Chapter 4 of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure 4.32 v20230531

Data for Figure 4.32 from Chapter 4 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 4.32 shows projected spatial patterns of change in annual average precipitation (expressed as a percentage change) at different levels of global warming. --------------------------------------------------- How to cite this dataset --------------------------------------------------- When citing this dataset, please include both the data citation below (under 'Citable as') and the following citation for the report component from which the figure originates: Lee, J.-Y., J.
