Title: Reducing Uncertainty Surrounding Climate Change Using Emergent Constraints
Abstract: Many aspects of future climate change remain highly uncertain as different climate models can exhibit large and persistent spreads in their projections. This uncertainty stems from a variety of sources including natural variability, differing emissions pathways, and differences in how models represent key physical processes. Efforts to reduce uncertainty in climate change projections primarily focus on the latter. A popular approach for…
