Confronting Earth System Model Trends with Observations workshop report is published

The Confronting Earth System Model Trends with Observations workshop report explores the representation of historical trends in Earth System Models used for future climate projections. The report details how well models capture recent trends and areas in need of improvement, taking into consideration both scientific and methodological questions. While many recent trends are well understood, the report discusses how work remains especially in understanding aspects of the climate system's long-term evolution, representing processes in models, and accurately observing and monitoring evolving changes in the Earth system.
