Rather, they tested a range of potential values for key parameters of their model and retained those consistent with the paleo - sea level estimates, but they did not explore the full space of possible values within their ranges. (impactlab.org)
Therefore, we expect many models to run away quickly from realistic climatic conditions, especially when we perturb the internal parameters of the model. (climateprediction.net)
The technique is capable of both constraining the optimal parameters of these models as well as statistically selecting the best model from a set. (sciencedaily.com)
