AbstractClimate change simulations based on climate models are inevitably uncertain. This uncertainty typically stems from parametric and structural uncertainties in climate models as well as climate forcings. However, combining model simulations with instrumental observations using appropriate statistical methods is an effective approach for describing this uncertainty. In this study, the authors applied Bayesian model averaging (BMA), a statistical postprocessing method, to an ensemble of climate model simulations from the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project phase 3 (PMIP3) and phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Uncertainties, weights, and variances of individual model simulations were estimated from a training period using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP–NCAR) reanalysis dataset. The results presented here demonstrate that the BMA method is successful and attains a positive performance in this study. ...
