DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075742
Abstract: Transient climate response (TCR), transient response at 140 years (T140) and equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) indices are intended as benchmarks for comparing the magnitude of climate response projected by climate models. It is generally assumed… read more here.

Reducing Uncertainties in Climate Projections with Emergent Constraints: Concepts, Examples and Prospects
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Advances in Atmospheric Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s00376-019-9140-8
Abstract: Models disagree on a significant number of responses to climate change, such as climate feedback, regional changes, or the strength of equilibrium climate sensitivity. Emergent constraints aim to reduce these uncertainties by finding links between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018ef000889
Abstract: The Earth’s climate sensitivity to radiative forcing remains a key source of uncertainty in future warming projections. There is a growing realization in recent literature that research must go beyond an equilibrium and CO2-only viewpoint,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018gl078887
Abstract: Eight atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) are forced with observed historical (1871–2010) monthly sea surface temperature and sea ice variations using the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project II data set. The AGCMs therefore have a similar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl083898
Abstract: The methods to quantify equilibrium climate sensitivity are still debated. We collect millennial‐length simulations of coupled climate models and show that the global mean equilibrium warming is higher than those obtained using extrapolation methods from… read more here.
