I'm thrilled to join Jana Sillmann s group Universität Hamburg in May! Looking forward to many new and exciting projects and collaborations 🥳

Huge thanks to Aiko Voigt and the whole team Universität Wien for a great time and all the things I could learn! Very sad to leave 🫶

Helping to educate a new generation of climate researchers and users, we provided students at Universität Wien access to the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC) - Austria's flagship . It was a pleasure to collaborate with you Lukas Brunner [email protected] Blaž Gasparini & Daria Tatsii! eurocc-austria.at/projekte/klima…

Finally, we also apply all five methods and the multi-method to real observations and use them to constrain projections of European temperature changes between 1995-2014 and 2041-2060 👇👇

In winter semester 2023 students at Universität Wien received access to the VSC to run the global climate model ICON. It was a pleasure to collaborate with the team of the modeling and course & EuroCC Austria again!

The idea is simple: provide each participating group with historical CMIP6 model runs, serving as pseudo-observations used to constrain CMIP5 projections.

The constrained distributions are then compared against the withheld 'truths' in the future.

Main takeaway: for summer temperature changes the methods are very consistent even though they base their constraints on quite diverse information.

Combining them into a multi-method constraint that can draw on all available information also shows quite some promise.

It was quite an effort to achieve a consistent comparison of five very different constraining methods using 125 (!!) pseudo-observational datasets.

Huge thanks to Chris O'Reilly Christopher O'Reilly for leading this!!🙏

See figure to get an idea of the amount of data involved.

For precipitation and in winter method skill is much more of a mixed bag with only few consistent skill improvements compared to the unconstrained case.

Constraining precipitation on a regional scale should therefore be treated with some caution. 👉rdcu.be/dFXv5

(How) can we show the skill of constraining future projections?

Model-as-truth tests have been used in the past but only for individual methods.

We develop an extensive & consistent testing framework and apply it to five (!) constraining methods.

Lukas Brunner [email protected] Nature Communications Thanks, this was helpful.

(Although I still didn't fully understand the root cause of the running bias, in particular why the seasonal cycle causes it. I have thought exactly as you write in the paper, that the warmer and colder values in the window cancel each other out.)

we can still (easily) distinguish random climate model output fields from observed climate fields using . But it gets increasingly harder for high-resolution simulations - the Turing test for climate models?
