Chapter 12 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 12.SM.6 (v20220808)
Abstract
Data for Figure 12.SM.6 from Chapter 12 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
Figure 12.SM.6 shows regional projections of extreme sea level (1-in-100 year return period extreme total water level).

Figure subpanels
---------------------------------------------------
This figure has 39 subpanels (AR6 regions).
---------------------------------------------------
List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains:
- regional averages over 43 AR6 regions of the changes in mean wind speed in percentage of the recent past value (median value and the 10th-90th percentile range of model ensemble values across each model ensemble) over land areas for the WGI reference AR6 regions (defined in Chapter 1) for:
- CMIP6 historical, ssp126 and ssp585
- CMIP5 and CORDEX historical, RCP2.6 and RCP8.5
- for the ‘recent past’ (1995-2014), mid-term (2041-2060) and long-term (2081-2100) time periods
- and for three global warming levels (defined relative to the preindustrial period 1850-1900): 1.5°C, 2°C and 4°C

---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to Figure 12.SM.6
The regional averages for all the subpanels (AR6 regions) are stored in four json files (Vousdoukas et al 2018 dataset) and one csv file (Kiresci et al 2020:
- Vousdoukas_ETWL_by_AR6_region_${scenario}_${horizon}.json: contains the regional averages (median and 5th/95th percentiles uncertainty range) for the Vousdoukas et al 2018 dataset for the horizon ${horizon} (2050 or 2100) and the scenario ${scenario} (RCP45 or RCP85)
- Vousdoukas_ETWL_by_AR6_region_modern.json contains the regional averages for the recent past period (median and 5th/95th percentiles uncertainty range) for the Vousdoukas et al 2018 dataset
- Kirezci_ESL.csv contains the regional averages of the Kirezci et al (2020) dataset for future horizons and recent past (median and 5th/95th percentiles uncertainty range)
CMIP5 is the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
CORDEX is The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment from the WCRP.
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.
RCP2.6 is the Representative Concentration Pathway for 2.6 Wm-2 global warming by 2100.
RCP8.5 is the Representative Concentration Pathway for 8.5 Wm-2 global warming by 2100.

| Title | Caption for Figure 12.SM.6 from Chapter 12 Supplementary Material of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) |
| Abstract | Regional projections of extreme sea level (1-in-100-year return period Extreme Total Water Level (ETWL). The bar plots show projections of regionally averaged ETWL from the CMIP5-based datasets presented in Vousdoukas et al. (2018b; filled circles, ‘V’ in legend), and Kirezci et al. (2020; open circles, ‘K’ in legend), for the AR6 WGI Reference Regions, for RCP8.5 (red) and RCP4.5 (blue). Dots represent the median estimate and bars the 5th–95th percentiles representing the uncertainty associated with the projections for the mid-term (2050), long term (2100) and the recent past (black, 1979/1980–2014). Units are metres. See Technical Annex VI for details about the index. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 12.SM.1). |
