title: Chapter 9 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 9.26 (v20220721)

description: Data for Figure 9.26 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 9.26 shows median global mean and regional relative sea level projections (m) by contribution for the SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 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.

SSP stands for Shared Socioeconomic Pathway. SSP126 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the lower boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP2.6. SSP585 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the upper boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP8.5. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Contribution maps and timeseries were plotted using standard matplotlib software - code is available via the link in the documentation. --------------------------------------------------- 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 data and code used to produce this figure and others in Chapter 9, archived on Zenodo. - Link to the output data for this figure, contained in a dedicated GitHub repository.
