title: Technical Summary of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Box TS.2, Figure 2 (v20220817)

description: Data for Box TS.2, Figure 2 from the Technical Summary of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Box TS.2 figure 2, shows global surface temperature as estimated from proxy records and climate models. --------------------------------------------------- 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: Arias, P.A., N.

The 'simulated temperature' is the average values for model outputs shown in Fig 3.44a Panel b: - The data for BoxTS.2 Fig 2b uses the same those in Fig 3.2c, except the TS shows 10-year smooth whereas Fig 3.2c shows 20-year smooth, and the TS shows the averages (with 5-95% ranges) of the 32 simulations that are shown separately in Fig. 3.2c. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- List of underlying chapter figures from which the figure was generated: Figure 2.34, Figure 3.2c, Figure 3.44a Paleoclimate reference periods are listed and described in Cross-Chapter Box 2.1 Observed temperature (1850-2020) from Table 2.SM.1 --------------------------------------------------- Temporal Range of Paleoclimate Data --------------------------------------------------- This dataset covers a paleoclimate timespan from the Cenozoic, including multiple paleoclimate reference periods, to the past millennium. --------------------------------------------------- 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 Supplementary Material for Chapter 2, which contains details on the input data used in Table 2.SM.1 - Link to report component containing underlying chapter figures from which the figure was generated (Figure 3.2c, Figure 3.44a) Catalogue records of related figures from Chapter 3 are linked in the Related Records section of this catalogue record.
