List of data provided

---------------------------------------------------

This dataset contains all correlation pattern values displayed in the figure.

---------------------------------------------------

Data provided in relation to figure

---------------------------------------------------

fig_FAQ_3_3.nc:

- variable: 'cor' with two dimensions:

. 'vars': variables on the x-axis (same order as in the figure)

. 'models': name of each models (the attribute 'project' contains mapping to 'CMIP3', 'CMIP5' or 'CMIP6')

CMIP3 is the third phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

CMIP5 is the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data

---------------------------------------------------

Var 'cor' contains the values. Coordinate 'var' is the x-axis. Coordinate 'models' is the y-axis. The attribute 'project' of the coordinate 'models' contains as string chain the mapping to CMIP3 (cyan), CMIP5 (blue) and CMIP6 (red). The multi-model mean is not part of the dataset.
