Chapter 3 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 3.21 (v20220613)

Data for Figure 3.21 from Chapter 3 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).



Figure 3.21 shows the seasonal evolution of observed and simulated Arctic and Antarctic sea ice area (SIA) over 1979-2017.

Figure subpanels

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

The figure has several subplots, but they are unidentified, so the data is stored in the parent directory.



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

List of data provided

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

This dataset contains Sea Ice Area anomalies over 1979-2017 relative to the 1979-2000 means from:

- Observations (OSISAF, NASA Team, and Bootstrap)

- Historical simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 multi-model means

- Natural only simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 multi-model means



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

Data provided in relation to figure

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

- *_arctic_* files are used for the plots on the left side of the figure

- *_antarctic_* files are used for the plots on the right side of the figure

- *_OBS_NASATeam* files are used for the first row of the plot

- *_OBS_Bootstrap* are used for the second row of the plot

- *_OBS_OSISAF* are used for the third row of the plot

- *_ALL_CMIP5* are used in the fourth row of the plot

- *_ALL_CMIP6* are used in the fifth row of the plot

- *_NAT_CMIP5* are used in the sixth row of the plot

- *_NAT_CMIP6* are used in the seventh row of the plot



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

Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data

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

The significance are for the grey dots, it's nan or 1 values. The data has to be overplotted to colored squares. Grey dots indicate multi-model mean anomalies stronger than inter-model spread (beyond ± 1 standard deviation).



The coordinates of the data are indices, but in global attributes 'comments' of each file there are relations of indices to months, since months are the y coordinate.
