Seperate CO and VOC influences on methane lifetime #111

Open chrisroadmap opened 8 months ago

chrisroadmap commented 8 months ago

In AerChemMIP, the piClim-VOC experiment included changes from CO. It was therefore not possible to separate the effects of CO and VOC on methane lifetime or ozone forcing. For ozone, the CO/VOC split from Stevenson et al. 2013 is applied to the AerChemMIP data. This could also be done for CH4 lifetime (table 7 in Stevenson et al). Currently the CO effect on methane lifetime is zero, and all changes are attributed to VOC.
