Biased Estimates of Changes in Climate Extremes From Prescribed SST Simulations

Abstract Large climate model ensembles are widely used to quantify changes in climate extremes. Here we demonstrate that model‐based estimates of changes in the probability of temperature extremes at 1.5 °C global warming regionally differ if quantified using prescribed sea surface temperatures (SST...
