This paper quantifies the potential benefit of limiting the global warming to 1.5 C above the preindustrial level on the high-latitude climate of the Southern Hemisphere compared to 2.0 C and above. A set of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 global climate model experiments is used in or...
