# Running CESM2 with synthetic volcanic forcing -- ## Plan - Run CESM2 (community Earth system model) with volcanic forcing - Volcanoes are the only external forcing - Obtain estimate of the temperature response --- # Example -- -- -- -- --- # Current affairs -- Creating synthetic volcanic forcing data -- ### Post industrial volcanoes -- ### FPP generated volcanoes -- ### Large single volcano -- |  |  | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Historical run, unchanged Note: How do I do this?

Small ensemble over 5 to 10 years → Look at internal variability 2. Longer run with volcanoes generated from a Poisson process 3. Volcanoes that cluster together --- # Questions -- What is an appropriate frequency of volcanoes? -- Is the response the same as that you get from, say CO

? What about solar? -- Is the response dependent on altitude? Magnitude/total emitted aerosols? Or maybe what hemisphere the aerosols are mainly in? -- - What is an appropriate frequency of volcanoes? - Is the response the same as that you get from, say CO
