The assessed range in this Report (AR6) is also shown. - (right) Climate projections of CMIP5, CMIP6 and AR6 for the very high-emissions scenarios RCP8.5, and SSP5-8.5, respectively. The thick horizontal lines represent the multi-model average and the thin horizontal lines represent the results of individual models. The boxes represent the model ranges for CMIP5 and CMIP6 and the range assessed in AR6. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to FAQ 7.3 Figure 1. - Data file: ecs_for_faq.csv - Data file: tcr_for_faq.csv - Data files: CMIP5_means/dtas_"+model+".nc - Data files: CMIP5_means/tas_"+model+"_rcp85.nc - Data files: CMIP5_means/tas_"+model+"_piControl.nc - Data files: CMIP6_means/dtas_"+model+".nc - Data files: CMIP6_means/tas_"+model+"_ssp585.nc - Data files: CMIP6_means/tas_"+model+"_piControl.nc Models to be substituted in file names where +model+ exists: - ACCESS-CM2 - ACCESS-ESM1-5 - AWI-CM-1-1-MR - BCC-CSM2-MR - CAMS-CSM1-0 - CESM2-WACCM - CESM2 - CIESM - CMCC-CM2-SR5 - CNRM-CM6-1-HR - CNRM-CM6-1 - CNRM-ESM2-1 - CanESM5 - EC-Earth3-Veg - FGOALS-f3-L - FGOALS-g3 - FIO-ESM-2-0 - GISS-E2-1-G - HadGEM3-GC31-LL - HadGEM3-GC31-MM - IITM-ESM - INM-CM4-8 - INM-CM5-0 - IPSL-CM6A-LR - KACE-1-0-G - MCM-UA-1-0 - MIROC-ES2L - MIROC6 - MPI-ESM1-2-HR - MPI-ESM1-2-LR - MRI-ESM2-0 - NESM3 - NorESM2-LM - NorESM2-MM - TaiESM1 - UKESM1-0-LL This means the _ssp585.nc and _piControl.nc files have 36 versions each, for both CMIP5 and CMIP6 (a total of 144 netCDF files).
