List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
For all the panels, the data provided consists of ensemble statistics (q5, median and q95) of the spatial averages over the IPCC AR6 regions of the list of indicators below for CMIP5, CMIP6 and CORDEX, for the recent past (1995-2014), the mid-term (2041-2060) and long-term (2081-2100) future horizons, as well as the +1.5, +2, and +4°C of global warming levels.
The list of indicators shown on the figure is:
- number of days per year with SWE > 100mm (North-America)
- number of days with the NOAA Heat Index exceeding 41°C (Central-America and Asia)
- the 100-yr return period stream flow (South-America, Europe, Africa)
- the number of days per year with Maximum temperature exceeding 35°C (Asia)
-  the Shoreline position change (Asia, Australasia)

SWE stands for snow water equivalent
NOAA stands for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

    - ${period}: the explicit period used to compute the temporal average: 1995-2014 (recent past), 2041-2060 (mid-term) and 2081-2099 (long term)
    - ${CORDEX_domain}: the CORDEX domain
** 'Q100_${ensemble}/${GWL}_${CORDEX_domain}.txt' : files containing the Q100 regional averages of global warming levels with:

The Shoreline position change for EAS and RFE (upper middle right) (related to figure 12.6(d)), and in Australasia (lower right) (related to figure 12.7(d)) have corresponding data file names:
** 'globalErosionProjections_by_AR6_region_${scenario}_${horizon).json' : regional averages of shoreline position changes for Africa, for the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios (${scenario} = RCP45 and ${scenario} = RCP85 respectively) and the 2050 (mid-term, in blue) and 2100 (long-term, in red) future horizons (${horizon}=2050 and ${horizon}=2100 respectively) against the recent past period (2010); the file contains the median (dots in the subpanels) and the 5th (q5) and 95th (q95) uncertainty estimates (used to plot the vertical bars)
