Main takeaway from this (excellent) meeting: ZEC is not a singular property of the climate system. It's a catch-all for everything which isn't described by TCRE - and the more we study it, the more exotic and confusing it seems to be.
Joined a fantastically interesting workshop on TCRE and ZEC last night If you have ideas on the assessment and definition of TCRE or ZEC (including on whether ZEC is even a useful/real concept) submit to this EGU session! 👇 1/2
