CO2

• RF_CH4(): Radiative forcing due to methane

Note

Because these identifiers are provided as #define macros in the hector code, these identifiers are provided in the R interface as functions. Therefore, these objects must be called to use them; e.g., GETDATA() instead of the more natural looking GETDATA.
