Climate model emulators have a crucial role in assessing warming levels of many emission scenarios from probabilistic climate projections, based on new insights into Earth system response to CO₂ and other forcing factors. This presentation describes one such tool, MCE, from model formulation to application examples associated with a recent model intercomparison study. The MCE is based on impulse response functions and parameterized physics of effective radiative forcing and carbon uptake over ocean and land. Perturbed model parameters for probabilistic projections are generated from statistical models and constrained with a Metropolis-Hastings independence sampler. A part of the model parameters associated with CO₂-induced warming have a covariance structure, as diagnosed from complex climate models of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Although perturbed ensembles can cover the diversity of CMIP models effectively, they need to be constrained toward substantially lower climate sensitivity for the resulting historical warming to agree with the observed trends over recent decades. The model's simplicity and resulting successful calibration imply that a method with less complicated structures and fewer control parameters offers advantages when building reasonable perturbed ensembles in a transparent way. Experimental results for future scenarios, including forcing perturbations, show distinct differences between CMIP- and observation-consistent ensembles, suggesting that perturbed ensembles for scenario assessment need to be properly constrained with new insights into forced response over historical periods.
