Figure subpanels

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

The figure technically has three panels, but they are not labelled. So the datasets are stored just in the main figure folder. 

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

List of data provided

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

Dataset contains modelled GSAT anomalies from MPI-ESM grand ensemble (1950-2019):

- On annual scale

- On decadal scale

- On multi-decadal scale

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

Data provided in relation to figure

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

- annual_gsat_anomalies_mpi_esm_grand_ens.csv has data for the left panel, GSAT anomalies from 1950 to 2019 from MPI-ESM grand ensemble (black, light green, light marsh green, light dark green lines)

- decadal_gsat_anomalies_mpi_esm_grand_ens.csv  has data for the middle panel, GSAT anomalies from 1950 to 2019 from MPI-ESM grand ensemble  (black, light green, light marsh green, light dark green lines)

- multi_decadal_gsat_anomalies_mpi_esm_grand_ens.csv has data for the right panel, GSAT anomalies from 1950 to 2019 from MPI-ESM grand ensemble  (black, light green, light marsh green, light dark green lines)

GSAT stands for Global Surface Air Temperature.

MPI-ESM is a comprehensive Earth-System Model, consisting of component models for the ocean, the atmosphere and the land surface.
