List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains all correlation pattern values displayed in the figure.
---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
fig_FAQ_3_3.nc:
- variable: 'cor' with two dimensions:
. 'vars': variables on the x-axis (same order as in the figure)
. 'models': name of each models (the attribute 'project' contains mapping to 'CMIP3', 'CMIP5' or 'CMIP6')
CMIP3 is the third phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
CMIP5 is the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data
---------------------------------------------------
Var 'cor' contains the values. Coordinate 'var' is the x-axis. Coordinate 'models' is the y-axis. The attribute 'project' of the coordinate 'models' contains as string chain the mapping to CMIP3 (cyan), CMIP5 (blue) and CMIP6 (red). The multi-model mean is not part of the dataset.

Process overview
| Title | Caption for FAQ 3.3, Figure 1 from Chapter 3 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) |
| Abstract | Pattern correlations between models and observations of three different variables: surface air temperature, precipitation and sea level pressure. Results are shown for the three most recent generations of models, from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP): CMIP3 (orange), CMIP5 (blue) and CMIP6 (purple). Individual model results are shown as short lines, along with the corresponding ensemble average (long line). For the correlations the yearly averages of the models are compared with the reference observations for the period 1980-1999, with 1 representing perfect similarity between the models and observations. CMIP3 simulations performed in 2004-2008 were assessed in the IPCC Fourth Assessment, CMIP5 simulations performed in 2011-2013 were assessed in the IPCC Fifth Assessment, and CMIP6 simulations performed in 2018-–2021 are assessed in this Report. |
