Climate sensitivity indices and their relation with projected temperature change in CMIP6 models

Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) and transient climate response (TCR) are both measures of the sensitivity of the climate system to external forcing, in terms of temperature response to CO _2 doubling. Here it is shown that, of the two, TCR in current-generation coupled climate models is better...
