List of CMIP5 GCMs that have been used to provide boundary conditions for the RCA4 runs presented here. Transient climate response (TCR) is defined as the immediate temperature change after a doubling of atmospheric CO₂ (Cubash et al., 2001). The rightmost column indicates which RCP scenarios that have been run (2 – RCP4.5 and 8.5, 3 – RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5).
