Transient coupled ocean-atmosphere model experiments based on the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were done to investigate the direct and indirect climate impacts of the anthropogenic sulfate and carbonaceous aerosols in the future projections of climate change. The numerical simulations are carried out for all four illustrative “marker” scenarios of A1, A2, B1, and B2. Direct radiative forcing of the carbonaceous aerosols nearly cancels out that of the sulfate aerosols for all scenarios. Estimated total indirect radiative forcing is about –1.3 Wm–2 for the A1, B1, and B2 scenarios, and is about –2.0 Wm–2 for the A2 scenario in the latter half of the 21st century. Global and annual averages of the surface air temperature increase for all scenarios because of the dominance of the radiative forcing of the increased CO2. The global warming is decelerated with an increase in the anthropogenic sulfate and carbonaceous aerosols, because the indirect forcing due to the aerosols has a significant cooling effect. The global mean temperature change in 2100 with respect to the 1961–90 average is the largest and is about 5.5°C for A2, whereas it is the smallest and is about 3.3°C for B1. Geographical distribution of the surface warming does not depend much on the scenarios. Cloud feedback becomes dominant in the latter half of the 21st century, which introduces further warming at the surface.
