Dietmar Dommenget from MWAC has studied the role of control climate SST climatologies for the climate sensitivity of coupled general circulation models to a doubling of CO2 concentrations. The remarkable finding of this study is that the variation in the SST climatologies similar to those found in state of the art coupled general circulation models contribute significantly to the climate sensitivity uncertainty in these model ensembles.
