RIME-X v1.0: combining simple climate models, Earth system models, and climate impact models into a unified statistical emulator for regional climate indicators

30 July 2026

The authors study how regional climate and climate impact indicators may respond to different emissions scenarios. Their possible outcomes are shaped by uncertainties in future emissions, global warming, regional effects of global warming, and the chaotic climate system. The authors introduce RIME-X (Rapid Impact Model Emulator Extended), an emulator that combines multiple tools and datasets to estimate probabilistically how any emissions path may influence regional outcomes.
