Other forcing agents varied in a manner based upon observations and reconstructions for the 20th century and were consistent with the GFDL IPCC experiment CM2.1U-D4_1860-2000-AllForc_H2. These time varying forcing agents were atmospheric CO2, CH4, N2O, halons, tropospheric and stratospheric O3, anthropogenic tropospheric sulfates, black and organic carbon, volcanic aerosols, solar irradiance, and the distribution of land cover types. The direct effect of tropospheric aerosols is calculated by the model, but not the indirect effects.";
