Chapter 3 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 3.23 (v20211001)

Data for Figure 3.23 from Chapter 3 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).

Figure 3.23 shows multi-model-mean bias of (a) sea surface temperature and (b) near-surface salinity, defined as the difference between the CMIP6 multi-model mean and the climatology from the World Ocean Atlas 2018.

List of data provided

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

This dataset contains:

- Global bias of modelled annual-mean sea surface temperature (°C) of CMIP6 for the period 1995–2014 to WOA 2018

- Global bias of modelled annual-mean sea surface salinity (PSS-76) of CMIP6 for the period 1995–2014 to WOA 2018

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

WOA 2018 is the World Ocean Atlas 2018.
