Observation on data availability/gaps

The MAGICC emulations reflect the complex model response ranges for the assessed scenarios in the calibration datasets, in particular the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). MAGICC7 is run multiple times in order to obtain a probability distribution of outcomes such as global mean temperature, CO2 concentration, and total greenhouse gas concentration.
