The information below provides foundations to help understand the DOS AND DON'TS. This includes a synthesis of earlier guiding documents, a short description of key uncertainities studies are designed to consider, and the full citation of references used. These foundations are referred to throughout the DOS and DON'TS and provide important additional information for those interested in diving deeper.
 
The Table above is based on Table 1 in Vano et al. (Climate Services, 2018) and referred to as Table 1 throughout this site. Complete citations are included in references below.
1. Human choices: future emissions
2. Physical process representations: global climate system response
3. Natural variability: realizations of the global climate system
4. Physical process representations: spanning space and time
5. Physical process representations: local hydrology
6. Human choices: managed systems
Details on each uncertainty will be included in version 2.0...
