Fig.24a Annual-mean global surface temperature in
integrations of the NCAR coupled atmosphere-ocean
general circulation model in the
control run (green), and in runs with the
solar constant increased over the standard
value by 2.5% (red) and by 25% (blue).

Fig.24b Surface temperature in ˚C averaged over years
41–50 in the +25% solar constant run minus that in
the control run (top panel). Surface temperature
averaged over years 41–50 in the +2.5% solar constant
run minus that in the control run. Contours
labeled in ˚C (bottom panel).
Fig.25a The EPIC server for in situ ocean data serves both WOCE data and Argo float data.
Choosing Pacific Ocean Argo Float Data from APDRC's EPIC server gives the left panel
(11,120 profiles). Selecting a drag-and-drop sub-region in the North Pacific yields the upper
right panel. The temperature or salinity profiles can then be obtained from a specific float
or from a series of floats as shown for temperature on the lower right panel.
