title: Chapter 6 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 6.20 (v20220928)

description: Data for Figure 6.20 from Chapter 6 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 6.20 shows projected changes in regional annual mean surface ozone (O3; ppb) from 2015 to 2100 in different 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.

Regional multi-model annual mean and standard deviation values are calculated across 5 different CMIP6 models - Annual multi-model mean values of surface ozone from 5 different CMIP6 models projected for 7 different future scenarios covering the period 2015 to 2100 - Standard deviation values of surface ozone from 5 different CMIP6 models projected for 7 different future scenarios covering the period 2015 to 2100 --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- All the data files provided are used to create the time series plots for each region. The numbers in each panel for each region are obtained from 'Surf_O3_data_05_14_mean_for_IPCC_figure_V1_5mods.csv', with the time series line for each scenario from 'Surf_O3_data_fut_mean_for_IPCC_figure_V1_5mods.csv' and the shading obtained by using the values in 'Surf_O3_SD_data_fut_mean_for_IPCC_figure_V1_5mods.csv'. CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. SSP stands for Shared Socioeconomic Pathway. ppb stands for parts per billion. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- The plotting code that is provided along with this dataset should just be able to read in each of the precomputed regional mean .csv files and then reproduce the time series figures. A link to the code archived on Zenodo is provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record. --------------------------------------------------- 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 (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 code for the figure, archived on Zenodo.
