IPCC AR6 WGI Relative Sea Level Projection Distributions without Background Component

This data set contains detailed elements the sea level projections associated with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report. In particular, it contains relative sea level projections that exclude the background term (representing primarily land subsidence or uplift). It includes probability distributions for all the workflows described in AR6 WGI 9.6.3.2. P-boxes derived from these distributions are available in the sister entry 'IPCC-DDC_AR6_Sup_PBox

These data may be of use for users who want to substitute their own estimates of the background term. Regional projections can also be accessed through the NASA/IPCC Sea Level Projections Tool at https://sealevel.nasa.gov/ipcc-ar6-sea-level-projection-tool . See https://zenodo.org/communities/ipcc-ar6-sea-level-projections for additional related data sets.

Hierarchy level: collection

Attribute description: sea_level_change

Descriptor: The level of sea level change since the AR6 reference period. Values have units of millimeters. Values of -32768 should be

considered missing data.; unit: mm

Attribute description: sea_level_change_rate

Descriptor: The rate of sea level change. Rates are 10-

year average rates with units of millimeters

per year. These are stored in the netCDF file as tenths of a millimeter per year with a

scale factor of 0.1 which is generally

automatically applied when reading in the data. Rates of -3276.8 should be considered

missing data.; unit: mm yr-1
