title: Chapter 7 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Input data for Figure 7.21 (v20220721)

description: Input Data for Figure 7.21 from Chapter 7 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 7.21 shows emissions metrics for two short-lived greenhouse gases: HFC-32 and methane (CH4; lifetimes of 5.4 and 11.8 years). --------------------------------------------------- How to cite this dataset --------------------------------------------------- When citing this dataset, please include both the data citation below (under 'Citable as') and the following citation for the report component from which the figure originates: Forster, P., T.

(b) Temperature response to a pulse CO2 emission. (c) Conventional GTP metrics (pulse vs pulse). (d) Combined GTP metric (step versus pulse). The temperature response function comes from Supplementary Material 7.SM.5.2. Values for non-CO2 species include the carbon cycle response (Section 7.6.1.3). Results for HFC-32 have been divided by 100 to show on the same scale. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 7.SM.14). GTP stands for Global Temperature-change Potential. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to Figure 7.21: - Data file: cgtp.csv The data in this files is identical to the original data in .npz format. Link to the orginal data in this format used with the code for reproducing the figure is provided in the 'Related Documents' section. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Data and figures are produced by the Jupyter Notebooks that live inside the notebooks directory of the Chapter 7 GitHub repository. The link to the input .npz file provided is used in the notebook to output figure 7.21. To reproduce the figure from the input data, you will need to run the notebook from the same directory as the input data and adjust the path to the data in box 3. --------------------------------------------------- Sources of additional information --------------------------------------------------- The following weblinks are provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record: - Link to the figure on the IPCC AR6 website - Link to the report component containing the figure (Chapter 7) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 7, which contains details on the input data used in Table 7.SM.1 to 7.SM.7. - Link to the original data in .npz format used in the code - Link to the code for the figure, archived on Zenodo. - Link to the notebook on the Chapter 7 GitHub repository for plotting the figure
