Despite substantial advances in climate modeling, the projections of future climate remain highly uncertain. We, therefore, require new techniques to systematically explore and quantify uncertainties in climate modeling, to understand model behavior, and to constrain future projections. I will describe my research at the UK Met Office and here at UMass that uses multi-model and perturbed parameter ensembles to produce reliable global as well as regional (northeastern U.S.) projections.
