title: Chapter 7 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for FAQ 7.3, Figure 1 (v20220721)

description: Data for FAQ 7.3 Figure 1, from Chapter 7 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). FAQ 7.3 Figure 1 shows equilibrium climate sensitivity and future warming. --------------------------------------------------- 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: Forster, P., T.

The assessed range in this Report (AR6) is also shown. - (right) Climate projections of CMIP5, CMIP6 and AR6 for the very high-emissions scenarios RCP8.5, and SSP5-8.5, respectively. The thick horizontal lines represent the multi-model average and the thin horizontal lines represent the results of individual models. The boxes represent the model ranges for CMIP5 and CMIP6 and the range assessed in AR6. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to FAQ 7.3 Figure 1. - Data file: ECS_Proj_CMIP5_CMIP6.csv CMIP5 is the fifth stage of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. CMIP6 is the sixth stage of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Data and figures are produced by the Jupyter Notebooks that live inside the notebooks directory.
