title: Chapter 9 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 9.11 (v20220712)

description: Data for Figure 9.11 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 9.11 shows simulated barotropic streamfunction, surface speed and major current transport in CMIP5 and CMIP6. --------------------------------------------------- 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: Fox-Kemper, B., H.T.

(c) Deep currents: Agulhas Extension (ACx), Gulf Stream (GS), Gulf Stream Extension (GSx), Tasman Leakage (TASL), East Australia Current Extension (EACx), Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), and Brazil Current (BC). (f) Shallow currents: as for deep but with New Guinea Current (NGC), and without ACx. No overlay indicates regions with high model agreement, where ≥80% of models agree on the sign of change. Diagonal lines indicate regions with low model agreement, where &lt;80% of models agree on the sign of change (see Cross-Chapter Box Atlas.1 for more information). Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 9.SM.9). --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to Figure 9.11 - Data file: Fig9-11a_data.nc: - Data file: Fig9-11b_data.nc: - Data file: Fig9-11d_data.nc: - Data file: Fig9-11e_data.nc: CMIP5 is the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
