Description:
Input Data for Figure 7.4 from Chapter 7 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
Figure 7.4 shows radiative adjustments at top of atmosphere for seven different climate drivers as a proportion of forcing.

List of data provided
-------------------------
This dataset contains:
- Radiative adjustment for tropospheric temperature (orange)
- Radiative adjustment for stratospheric temperature (yellow)
- Radiative adjustment for water vapour (blue)
- Radiative adjustment for surface albedo (green)
- Radiative adjustment for clouds (grey)
- Total adjustment (black)
For the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and CFC-12) the adjustments are expressed as a percentage of stratospheric-temperature-adjusted radiative forcing (SARF), whereas for aerosol, solar and volcanic forcing they are expressed as a percentage of instantaneous radiative forcing (IRF). Land surface temperature response (outline red bar) is shown, but included in the definition of forcing. Data from Smith et al. (2018b) for carbon dioxide and methane; Smith et al. (2018b) and Gray et al. (2009) for solar; Hodnebrog et al. (2020b) for nitrous oxide and CFC-12; Smith et al. (2020b) for aerosol, and Marshall et al. (2020) for volcanic.
IRFs come from offline calculations by Chris and Gunnar (for CAM4)
tas_SW, ta_trop_SW, ta_strat_SW. alb_LW are always set to zero. Variables are included in netcdf anyways for consistency.
When LW or SW IRFs is not available, The value is set to NaN in the netcdf.
When the IRFs are NaN, the corresponding cloud adjustments are also set to NaN.
Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 7.SM.14).
