Figure A1. Matrix overview of projected climate data available
via NA-CORDEX (adapted from https://na-cordex.org/simulation-matrix.html)
and projections selected for this analysis (blue). Regional climate
models (RCMs) are arranged as columns, and the global circulation models
(GCMs) used to define the boundary conditions for each RCM run are
arranged as rows. The columns at right define the representative
concentration pathway (RCP), i.e., the greenhouse gas emissions scenario
assumed for each model run, as well as the equilibrium climate
sensitivity (ECS), a metric of relative severity of projected change
suggested by each model.
