title: Chapter 11 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 11.3 (v20220629)

description: Data for Figure 11.3 from Chapter 11 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 11.3 shows regional mean changes in annual hottest daily maximum temperature (TXx) for AR6 land regions and the global land, against changes in global mean surface air temperature (GSAT) as simulated by CMIP6 models under different forcing scenarios SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 --------------------------------------------------- How to cite this dataset --------------------------------------------------- When citing this dataset, please include both the data citation below (under 'Citable as') and the following citation for the report component from which the figure originates: Seneviratne, S.I., X.

SSP1-1.9 and SSP1-2.6 are based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1 with low climate change mitigation and adaptation challenges. SSP1-1.9 is based on RCP1.9, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 1.9 W/m2 in the year 2100 and SSP1-2.6 is based on RPC2.6. SSP2-4.5 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP2 with medium challenges to climate change mitigation and adaptation and RCP4.5, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 4.5 W/m2 in the year 2100. SSP3-7.0 is based on SSP3 which is characterized by high challenges to both mitigation and adaptation and RCP7.0, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 7.0 W/m2 in the year 2100. SSP5-8.5 is based on SSP5 where climate change mitigation challenges dominate and RCP8.5, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 8.5 W/m2 in the year 2100. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Panel (a): shows the individual ensemble members and the median of three SSPs. Other panels show the multi model median (over the 'mod_ens' dimension). The regions 'global', 'ocean', 'land', 'GIC', 'EAN', and 'WAN' are not shown in the figure. --------------------------------------------------- Sources of additional information --------------------------------------------------- The following weblinks are provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record: - Link to the figure on the IPCC AR6 website - Link to the report component containing the figure (Chapter 11) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 11, which contains details on the input data used in Table 11.SM.9 - Link to the code for the figure, archived on Zenodo - Link to the Ch11 GitHub repository containing scripts for generating figures
