@JosephBond @RaoOfPhysics Achintya will be able to shed some more light on this but are looking mainly at Fig. 6.19 at the moment because we have the data for it, and it’s reasonable size in a format we can read. Achintya is planning to identify a couple of paragraphs that reference this figure (or perhaps the data underlying the figure), for example p. 881 contains text like (some of which refer to Fig. 6.18, but they are still illustrative):
Global emissions of carbonaceous aerosols are projected to decline in all SSP scenarios (Figure 6.18) except SSP3‐7.0. In that scenario, which also has much higher emissions than any of the RCPs, about half of the anthropogenic BC originates from cooking and heating on solid fuels, mostly in Asia and Africa (Figure 6.19),
Here I’ve emphasised the “quantitative phrases” of the kind we could think about targeting:
Potentially we could think of strings like “Asia” and and “cooking and heating on solid fuels” as views of parameters which might also induce related things in other charts, etc.
Finally, we should probably pay attention to when these phrases are (implicitly) referring to the figures themselves (providing some kind of further summarisation) or to the underlying data. The former is a new use case for us, because so far all figures are outputs. But it doesn’t seem unreasonable that other downstream outputs might consume figures, taking a conclusion derived via a figure and doing something else with it.
@JosephBond Unfortunately the IPCC website is an ergonomic disaster, it’s quite to find the documents in question. Try https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1, under Full Report click on Downloads.
Some paragraphs/sentences that are relevant:
Paragraph or two referring either to the charts we intend to use for #38, or their underlying data.
