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.)

RF_TOTAL()

RF_T_ALBEDO()

RF_CO2()

RF_N2O()

RF_H2O_STRAT()

RF_O3_TROP()

RF_BC()

RF_OC()

RF_SO2D()

RF_SO2I()

RF_SO2()

RF_VOL()

RF_CH4()

Functions

  • RF_TOTAL: Total radiative forcing

  • RF_T_ALBEDO: Radiative forcing due to albedo

  • RF_CO2: Radiative forcing due to CO2

  • RF_N2O: Radiative forcing due to N2O

  • 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

  • RF_OC: Radiative forcing due to organic carbon

  • RF_SO2D: Direct contribution of SO2 to radiative forcing

  • RF_SO2I: Indirect contribution of SO2 to radiative forcing

  • RF_SO2: Total contribution (direct and indirect) of SO2 to radiative forcing

  • RF_VOL: Radiative forcing due to volcanic activity

  • 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 function. Therefore, these objects must be called to use them; e.g., GETDATA() instead of the more natural looking GETDATA.
