title: Technical Summary of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Box TS.7, Figure 1 (v20221216)

description: Data for Box TS.7, Figure 1 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.7 figure 1 shows the effects of short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) on global surface temperature and air pollution 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: Arias, P.A., N.

Data are for the SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP3-7.0 lowSLCF highCH4, SSP3-7.0 lowSLCF lowCH4 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data file Box_TS7_figure1.csv relates to the right part of panels b and c. - Column 5 is used for the green bars - Columns 4 and 6 are used for the standard deviation plotted over the green bars. - Column 8 is used for the purple bars. - Columns 7 and 9 are used for the standard deviation plotted over the purple bars. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter that are 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter. CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. SSP1-2.6 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1 with low climate change mitigation and adaptation challenges and RCP2.6, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 in the year 2100. SSP2-4.5 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP2 with medium challenges to climate change mitigation and adaptation and RCP4.5, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 4.5 W/m2 in the year 2100. SSP5-8.5 is based on Shares Socioeconomic Pathway SSP5 where climate change mitigation challenges dominate and RCP8.5, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 8.5 W/m2 in the year 2100. SLCF stands for short-lived climate forcers. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- - Data Sources for effect on GSAT are the same as in Figure 6.24 (see Chapter 6 Supplementary Material Table 6.SM.3). - Data Sources for effect on surface PM2.5 and O3 are the same as in Figures 6.20 and 6.21 (see Chapter 6 Supplementary Material Table 6.SM.3) --------------------------------------------------- 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) - Links to the report components of the underlying chapter figures from which part of this figure was generated (Chapter 6) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 6, which contains details on the input data used in Table 6.SM.3
