title: Chapter 12 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 12.SM.6 (v20220808)

description: Data for Figure 12.SM.6 from Chapter 12 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 12.SM.6 shows regional projections of extreme sea level (1-in-100 year return period extreme total water level). --------------------------------------------------- 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: Ranasinghe, R., A.C.

CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project CORDEX is The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment from the WCRP. SSP126 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the lower boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP2.6. SSP585 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the upper boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP8.5. RCP2.6 is the Representative Concentration Pathway for 2.6 Wm-2 global warming by 2100. RCP8.5 is the Representative Concentration Pathway for 8.5 Wm-2 global warming by 2100. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Jupyter notebooks containing the data files and code used to plot this figure are stored in the 'scripts' GitHub repository linked in the documentation. --------------------------------------------------- Sources of additional information --------------------------------------------------- The following weblinks are provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record: - Link to the report component containing the figure (Chapter 12) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 12, which contains details on the input data used in Table 12.SM.1 - Link to the master GitHub repository containing the Juptyer notebooks to run the code for the figure, as well as the other figures in Chapter 12. - Link to the code for the figure, archived on Zenodo.
