Description:
Data for Figure 6.21 from Chapter 6 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
Figure 6.21 shows future changes in regional five-year mean surface PM2.5 from 2015 to 2100 in different shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs).

Figure subpanels
---------------------------------------------------
The figure has 11 panels with data provided for all panels in three files placed in the main directory.
---------------------------------------------------
List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains precomputed values of surface PM2.5 concentrations across world regions for:
- A 10-year mean period (2005 to 2014) from the historical simulation to represent present day regional mean values. Regional multi-model annual mean and standard deviation values are calculated across 5 different CMIP6 models
- Annual 5-year multi-model mean values of surface PM2.5 from 5 different CMIP6 models projected for 7 different future scenarios covering the period 2015 to 2100
- Standard deviation values of surface PM2.5 from 5 different CMIP6 models projected for 7 different future scenarios covering 5-year mean periods from 2015 to 2100
CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter air pollution with diameter of less than 2.5 microns.
SSP stands for Shared Socioeconomic Pathway.

Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
All the data files provided are used to create the time series plots for each region. The numbers in each panel for each region are obtained from 'Surf_PM2pt5_data_05_14_mean_for_IPCC_figure_V1_5mods.csv', with the time series line for each scenario from 'Surf_PM2pt5_data_fut_mean_for_IPCC_figure_V1_5mods.csv' and the shading obtained by using the values in 'Surf_PM2pt5_SD_data_fut_mean_for_IPCC_figure_V1_5mods.csv'.
---------------------------------------------------
Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data
---------------------------------------------------
The plotting code that is provided along with this dataset should just be able to read in each of the precomputed regional mean .csv files and then reproduce the time series figures.
