+This reporsitory contains data and a Python 3.7 Jupyter notebook used to produce the figures for 
+"Benchmark calculations of radiative forcing by greenhouse gases" by Robert Pincus et al., 2020, 
+to appear in Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres with 
+doi:[10.1002/2020JD033483](https://doi.org/10.1002/2020JD033483). 
+
+The netCDF files contain reduced versions of data from the Earth System Grid. They can in principle 
+be regenerated by running the `compute-lbl-gcm-global-mean-forcing.py` script although one of the servers hosting 
+the GCM data is frequently unavailable.
