[HTML][HTML] Emergent constraints on transient climate response (TCR) and equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) from historical warming in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models

FJMM Nijsse, PM Cox, MS Williamson - Earth System Dynamics, 2020 - esd.copernicus.org
Climate sensitivity to CO 2 remains the key uncertainty in projections of future climate

Intermodel spread in the pattern effect and its contribution to climate sensitivity in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models

Y Dong, KC Armour, MD Zelinka… - Journal of …, 2020 - journals.ametsoc.org
Radiative feedbacks depend on the spatial patterns of sea surface temperature (SST) and
thus can change over time as SST patterns evolve—the so-called pattern effect. This study …
