Sea-level projections through the 21st century for RCP 4.5, RCP 8.5 and High-end (RCP 8.5 with increased ice-sheet contribution) scenarios by aggregating spatial projections of individual sea-level components constructed in a probabilistic manner.
More information on the projections is available in Jevrejeva, Jackson, Riva, Grinsted, & Moore (2016) and Jackson & Jevrejeva (2016).

How to use
Each zip file contains projections of sea-level change (metres) relative to 1986-2005. Global averages are provided in single files, while gridded data is provided in multiple files where each file covers one time slice. Files are tab-separated and a readme file (within each zip file) describes the content of each column.
