“…Furthermore, UNSEEN is one tool within many available tools to study plausible low‐likelihood high‐impact weather events. There is scope to assess the mutual benefit of various approaches, as is common for event attribution (Philip et al, 2020; van Oldenborgh et al, 2021), including ensembles of opportunity (e.g., King et al, 2017; Lewis et al, 2017), single‐model initial‐condition large ensembles (e.g., Suarez‐Gutierrez et al, 2020a, 2020b), ensemble reinitialization methods (e.g., Gessner et al, 2021), targeted large ensemble experiments (e.g., Guillod et al, 2017; Mitchell et al, 2017), pooling of observations (e.g., Berghuijs et al, 2017; Robinson et al, 2021), long archives (Hawkins et al, 2019; Murphy et al, 2020), paleoclimatic records (Yan et al, 2020), and statistical weather generators (Brunner & Gilleland, 2020; Wilks & Wilby, 1999; Yiou, 2014). Seasonal and decadal prediction systems may, furthermore, contribute additional lines of evidence to event attribution statement if their trend estimates can be extrapolated to represent pre‐industrial climates.…”
