Description:

Data for Figure 9.15 from Chapter 9 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure 9.15 shows Antarctic sea ice historical records and CMIP6 projections. --------------------------------------------------- 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: Fox-Kemper, B., H.T.

First column: Mean sea ice coverage during the decade 1979‚Äì1988. Second column: Mean sea ice coverage during the decade 2010‚Äì2019. Third column: Absolute change in sea ice concentration between these two decades, with grid lines indicating non-significant differences. Fourth column: Number of available CMIP6 models that simulate a mean sea ice concentration above 15% for the decade 2045‚Äì2054. The average observational record of sea ice area is derived from the UHH sea ice area product (Doerr et al., 2021), based on the average sea ice concentration of OSISAF/CCI (OSI-450 for 1979‚Äì2015, OSI-430b for 2016‚Äì2019) (Lavergne et al., 2019), NASA Team (version 1, 1979‚Äì2019) (Cavalieri et al., 1996) and Bootstrap (version 3, 1979‚Äì2019) (Comiso, 2017) that is also used for the figure panels showing observed sea ice concentration. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 9.SM.9). --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to Figure 9.15 - Data file: NSIDC_polehole_big.nc - Data file: NSIDC_polehole_small.nc - Data file: SeaIceArea__NorthernHemisphere__monthly__UHH__v2019_fv0.01.nc - Data file: SeaIceArea__SouthernHemisphere__monthly__UHH__v2019_fv0.01.nc - Data file: cryo_div.txt - Data file: cryo_seq.txt Datafile 'mapplot_data.npz' included in the 'Plotted Data' folder of the GitHub repository is not archived here but on Zenodo at the link provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record.
