The figure has 8 panels labelled (a)-(h), with data provided for all panels using this lettering system in the GitHub repository linked in the documentation.

List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains:
- Mixed-layer depth in (a–d) winter and (e–h) summer (a, e).
- Observed climatological mean mixed-layer depth (based on density threshold) from the Argo Mixed Layer Depth Climatology (Holte et al., 2017) using observations for 2000–2019 (b, f).
- Bias between the observation-based estimate (2000–2019) and the 1995–2014 CMIP6 climatological mean mixed-layer depth (c, d, g, h) .
- Projected mixed-layer depth (MLD) change from 1995–2014 to 2081–2100 under (c, g) SSP1-2.6 and (d, h) SSP5-8.5 scenarios.
The (a–d) winter row shows December–January–February (DJF) in the Northern Hemisphere and June–July–August (JJA) in the Southern Hemisphere; the (e–h) summer row shows JJA in the Northern Hemisphere and DJF in the Southern Hemisphere. The mixed-layer depth is the depth where the potential density is 0.03 kg m–3 denser than at 10 m.
No overlay indicates regions with high model agreement, where ≥80% of models agree on the sign of change. Diagonal lines indicate regions with low model agreement, where <80% of models agree on the sign of change (see Cross-Chapter Box Atlas.1 for more information).
Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 9.SM.9).

CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
SSP stands for Shared Socioeconomic Pathway.
SSP585 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the upper boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP8.5.
SSP126 is the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway which represents the lower boundary of radiative forcing and development scenarios, consistent with RCP2.6.
