Effective Climate Sensitivity

Effective Climate Sensitivity is a climate system metric that quantifies the equilibrium global mean surface temperature response to a doubling of atmospheric CO₂ concentration, derived from transient model simulations or observational data over a specific time horizon, distinguishing it from the idealized equilibrium climate sensitivity by accounting for evolving climate feedbacks and ocean heat uptake dynamics.
