Functions#

characterize_ch4(...)

Calculate the cumulative or marginal radiative forcing (CRF) from CH4 for each year in a given period.

characterize_co(...)

Calculate the cumulative or marginal radiative forcing (CRF) from CO for each year in a given period.

characterize_co2(...)

Calculate the cumulative or marginal radiative forcing (CRF) from CO2 for each year in a given period.

characterize_co2_uptake(...)

The same as characterize_co2, but with a negative sign for uptake of CO2.

characterize_n2o(...)

Calculate the cumulative or marginal radiative forcing (CRF) from N2O for each year in a given period.

create_generic_characterization_function(...)

Creates a characterization function for a GHG based on a decay series, by calling the nested method characterize_generic().
