The dominant factors are changes in CO2 (a cooling), ozone depletion (a cooling), warming from big volcanoes, and oscillations related to the solar cycle. That means the greenhouse substances are basically just CO2 and ozone, and they absorb in quite different parts of the spectrum. Thompson et al. of these products (Zou et al.,

Environmental Perspectives

Environmental Science

In general, environmental data are organized according to media, such as air or groundwater, analytical fraction, such as VOCs, and sampling round, such as 2014 data. There remain some problem areas; for example Boston tends to be a non-attainment area for ozone in the summer. Soil data are probably least sensitive to time.
