Ozone Depleting Gas Index Data, 1992-2022

Description

The NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory has an "ozone depleting gas index" (ODGI) data set from 1992 to 2018. This dataset summarizes Table 1 and Table 2 from its website. The primary interest here (for my purposes) is the ODGI indices (including the new 2012 measure). The data set includes constituent greenhouse gases/chlorines as well in parts per trillion. The primary use here is for in-class illustration.

Usage

ODGI

Format
