Short summary
We present a methodological framework for the analysis of climate model uncertainty based on the functional data analysis approach, an emerging statistical field. The novel method investigates the multi-model spread, taking into account the behavior of entire simulated climatic time series, encompassing both past and future periods. We also introduce an innovative way of visualizing climate model similarities based on a network spatialization algorithm that enables an unambiguous interpretation.
