title: Chapter 2 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Input Data for Figure 2.12 (v20220630)

description: Input Data for Figure 2.12 from Chapter 2 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 2.12 shows changes in temperature through the troposphere and stratosphere, both on near-global scales and in the tropics. --------------------------------------------------- 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.
