TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the design of the half a degree additional warming, projections, prognosis and impacts (HAPPI) experiment, which provides a framework for the generation of climate data describing how the climate, and in particular extreme weather, might differ from the present day in worlds that are 1.5 and 2.0 degrees warmer than pre-industrial conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach of coordinated global and regional climate modeling is presented, which is applied to the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis Regional Climate Model (CanRCM4) and its parent global climate model CanESM2.

TL;DR: This article presented the first results from the Precipitation Driver and Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP), where nine global climate models have perturbed CO2, CH4, black carbon, sulfate, and solar insolation.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage post-processing technique was used to adjust the variance of the ensemble-mean North Atlantic Oscillation forecast to match the observed variance of a predictable signal.

TL;DR: The authors investigate the climate response to increased concentrations of black carbon (BC), as part of the Precipitation Driver Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP), and find that this substantial increase in BC concentrations does have considerable impacts on important aspects of the climate system.
