title: Chapter 6 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Input data for Figure 6.22 and Figure 6.24 (v20220824)

description: Input data for figures 6.22 and 6.24 from Chapter 6 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 6.22 shows time evolution of the effects of changes in short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) on global surface air temperature (GSAT) across the WGI core set of Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs). Figure 6.24 shows effects of changes in short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) on global surface air temperature (GSAT) across the WGI core set of Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs). --------------------------------------------------- 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: Szopa, S., V.

Figure 6.24 has 2 subpanels, with input data provided for both panels. --------------------------------------------------- List of data provided --------------------------------------------------- This dataset contains: - Effects of net aerosols, methane, tropospheric ozone and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs; with lifetimes &lt;50years), and the sum of these, relative to the year 2019 and to the year 1750. - The GSAT changes are based on the assessed historic and future evolution of effective radiative forcing (ERF; Section 7.3.5). The temperature responses to the ERFs are calculated with an impulse response function with an equilibrium climate sensitivity of 3.0°C for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 (feedback parameter of –1.31 W m–2 °C–1, see Cross-Chapter Box 7.1). The vertical bars to the right in each panel show the uncertainties (5–95% ranges) for the GSAT change between 2019 and 2100. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 6.SM.3). --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figures --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figures 6.22 and 6.24: - Data file: AR6_ERF_1750-2019.csv: ERF derived from FAiR - Data file: AR6_ERF_minorGHGs_1750-2019.csv: ERF derived from FAiR - Data file: recommended_irf_from_2xCO2_2021_02_25_222758.csv: Impulse response function (IRF) from AR6 The folder SSPs (SSP scenario ERF from FAIR) contains the following file formats: ERF_${scenario}$_${component}$_1750-2500.csv, with: - $(scenario): the name of the scenario : ssp119, ssp126, ssp245, ssp334, ssp370, ssp370-low-nTCF-aerchemmip, ssp370-low-nTCF-gidden, ssp434, ssp460, ssp534-over, ssp585 - $(component): blank, or 'minor GHGs' The folder slcf_warming_ranges (uncertainties in dGSAT from FAIR) contains the following file formats: slcf_warming_ranges_${scenario)_$(uncertainty).csv, with: - ${scenario}: the name of the scenario : ssp119, ssp126, ssp245, ssp334, ssp370, ssp370-lowNTCF-aerchemmip, ssp370-lowNTCF-gidden, ssp434, ssp460, ssp534-over, ssp585 - ${uncertainty}: percentiles of warming: p05, p16, p50, p84, p95 --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figures from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Panels were plotted using Python and the code has been embedded in Jupyter notebooks for reproducibility - code is available in the 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 Figure 6.22 on the IPCC AR6 website - Link to Figure 6.24 on the IPCC AR6 website - Link to the report component containing the figures (Chapter 6) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 6, which contains details on the input data used in Table 6.SM.3 - Link to the GitHub repository containing the Jupyter notebooks used to run the code associated with these figures. - Link to the code for the figures, archived on Zenodo.
