In making citations to the IPCC’s assessment reports, rather than using the cumbersome and confusing practice of the (Author Date) system, all of my citations are of the form IPCC, AR5, WG1, 11.1, p. 959 (unless a page number is not appropriate). This example refers to Chapter 11 of Working Group 1’s contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), section 11.1, page 959. This makes finding the relevant section on the IPCC’s webpage much easier.
The three IPCC assessment reports that are cited in this volume are:
1) IPCC Third Assessment Report: Climate Change 2001 (TAR)
2) IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007 (AR4)
3) IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)
Almost all citations to any of the above are to the reports of “Working Group 1” which refer, respectively to
1) Working Group I: The Scientific Basis (for TAR)
2) Working Group I Report: “The Physical Science Basis” (for AR4)
3) Working Group I Report: “Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis” (for AR5)
