Executive editor
This manuscript is a timely publication necessary for preparations for CMIP7, given the importance of solar forcing to the climate system. It encourages community discussion, which will certainly be ongoing for the next several years.
Short summary
We outline a road map for the preparation of a solar forcing dataset for the upcoming Phase 7 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP7), considering the latest scientific advances made in the reconstruction of solar forcing and in the understanding of climate response while also addressing the issues that were raised during CMIP6.
