title: Chapter 3 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 3.30 (v20220614)

description: Data for Figure 3.30 from Chapter 3 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 3.30 shows observed and CMIP6 simulated AMOC mean state, variability and long-term trends. --------------------------------------------------- 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: Eyring, V., N.P.
