title: Chapter 9 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 9.28 (v20220721)

description: Data for Figure 9.28 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 9.28 shows regional sea level change at 2100 for different scenarios (with respect to 1995–2014). --------------------------------------------------- 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.

The high uncertainty in projections around Alaska and the Aleutian Islands arises from the tectonic contribution to vertical land motion, which varies greatly over short distances in this region. 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 9.28 - Data file: Fig9-28a_data.nc - Data file: Fig9-28b_data.nc - Data file: Fig9-28c_data.nc - Data file: Fig9-28d_data.nc - Data file: Fig9-28e_data.nc - Data file: Fig9-28f_data.nc SSP119 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the lowest scenario of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP1.9. SSP126 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the lower boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP2.6. SSP245 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the median of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP4.5. SSP370 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the upper-middle range of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP6.0. 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 --------------------------------------------------- RSL scenarios were plotted using standard matplotlib software - code is available via the link in the documentation.
