List of data provided

---------------------------------------------------

This dataset contains:

- Global modelled annual-mean surface (2 m) air temperature (°C) of CMIP6 for the period 1995–2014

- Global bias of modelled annual-mean surface (2 m) air temperature (°C) of CMIP6 for the period 1995–2014 to reanalysis ERA5

- Global root mean square bias of modelled annual-mean surface (2 m) air temperature (°C) of CMIP6 for the period 1995–2014 to reanalysis ERA5

- Global bias of modelled annual-mean surface (2 m) air temperature (°C) of CMIP5 for the period 1985–2004 to reanalysis ERA5

CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

CMIP5 is the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate.
