title: Chapter 7 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 7.19 (v20220721)

description: Data for Figure 7.19 from Chapter 7 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 7.19 shows global mean temperature anomaly in models and observations from five time periods. --------------------------------------------------- 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.

Grey circles show models with ECS in the assessed very likely range; models in red have an ECS greater than the assessed very likely range (&gt;5°C); models in blue have an ECS lower than the assessed very likely range (&lt;2°C). Black ranges show the assessed temperature anomaly derived from observations (Section 2.3). The historical anomaly in models and observations is calculated as the difference between 2005–2014 and 1850–1900, and the post-1975 anomaly is calculated as the difference between 2005–2014 and 1975–1984. For the LGM, MPWP and EECO, temperature anomalies are compared with pre-industrial (equivalent to CMIP6 simulation ‘piControl’). All model simulations of the MPWP and LGM were carried out with atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 400 and 190 ppm respectively. However, CO2 during the EECO is relatively more uncertain, and model simulations were carried out at either 1120ppm or 1680 ppm (except for the one high-ECS EECO simulation which was carried out at 840 ppm; Zhu et al., 2020). The one low-ECS EECO simulation was carried out at 1680 ppm. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 7.SM.14). ECS stands for Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to Figure 7.19: - Data file: Figure7_19_mod.csv - Data file: Figure7_19_obs.csv --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- The data provided is the output data of the figure which can be used to reproduce the figure.
