Abstract
Input Data for CCB 9.1, Figure 1 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
Cross Chapter Box 9.1, Figure 1 shows observed and simulated regional probability ratio of marine heatwaves (MHWs) for the 1985-2014 period and for the end of the 21st century under two different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios.

The figure has two panels with input data provided for all panels in the main directory.
---------------------------------------------------
List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
Pre-processed annual timeseries of global ocean heat content change (ZJ) and global thermal expansion (mm) for the period 1870 to 2020.
Timeseries are global integrals over the following vertical layers: 0-300 m; 0-700 m; 0-2000 m; 700-2000 m; > 2000 m; Full-depth.
---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
Panel a: global ocean heat content change (ZJ) for the layers 0-700 m, 700-2000 m and > 2000 m are represented by the blue shaded regions as indicated in the figure legend.
Panel b: global thermal expansion (mm) for the layers 0-700 m, 700-2000 m and > 2000 m are represented by the blue shaded regions as indicated in the figure legend.
For files 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_more_than_2000m.csv' and 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_more_than_2000m_error.csv', 'more_than' has replaced '>' from the original filenames for archival.

Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data
---------------------------------------------------
These files contain the data used as input to the code used to generate the ensemble assessment time series of ocean heat content (OHC) change and global thermal expansion (ThSL) that were developed for the IPCC AR6 WG1 report.
The Python script used is called: compute_OHC_ThSL_ensemble_FGD_python3.py. The link to the code, archived on Zenodo, is provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record.
The actual file used as input data to the code is in a non proprietary format (AR6_GOHC_GThSL_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20.mat) and is archived on Zenodo together with the code. The files archived here contain the same information but in a csv format.
To run the code, you will need to edit the paths for plotdir, savedir and datadir based on your local directory structure.
On running the code, the script creates two *.pickle files and corresponding *.csv files that contain the ensemble estimates of OHC and ThSL. It also generates four figure files that show the original input timeseries and the ensemble estimate, following the approach described by Palmer et al [2021].
Pre-processed individual ensemble member timeseries are available in *.csv format in the Supplementary Materials of Kuhlbrodt et al [in press]. Full citation: T. Kuhlbrodt, A. Voldoire, M.D. Palmer, O. Geoffroy and R.E. Killick “Historical ocean heat uptake in two pairs of CMIP6 models: global and regional perspectives”, Journal of Climate, in press.
Please note that for the files 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_more_than_2000m.csv' and 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_more_than_2000m_error.csv' CEDA staff were required to change the filenames in order to align with archive naming conventions. The original file names were 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_>2000m.csv' and 'AR6_OHC_timeseries_MDP_2021-01-20_>2000m_error.csv'.

| Title | Caption for CCB 9.1, Figure 1 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) |
| Abstract | Global Energy Inventory and Sea Level Budget. (a) Observed changes in the global energy inventory for 1971–2018 (shaded time series) with component contributions as indicated in the figure legend. Earth System Heating for the whole period and associated uncertainty is indicated to the right of the plot (red bar = central estimate; shading =very likely range); (b) Observed changes in components of global mean sea level for 1971–2018 (shaded time series) as indicated in the figure legend. Observed global mean sea level change from tide gauge reconstructions (1971–1993) and satellite altimeter measurements (1993–2018) is shown for comparison (dashed line) as a three-year running mean to reduce sampling noise. Closure of the global sea level budget for the whole period is indicated to the right of the plot (red bar = component sum central estimate; red shading =very likely range; black bar = total sea level central estimate; grey shading =very likely range). Full details of the datasets and methods used are available in Annex I. Further details on energy and sea level components are reported in Table 7.1 and Table 9.5. |
