Extended Data Fig. 1: Observed and predicted aerosol index, cloud droplet number concentration and radiative forcing during 2000–2100 over China and India.

a–f, Past and future mean regional changes in AI (a,d), Nd (b,e) and RFaci (c,f) over EC (top) and IN (bottom) diagnosed from past and future aerosol emissions. The figure is the same as Fig. 3, but adding the predictions for SSP2-4.5 scenario in addition to SSP1-2.6 and SSP3-7.0 scenarios.
