   * **Ensemble** : refers to an article focused to the analysis of a series of experiments. The current literature sometimes //ensembles of opportunity//,​ that is, a series of experiments that have not been designed with the idea of being analysed //as en ensemble//, ​ as opposed to ensemble of experiments designed with a carefully chosen sampling scheme (latin hypercube etc. )   * **Ensemble** : refers to an article focused to the analysis of a series of experiments.

   * **Evaluation** : a fairly broad concept referring to the use of  model performance indicators, either presented as quantitative metrics, or yes/no pass tests, the main idea being that models which compare well with data for past climates may be more reliable for predicting future climate change. ​   * **Evaluation** : a fairly broad concept referring to the use of  model performance indicators, either presented as quantitative metrics, or yes/no pass tests, the main idea being that models which compare well with data for past climates may be more reliable for predicting future climate change. ​
