When the scientists compared the output of climate models with a decade of satellite measurements of relative humidity, they found that the models that best reproduced observed conditions were built on the premise that climate sensitivity is relatively high — 7 degrees F or more.

However, all models improve over time, and with increasing sources of real - world information such as satellites, the output of climate models can be constantly refined to increase their power and usefulness. (skepticalscience.com)
«The IPCC acknowledges in its 4th Assessment Report that ENSO conditions can not be predicted more than about 12 months ahead, so the output of climate models that could not predict ENSO conditions were being compared to temperatures during a period that was dominated by those influences.
