List of data provided

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

This data set contains:

- Observed warming (2010-2019 relative to 1850-1900)

- Aggregated contributions to 2010-2019 warming relative 1850 -1900, assessed from attribution studies

- Contributions to 2010-2019 warming relative to 1850-1900, assessed from radiative studies

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

Data provided in relation to figure

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

Panel a:

- Data file: panel_a/SPM2a.csv (Observed warming). Mean value is used for the bar plot and top and bottom values are used for the error bars and they represent borders of the very likely range.

Panel b:

- Data file: panel_b/SPM2b.csv (Aggregated contributions assessed from attribution studies). Mean values are used for the bar plot and top and bottom values are used for the error bars and represent the borders of the very likely range

Panel c:

- Data file: panel_c/SPM2c_data.csv (Contributions assessed from radiative studies). Total global surface air temperature (GSAT) effect values are used for the bar plots and 5% and 95% very likely limit values are used for the error bars.
