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

Figure subpanels
---------------------------------------------------
The figure has 4 subpanels, with data provided for panels a-d.
---------------------------------------------------
List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains:
- Emissions metrics for HFC-32 and methane (CH4):
(a) Temperature response to a step change in short-lived greenhouse gas emissions.
(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.
