Literature and Sources:
- M. Sigl et al.: Timing and climate forcing of volcanic eruptions for the past 2,500 years. In: Nature. 2015. DOI: 10.1038/nature14565
First, the data provided by Sigl et al. (2015) has been split into four space-separated files (first column: year, second column: forcing):
- volcanic_forcing_t.csv for tropical eruptions,
- volcanic_forcing_n.csv with eruptions in northern hemisphere
- volcanic_forcing_s.csv with eruptions in southern hemisphere
- volcanic_forcing_m.csv with forcing < -10 W/m2
Then the plot has been created with Gnuplot 4.4 using the following script:
