List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
Dataset contains modelled GSAT anomalies from MPI-ESM grand ensemble (1950-2019):
- On annual scale
- On decadal scale
- On multi-decadal scale
---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
- annual_gsat_anomalies_mpi_esm_grand_ens.csv has data for the left panel, GSAT anomalies from 1950 to 2019 from MPI-ESM grand ensemble (black, light green, light marsh green, light dark green lines)
- decadal_gsat_anomalies_mpi_esm_grand_ens.csv has data for the middle panel, GSAT anomalies from 1950 to 2019 from MPI-ESM grand ensemble (black, light green, light marsh green, light dark green lines)
- multi_decadal_gsat_anomalies_mpi_esm_grand_ens.csv has data for the right panel, GSAT anomalies from 1950 to 2019 from MPI-ESM grand ensemble (black, light green, light marsh green, light dark green lines)
GSAT stands for Global Surface Air Temperature.
MPI-ESM is a comprehensive Earth-System Model, consisting of component models for the ocean, the atmosphere and the land surface.

| Title | Caption for FAQ 3.2, 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 | Annual (left), decadal (middle) and multi-decadal (right) variations in average global surface temperature. The thick black line is an estimate of the human contribution to temperature changes, based on climate models, whereas the green lines show the combined effect of natural variations and human-induced warming, different shadings of green represent different simulations, which can be viewed as showing a range of potential pasts. The influence of natural variability is shown by the green bars, and it decreases with longer time scales. The data is sourced from the CESM1 large ensemble. |
