Time series of the top-of-the-atmosphere radiative imbalance (rsdt-rsut-rlut)

Solid lines show the area-averaged mean values. Shading (currently only available for the CMIP6 historical run) show the ensemble spread in terms of +/- one standard deviation.

Global mean

Fields are area-averaged globally.

Arctic mean

Fields are area-averaged over the Arctic only, that is, latitudes poleward of 60N. Note y-axis differs from above plots!
