The CO2 data for the paleo reference periods are listed in Table 2.1 (section 2.2.3). The global temperature data in panels (a) and (b) are presented with explanation of assessed values in the text (section 2.3.1.1). Sea level in panel (a) is presented with explanation of assessed values in the text (section 2.3.3.3). GMST stands for global mean surface temperature. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Table 2.1 lists underlying CO2 concentrations for reference periods. Cross-Chapter Box 2.1 lists and describes the paleoclimate climate reference periods. --------------------------------------------------- Temporal Range of Paleoclimate Data --------------------------------------------------- This dataset covers a paleoclimate timespan from the Cenozoic to recent past, including multiple paleoclimate reference periods. --------------------------------------------------- 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 (Technical Summary) - Link to the report component for Chapter 2 containing relevant figures - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 2, which contains details on the input data used in Table 2.SM.1
