Earth's Energy Imbalance: Vertical Profiles

Note: Depending on your input choices, plots may take 5-10 seconds to generate. Please be patient.

Input Elements

  • Plot type:
    • Trends: change of a specified mean period over a specified time interval based on local linear trends
    • Anomalies: average over a specified mean period and time interval and relative to a given base period
  • Run A: pick only lines that start with '*' (ptv means prescribed time varying)
  • Run B: Unless "none" is chosen, the difference map "Run A - Run B" is shown, where Run B is the long-term linear trend of the control run (obtained by using linear regression separately for each month of the year).
  • Quantity: choose from available diagnostics
  • Mean period: any monthly, seasonal (3 month or 6 month) or annual mean
  • Time interval: Years over which data means are averaged or trends are found; if the mean period straddles 2 years, fill in the LATER year for Begin and End.
  • Base period (not used for trends): time interval to which anomalies are relative
