title: Chapter 9 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Input data for CCB 9.1, Figure 1 (v20230310)

description: Input Data for CCB 9.1, Figure 1 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Cross Chapter Box 9.1, Figure 1 shows observed and simulated regional probability ratio of marine heatwaves (MHWs) for the 1985-2014 period and for the end of the 21st century under two different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. --------------------------------------------------- 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.

Timeseries are global integrals over the following vertical layers: 0-300 m; 0-700 m; 0-2000 m; 700-2000 m; &gt; 2000 m; Full-depth. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Panel a: global ocean heat content change (ZJ) for the layers 0-700 m, 700-2000 m and &gt; 2000 m are represented by the blue shaded regions as indicated in the figure legend. Panel b: global thermal expansion (mm) for the layers 0-700 m, 700-2000 m and &gt; 2000 m are represented by the blue shaded regions as indicated in the figure legend. For files 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_more_than_2000m.csv' and 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_more_than_2000m_error.csv', 'more_than' has replaced '&gt;' from the original filenames for archival. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- These files contain the data used as input to the code used to generate the ensemble assessment time series of ocean heat content (OHC) change and global thermal expansion (ThSL) that were developed for the IPCC AR6 WG1 report. The Python script used is called: compute_OHC_ThSL_ensemble_FGD_python3.py. The link to the code, archived on Zenodo, is provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record. The actual file used as input data to the code is in a non proprietary format (AR6_GOHC_GThSL_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20.mat) and is archived on Zenodo together with the code. The files archived here contain the same information but in a csv format. To run the code, you will need to edit the paths for plotdir, savedir and datadir based on your local directory structure. On running the code, the script creates two *.pickle files and corresponding *.csv files that contain the ensemble estimates of OHC and ThSL. It also generates four figure files that show the original input timeseries and the ensemble estimate, following the approach described by Palmer et al [2021]. Pre-processed individual ensemble member timeseries are available in *.csv format in the Supplementary Materials of Kuhlbrodt et al [in press]. Full citation: T. Kuhlbrodt, A.

The original file names were 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_&gt;2000m.csv' and 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_&gt;2000m_error.csv'. --------------------------------------------------- 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 9) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 9, which contains details on the input data used in Table 9.SM.9 - Link to the code for the figure, archived on Zenodo.
