Paper 2 of 2: Probabilistic #ML to predict peak warming under decarbonization: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Data‐Driven Predictions of Peak Warming Under Rapid Decarbonization

We train CNNs to predict peak global warming given the map of recent annual temperatures and total additional CO2 emissions Even if net-zero emissions are reached mid-century, mean warming is vir...

Our 2 new papers out today with colleagues Noah Diffenbaugh & @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social ! Our results highlight the power of #ML & transfer learning to combine #climate model projections with reanalyses to constrain future temperatures based on the current climate.
