Theoretical foundations of emergent constraints: relationships between climate sensitivity and global temperature variability in conceptual models
Mark S. Williamson, Peter M. Cox, Femke J. M. M. Nijsse
There is as yet no theoretical framework to guide the search for emergent constraints. As a result, there are significant risks that indiscriminate data-mining of the multidimensio…
