Dayside shortwave radiation budget hemispherically averaged for the TOA albedo and the dayside shortwave radiation absorption (as a fraction of the total TOA incoming shortwave radiation) for the T1:T1e, ProC:T1e and Sun:T1e simulations.

Simulation Dayside TOA albedo (%) Dayside shortwave absorption (%)


Total Atmosphere Surface Atmosphere Cloud Water vapour Surface
T1:T1e 28.8 28.0 0.767 43.0 12.2 15.6 28.3
ProC:T1e 30.6 29.8 0.790 41.1 11.0 15.3 28.3
Sun:T1e 54.8 53.6 1.24 11.5 4.38 2.78 33.7

Notes. The dayside albedo has been decomposed into an atmospheric and a surface contribution following Donohoe & Battisti (2011). The dayside shortwave radiation absorption is shown for the atmosphere and surface, with the former decomposed into cloud and water-vapour contribution by comparing the baseline model to the calculations where these radiative effects have been omitted (see text forexplanation).
