dc.description.abstractThis report outlines a method for selecting a subset of earth system models (ESMs) from the Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) that is sufficiently representative of an ensemble of 26 models from CMIP6 for Canada and its subregions. The specific objective is to obtain a subset of reasonably independent ESMs that captures the overall range of projected change in a representative set of climate extremes (ETCCDI or Climdex) indices constructed from the ESM outputs. Projections are calculated for a future epoch corresponding to a global mean temperature change of 2 ℃ relative to 1971-2000, using results from two of the CMIP6 Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5. The selection procedure is described below and representative subsets are provided for Canada and five of its subregions.
