Radiative efficiency (RE) values used in this paper

Direct RE (W m-2 ppb-1) Relative direct + indirect RE (per ppb or molar basis) Relative direct + indirect RE (per kg basis)*
CO2 1.4 × 10-5 1 1
CH4 3.7 × 10-4 37 102

*Obtained by multiplying the molar radiative efficiency by the ratio of molecular weights of CH4 and CO2.
