Robustness of pattern scaled climate change scenarios for adaptation decision support
... In the pattern scaling approach, the effect of external forcings is only taken into account through the global mean temperature response usually derived from a simple climate model that does not include any internal variability. Therefore by construction, the pattern scaled projections do not allow f ...
