This dataset contains:

- Historical, SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 Global Surface Air Temperature (GSAT) anomalies relative to 1850-1900 (20 year means)

- Historical, SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 September sea-ice area

- Historical, SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 Global ocean surface pH

- Historical sea level relative to 1900 from gauges (to 1992) and altimeters (1993 on) (offset 0.158 m vs. 1995-2014)

- AR6 sea level projections relative to 1900 (offset 0.158 m vs. 1995-2014)

- AR6 assessed global mean sea level at 2300 relative to 1900 (offset 0.158 m vs. 1995-2014)

The five illustrative SSP (Shared Socio-economic Pathway) scenarios are described in Box SPM.1 of the Summary for Policymakers and Section 1.6.1.1 of Chapter 1.
