In turn, they compared that data with the results of earlier climate models to determine which ones most closely forecast what the satellites actually saw. (technologyreview.com)
Earlier attempts to quantify this planetary heat imbalance were made in Hansen (2005) and Trenberth (2009) using earlier climate model - based estimates. (skepticalscience.com)
Complexity theory (formerly called chaos theory) was developed in large part due to discoveries made during early climate modeling efforts. (globalclimatescam.com)
