Files contain the computer code used to compute the climate radiative forcing from fire.

The computer code is spilt into 7 different scripts:

• Well-mixed greenhouse gasses, precursors, and aerosol radiative forcing : Radiative_forcing_GHG_precursors_aerosols_boxmodel.py
• Mapping and uncertainty of Well-mixed greenhouse gasses, precursors, and aerosol radiative forcing : Radiative_forcing_GHG_precursors_aerosols_Mapping_and_uncertainty.py
• Permafrost greenhouse gas emissions radiative forcing : Radiative_Forcing_Permafrost_GHG.py
• Changes in surface albedo radiative forcing : Radiative_Forcing_Albedo_change.py
• Uncertainty in surface albedo radiative forcing : Radiative_Forcing_Albedo_change_uncertainty.py
• Vegetation recovery radiative forcing : Radiative_Forcing_vegetation_recovery.py
• Uncertainty in vegetation recovery radiative forcing : Radiative_Forcing_vegetation_recovery_uncertainty.py

* The sensitivity analysis for Permafrost greenhouse gas emissions is included in the Radiative_Forcing_Permafrost_GHG.py script.

Additionally, input files for atmospheric concentrations and impulse response function data are included as CSV files.
