  1. Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) and transient climate response (TCR) metrics from each associated Earth system global circulation model (GCM) as reported in Meehl et al. (2020)75. Both ECS and TCR are standard metrics of climate model sensitivity related to increased CO2 concentrations. These six models were chosen to capture GCM-projected climate variability as available in the most recent iteration of NEX-GDDP CMIP6 GCMs74,75,76. These six models also capture ECS and TCR variance from high to low75.
