Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data
---------------------------------------------------
The plotting code (CMIP6_global_2D_ann_O3_resp_at_diff_temp_thresholds.py) that is provided along with this dataset to reproduce the figure will firstly extract the annual mean surface ozone concentrations for all years for each model and scenario. Then it will extract the relevant 20 years worth of data for each scenario based on the pre-calculated year that model exceeded the relevant temperature threshold for each figure panel. A difference between the scenarios at this temperature threshold will be calculated for the particular model and then be used with the same data from all the models to create a multi-model mean difference that is used for each panel of the figure. Significance testing to applied to calculate where at least one model does not agree on the sign of the change between the two scenarios.

CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
SSP370 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the upper-middle range of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP6.0 and SST stands for Sea Surface Temperature.
ppb stands for parts per billion.

Abstract

Multi-model annual mean change in surface O3 (ppb) concentrations at different warming levels. Changes are shown for (a) 1.0°C, (b) 1.5°C, (c) 2.0°C and (d) 2.5°C increases in global mean surface air temperature. CMIP6 models include GFDL-ESM4, GISS-E2-1-G, MRI-ESM2-0 and UKESM1-0-LL. For each model, the change in surface O3 is calculated as the difference between two AerChemMIP experiments – one with evolving future emissions and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) under the SSP3-7.0 scenario and the other with the same setup but with fixed present-day SSTs. The difference is calculated as a 20-year mean in surface O3 around the year when the temperature threshold in each model is exceeded. The multi-model change in global annual mean surface O3 concentrations with ± 1 σ are shown within parentheses. Uncertainty is represented using the simple approach: no overlay indicates regions with high model agreement, three out of four models agree on sign of change; diagonal lines indicate regions with low model agreement, where three out of four models agree on sign of change. For more information on the simple approach, please refer to the Cross-Chapter Box Atlas.1. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 6.SM.3).
