Description:
Data for Figure 8.25 from Chapter 8 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
Figure 8.25 shows the effect of first versus second 2¬?C of global warming relative to 1850-1900 on seasonal mean precipitation.

Figure subpanels

The figure has multiple panels. Data is provided in panel-specific sub-directories.

List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains CMIP6 multi-model ensemble mean December–January–February (left panels) and June–July–August (right panels) precipitation difference for:
- SSP5-8.5 scenario at +2¬?C
- SSP5-8.5 scenario at +4¬?C minus SSP5-8.5 at +2¬?C (second 2¬?C warming)
- Second minus first 2¬?C fast warming.
---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
There are two NetCDF files per panel :
  - one for the main field, which is represented with colors and has 'rchange' or 'rmeans' in the filename
  - the other for the confidence information, based on fraction of models which agree about signal change sign, which is represented in figures by diagonal lines as specified by the so called AR6 simple hatching scheme; it has 'agreement' or 'slashes' in the filename
Each datafile has NetCDF attributes which clearly describe the data.
CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
SSP585 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the upper boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP8.5.
