What other climate models are incorporated in the UKCP09 probabilistic projections?

There are 12 other climate models used to develop the probabilistic climate projections in UKCP09. These models constitute a multi-model ensemble, projections from which are then combined with those from the perturbed physics ensemble of the Met Office HadSM3 model, in a statistical framework. The actual models used and further details are provided in the table below.
