Thirty two global climate models (GCMs)\nwere identified to meet the modeling requirements. From those, ten that closely\nsimulate California\u2019s climate were selected for additional analysis (<a href='https://www.energy.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2019-11/Projections_CCCA4-CEC-2018-006_ADA.pdf#page=11' rel='nofollow ugc'>Table\n1, Pierce et al. 2018</a>) and to form a ten model ensemble. From the ten model\nensemble, four models, forming a four model ensemble, were identified to\nprovide coverage of the range of potential climate outcomes in California.<span>\u00a0 </span>The models in the four model ensemble and\ntheir general climate projection for California are:</p>\n\n<p></p><ul><li>HadGEM2-ES (warm/dry),</li><li>CanESM2 (average), </li><li>CNRM-CM5 (cooler/wetter),</li><li>and MIROC5 the model least like the others to\nimprove coverage of the range of outcomes.</li></ul><p></p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>These data were downloaded from Cal-Adapt and prepared for\nuse within CA Nature by California Natural Resource Agency and ESRI staff. </p>\n\n\n<p>Cal-Adapt.
