Abstract: The equilibrium climate sensitivity, that is, the global‐mean surface‐air temperature change in response to a doubling of the carbon dioxide concentration is a widely used metric in climate change studies. Its exact value is rarely… 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.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089609
Abstract: Recent explorations of the state‐dependence of Earth’s equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) have revealed a pronounced peak in ECS at a surface temperature of ∼310 K. This ECS peak has been observed in models spanning the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aba1981
Abstract: A historical context is provided for interpreting the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) and transient climate response (TCR). For the current generation of earth system models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6),… read more here.
