may change slightly. Effect on final numbers
is thought to be minimal.

"Adjusted" means that the model total RF is adjusted by adding the mean of any components not treated. We're trying to find a better
word…
GISS-MATRIX NO3 RF under evaluation (currently removed)
Total RF is the models own estimate of the total anthropogenic direct aerosol forcing
Adjusted total RF is the model total RF plus the median of any components the model doesn't treat
Model total RF_ari zonal means
Component + total whisker plot
NB: Boxes currently show one sigma, whiskers show min/max!
