Figure subpanels
---------------------------------------------------
The figure has several subplots, but they are unidentified, so the data is stored in the parent directory.

List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
This dataset contains Sea Ice Area anomalies over 1979-2017 relative to the 1979-2000 means from:
- Observations (OSISAF, NASA Team, and Bootstrap)
- Historical simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 multi-model means
- Natural only simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 multi-model means
---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
- *_arctic_* files are used for the plots on the left side of the figure
- *_antarctic_* files are used for the plots on the right side of the figure
- *_OBS_NASATeam* files are used for the first row of the plot
- *_OBS_Bootstrap* are used for the second row of the plot
- *_OBS_OSISAF* are used for the third row of the plot
- *_ALL_CMIP5* are used in the fourth row of the plot
- *_ALL_CMIP6* are used in the fifth row of the plot
- *_NAT_CMIP5* are used in the sixth row of the plot
- *_NAT_CMIP6* are used in the seventh row of the plot

Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data
---------------------------------------------------
The significance are for the grey dots, it's nan or 1 values. The data has to be overplotted to colored squares. Grey dots indicate multi-model mean anomalies stronger than inter-model spread (beyond ± 1 standard deviation).
The coordinates of the data are indices, but in global attributes 'comments' of each file there are relations of indices to months, since months are the y coordinate.
