open access: yesJournal of Climate, 2018
AbstractWhen comparing climate models to observations, it is often observed that the mean over many models has smaller errors than most or all of the individual models. This paper will show that a general consequence of the nonintuitive geometric properties of high-dimensional spaces is that the ensemble mean often outperforms the individual ensemble ...
