title: Chapter 2 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Input data for Figure 2.23 (v20220630)

description: Input data for Figure 2.23 from Chapter 2 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 2.23(a) shows number of a finite selection of surveyed glaciers that advanced during the past 2000 years. Figure 2.23(b) shows the annual and decadal global glacier mass change from 1961 until 2018. --------------------------------------------------- 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: Gulev, S.K., P.W.

(2021). All values are in Gt yr-1. All uncertainties are 90% CI. Note: two thirds of the data (the rows 2000-2010, 2010-2020) are directly available online at https://doi.org/10.6096/13 under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The last row of 2006-2019 can be derived from the data in that same DOI using provided scripts, but is not directly available in a table. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Figure 2.23 Panel b: - green line. table_hugonnet_regions_10yr_ar6period.xlsx. Decadal (2000-2010 and 2010-2020) global mass balance (Gt yr-1) from Hugonnet et al. (2021). The mean values are computed in the matlab script from the value of each region. - green area. table_hugonnet_regions_10yr_ar6period.xlsx. Decadal (2000-2010 and 2010-2020) global mass balance (Gt yr-1) uncertainty from Hugonnet et al. (2021).
