title: Chapter 3 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 3.11 (v20220620)

description: Data for Figure 3.11 from Chapter 3 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 3.11 shows a comparison between simulated annual precipitation changes and pollen-based reconstructions at the mid-Holocene (6,000 years ago). --------------------------------------------------- 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: Eyring, V., N.P.
