Sentences with phrase «climate system properties»

My colleagues and I are continuing to explore sensitivities to choices made in estimating such PDFs of climate system properties given their importance in understanding potential risks of future climate change.

Three approaches were used to evaluate the outstanding «carbon budget» (the total amount of CO2 emissions compatible with a given global average warming) for 1.5 °C: re-assessing the evidence provided by complex Earth System Models, new experiments with an intermediate - complexity model, and evaluating the implications of current ranges of uncertainty in climate system properties using a simple model.

I refer to the 2006 GRL paper by Forest et al.: Estimated PDFs of climate system properties including natural and anthropogenic forcings, henceforth Forest 2006, available here, with the SI here.

Climate system properties that determine the response to external forcing have been estimated both from climate models and from analysis of past and recent climate change.
