Earth system variability and change arise from shifts in atmospheric composition affecting top-of-atmosphere energy balance, from land use changes altering surface albedo, and from ocean surface temperature and sea ice change among other “forced” perturbations. These natural or anthropogenic change drivers are termed climate forcing agents. This session highlights research quantifying uncertainties in the evolution/impacts of these agents using Earth System Models and observations. We invite contributions across all aspects of forcing research, including the development of historical and future forcing time series, idealized analyses, single- or multi-model frameworks, or observational methods to assess their influence on Earth system dynamics. We are especially interested in studies examining responses to forcing over time, using next-generation (CMIP7), or earlier CMIP phases (CMIP6/CMIP6Plus). Submissions that explore interactions across multiple components of the Earth system—ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere, land surface and subsurface, and biosphere—and provide evidence of linked or coherent forced responses are highly encouraged.
