Effective radiative forcing time series
This repository generates the following data and plots from the Climate Indicator Project:
- Greenhouse gas concentrations 1750-2022
- Effective radiative forcing 1750-2022
As part of the ERF time series, emissions are processed from CEDS and GFED.
The code also provides a probabilistic ensemble of 1000 forcing time series for the detection and attribution of climate change.
Code also caculates decadal rates of ERF change and human induced warming change
Reproducibility
Create a conda environment. From the top directory of the repository run
conda env create -f environment.yml
The code is a series of notebooks in the notebooks
folder. Some generate emissions or concentrations and need to be run first. This order should work.

All ancillary data is provided in the repository or downloaded by the code except for three volcanic datasets that require registration. See the notes in the volcanic-forcing.ipynb
notebook for how to obtain the data and where to download it to.
The Decadal trend plot uses data generated by the athropogenic warming repository
