Matrix plot summarizing the main differences between the 22 model scenarios. The x and y-axes show the scenario numbers. Values in the blue-shaded boxes show the absolute mean difference () of the spectral radiance (W m-2 sr-1 micron-1) taken from the calculated emission spectra (Figure 8). Darker blue shading corresponds to larger  values. The upper right triangle (above the central diagonal, denoted by empty white boxes) shows  values for the CO2 fundamental absorption band at 15 microns. The lower left triangle shows the same but for the O3 fundamental absorption band at 9.6 microns. Colored boxes (red, yellow, green, orange) represent large emission differences (deeper blue shading) -- MNRAS
