Summary
These data sets contain the sea level projections associated with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report offering the full set of samples for the global projections (see IPCC AR6 WGI Sea Level Projections global) as well as summary relative sea level projections (see IPCC AR6 WGI Sea Level Projections regional) and, without the AR6 estimate of background sea level process rates (see IPCC AR6 WGI Sea Level Projections regional novlm). The confidence output files correspond most directly to the figures and tables in the report.
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.
The IPCC AR6 sea level change projection files are provided in a simplified format but represent a more complicated workflow involving combinations of multiple lines of evidence for the various individual contributors to sea level change. We highly recommend using the data as provided in these confidence output files to remain consistent with the assessment in IPCC AR6 Chapter 9.

Accuracy report
As far as data quality is concerned, the confidence-level files were created to minimize potential misuse. These projections are centered 19-year averages and thus do not contain inter-annual or seasonal variability in sea-level change.
