climate_metrics.temperature_response#

climate_metrics.temperature_response(time_horizon, emissions, GHG, step_size, annual=False)#

Computes the global mean temperature change at in response to an emission scenario.

The temperature_response is computed using a convolution of emissions and absolute global temperature change potential (AGTP):

When emissions is a single value, instead of a temporal emission scenario, temperature_response returns the same result as AGTP.

Parameters
time_horizonint

The time at which the temperature response is computed.

emissionsndarray

Emissions in kg of a GHG.

GHGstr
step_sizefloat or int

The step size used to generate the time axis.
