Short summary
We explore an alternative framework for constructing multi-model ensembles by formulating ensemble combination as a barycenter problem. We compare the L2 barycenter (equivalent to pooling) with the Wasserstein barycenter (more precisely its Gaussian approximation). Both have the same ensemble mean but differ in how they represent forecasts uncertainty. In terms of Continuous Ranked Probability Score, the Wasserstein barycenter outperforms more often while performing similarly on average.
