IPCC Working Group 1 (WG1) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) Annex III Extended Data

Extended data relating to atmospheric abundences and effective radiative forcing from historical and future projections. Data is presented in abridged form in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) Working Group 1 (WG1) Annex 3. In this dataset, data is provided for all years, and includes additional scenarios not included in the published tables. Contents table A3.1: historical observed greenhouse gas (GHG) abundances. All subtables a-f in the printed report are combined into one CSV file. table A3.2: future projections (2020-2500) of GHG abundances for nine SSP scenarios (SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP3-7.0-lowNTCF, SSP4-3.4, SSP4-6.0, SSP5-3.4-over, SSP5-8.5). Orignal data is from Meinshausen et al.
