Column 8: brown solid line VIII. Column 9: green solid line 20CRv3 is the NOAA-CIRES-DOE Twentieth Century Reanalysis Version 3. ERA5 is a reanalysis of the global climate from 1950 to present, developed by ECMWF. ERA20CM is a twentieth century atmospheric model ensemble developed by ECMWF. MERRA stands for Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications. CFSR stands for Climate Forecast System Reanalysis. ERA20C is the first atmospheric reanalysis of the 20th century, from 1900-2010, developed by ECMWF. JRA55 stands for Japanese 55-year Reanalysis. MERRA2 stands for Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, version 2. --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- Additional information to correctly reproduce the figure in the corresponding readme files for code archived on Zenodo (see the link to code provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record). --------------------------------------------------- Sources of additional information --------------------------------------------------- The following weblinks are provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record: - Link to the figure on the IPCC AR6 website - Link to the report component containing the figure (Chapter 2) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 2, which contains details on the input data used in Table 2.SM.1 - Link to the code for the figure, archived on Zenodo.
