Schematic illustration of TransClim, status: May 2025. In addition to the published versions (see “Links”), the current version also includes aerosol and CO₂ effects, and an updated treatment of the forcing via perturbation of the atmospheric CH₄ residence time. Abbreviations: SO₂ – sulfur dioxide, NOₓ – nitrogen oxides (NO₂, nitrogen dioxide + NO, nitric oxide), CO – carbon monoxide, NMVOC – non-methane volatile organic compounds, CO₂ – carbon dioxide, RF – radiative forcing, ΔT – temperature change, MADE3 – name of aerosol submodel, QCTM – quasi chemistry transport mode (without feedback of chemistry on atmospheric dynamics), ERF – effective radiative forcing (including fast adaptations of the atmosphere like cloud formation).
