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.
