GCMresultat
GCMresultat is a term used in climate science to denote the output produced by a Global Climate Model (GCM) simulation. In languages such as Danish, Norwegian, or Swedish, the compound “GCMresultat” refers to the model’s projected climate state under a defined scenario. A GCMresultat typically comprises spatially distributed fields of climate variables—such as surface temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and sea level pressure—as well as derived indicators like extreme weather indices and regional climate patterns. Projections are usually produced for future periods, for example the mid- to late 21st century, under specified emission or socio-economic scenarios (such as RCPs and, in newer studies, SSPs).
GCMresultat often originates from multi-model ensembles (for example CMIP6) to capture the range of possible outcomes
Interpretation of a GCMresultat requires consideration of uncertainties. These arise from model structure and parameterizations, the
