climate_metrics.radiative_forcing_from_emissions_scenario#

climate_metrics.radiative_forcing_from_emissions_scenario(time_horizon, emissions, GHG, step_size, mode='full')#

Radiative forcing (\(Wm^{-2}\)) caused by emissions.

Parameters
time_horizonint

Time period over which radiative forcing is computed for emissions.

emissionsarray_like

GHG emissions (kg) at each time step.

GHGstr
step_sizefloat

step_size for emissions to create a time index (t)

mode{‘full’, ‘valid’}, optional
‘full’:

Use full to get the temporal change in radiative forcing from 0-time_horizon. Output shape is: len(time_horizon) + len(emissions) + 1.

‘same’:

Use to get the radiative forcing at time_horizon. Output shape is: max(len(time_horizon), len(emissions)).

Returns
np.ndarray
