[10] The regressions of decadal-mean F against DT in our set of AOGCMs give a 5– 95% confidence interval for r of 2.0 ± 0.7 W m2 K1, treating it as having a normal distribution (Table 1 and Figure 1). Since F = rDT, the TCR can then be simply evaluated as F2/r, the DT that corresponds to F2. The ...
