This issue is not really an issue, but here for documentation. So you can object if needed.
As I am reviewing existing code, I see the GMT in ISIMIP GCMs is adjusted for observed temperature, i.e.
GMT - GMT[baseline].mean() + observed_baseline
, e.g. 0.86 for 1995-2014 or 0.63 for 1986-2005. This means we actually use "Warming above baseline" rather than "Warming above pre-industrial". This has the advantage that when running the emulator with well-calibrated temperature, a value in 2030 will resemble the input GCM values in 2030. I added the following description in theget_matching_years_by_time_bucket
docstring.I just wanted to make that clear @NiklasSchwind, @cschleussner. I don't have a strong feeling for this. In case you do, please comment here.
