List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
a) Global projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change in DJF seasonal mean zonal-mean zonal wind in 2081-2100 relative to 1995-2014 in SSP1‑2.6
b) Global projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change in JJA seasonal mean zonal-mean zonal wind in 2081-2100 relative to 1995-2014 in SSP1‑2.6
c) Global projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change in DJF seasonal mean zonal-mean zonal wind in 2081-2100 relative to 1995-2014 in SSP3‑7.0
d) Global projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change in JJA seasonal mean zonal-mean zonal wind in 2081-2100 relative to 1995-2014 in SSP3‑7.0

Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
Data file Data_shown_in_figure_panels_a_and_b.nc (panels a and b) includes the multi-model mean zonal mean zonal wind as a function of latitude and pressure level for SSP1-2.6
Data file Data_shown_in_figure_panels_c_and_d.nc (panels c and d) includes the multi-model mean zonal mean zonal wind as a function of latitude and pressure level for SSP3-7.0

DJF stands for December, January, February.
JJA stands for June, July, August.
SSP1-2.6 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1 with low climate change mitigation and adaptation challenges and RCP2.6, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 in the year 2100.
SSP3-7.0 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP3 which is characterized by high challenges to both mitigation and adaptation and RCP7.0, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 7.0 W/m2 in the year 2100.

Abstract

Long-term change of zonal-mean, zonal wind. Displayed are multi-model mean changes in (left) boreal winter (December–January–February, DJF) and (right) austral winter (June–July–August, JJA) zonal mean, zonal wind (m s–1) in 2081–2100 for (top) SSP1-2.6 and (right) SSP3-7.0 relative to 1995–2014. The 1995–2014 climatology is shown in contours with spacing 10 m s–1. Diagonal lines indicate regions where less than 80% of the models agree on the sign of the change and no overlay where at least 80% of the models agree on the sign of the change. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 4.SM.1).
