Sentences with phrase «giss model»

The GISS Model E forcings are referred to as «net» forcings and presumably include feedbacks.

But there is a WORLD of difference between the ECMWF model and the NASA GISS model.

This document shows the verification of the GISS Model E».

I agree that a 20 - year delay would make a large difference to climate sensitivity, but the problem is that I got my 1.2 C estimate from GISS model E, and GISS doesn't build in a 20 year delay.

Regarding releasing supporting code and data and paper in one package, I've amused myself for quite some time playing with the interactive pages that Dr. Hansen and other GISS researchers often put up alongside their papers e.g. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/modelE/transient/dangerous.html ISTR another where one could tweak forcings and plot the output from GISS Model E, for those without the time to download and compile the fortran..., but a quick Google doesn't find it.

, and since he knows that individual realisations of the GISS model come up with fits to the «socio - economic» variables as good as he has calculated in the real world, the practical significance of these continued variations is zero.

This is just a brief note to point out that a few graphs that I have put together showing Ocean Heat Content changes in recent decades had an incorrect scaling for the GISS model data.

When I lag the forcings, using an efficacy of 1 for all forcings except volcanic and a volcanic efficacy of 0.75, I get an R ^ 2 of 0.98 when compared to the GISS model output.

First, you note that a factor needs to be applied to the volcanic response when you predict temperature from the forcing inputs: - «When I lag the forcings, using an efficacy of 1 for all forcings except volcanic and a volcanic efficacy of 0.75, I get an R ^ 2 of 0.98 when compared to the GISS model output.»

Marvel et al could withdraw their paper and submit a new one, using more satisfactory methodology and providing more detail, after performing a set of simulations that showed how the GISS model responded to each type of forcing as the climate state evolved during the historical period.

Present day atmospheric simulations using GISS Model: comparison to in - situ, satellite and reanalysis data.

On the other hand, if the GISS model is accurately characterizing the earth's climate and temperature than perhaps climate in general is very unpredictable.

If that run is not considered an outlier it does not speak well for the confidence inspired for the GISS model as a predictor.

The IPCC and the GISS model E identify many more.

Marvel et al. used the newer E2 - R version of the GISS model to carry out single - forcing simulations similar to those in Hansen 2005.

Question: how soon (pun intended) will there be an update to GISS Model E to calculate realistic climate projections accounting for the warming due to changes in the variable gravity from the planets that is responsible for climate changes?

But even if this is a result of the GISS model, this largely depends on the assumptions made in the model for e.g. amounts and radiative effect of aerosols, which are far from settled.

What role does the focus on the precautionary principle have in the driving of GISS Model E development?

Gavin, you can certainly answer true or false as to the accuracy of this claim regarding GISS Model E, at least.

The exceptions to this behavior are the GISS Model E-R (4.0 ° × 5.0 °) and MIROC 3 — 2 - MEDRES (2.8 ° × 2.8 °), both of which have been documented as having difficulties with air - sea interaction due to limitations in their resolution (16).

He digs into one of the major climate models, GISS model E, and looks at the back - casts from this model.

Of course, that doesn't prove the GISS model is correct, since the modeled trend seems due to a combination of overstated ocean heat uptake (known to be incorrect) and an almost certainly overstated sensitivity to forcing.

All I did was give a fair representation of the state of the GISS model.

Natural variation due to redistribution of heat through mechanisms such as ENSO show up as emergent properties of at least some of the models (GISS Model E, for instance).

When this type of adjustment is applied tot eh temperature data, the Pinatubo effect in 1992, 1993, and 1994 should be somewhat stronger (especially in 1992), and a bit closer to the GISS model trend.

The expected land - only amplification of MSU - LT over SAT is close to zero (actually equivalent to a factor of ~ 0.95 + / - 0.07 according to the GISS model).

In the above paper I also show that the model I published in 2011 has predicted efficiently the temperature pattern since 2011 far better than the models used by the IPCC including the GISS model.

2 James Hanson et al., «Dangerous human - made interference with climate: a GISS model study», Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 7, 2287 - 2312, 2007.

I chanced upon a partial answer to this question yesterday, while going through some GISS Model E simulations.

I just did an analysis of the GISS Model E hindcast (1880 - 2000).

Pielke's «Response: NOT TRUE; see Update On A Comparison Of Upper Ocean Heat Content Changes With The GISS Model Predictions.

I know that some climate scientists don't think the GISS model is very good, but I'm not an expert on GCMs and I wouldn't want to hazard a guess.

I chose that because a) there are nine runs available and b) the GISS model is one of the more complex models and c) it's one of the longest historical runs (n = 1488 months).

As it is, I checked a GISS Model E2 - R model run of the 20th century and it predicts a warming rate of less than 1/3 the warming rate of the observations in this period.

McIntyre picked that scenario B to comment on the GISS model (which uses actual concentrations, not emissions), which was VERY much too sensitive as shown by Schmidt's paper on the new GISS model (sensitivity 2.6 K).

Since these forcings come from the GISS E model, I also checked the warming rate from a GISS Model E2 - R model run of the 20th century from the CMIP5 database.

There is one exception that I know of and that is that the GISS model did for a period 1993 - 2003 (ish) agree with the OHC data (with some further assumptions).

It's worth noting that the current estimate from NASA's GISS Model E, to be used in the upcoming IPCC model ensemble, is 2.5 C.

Stenchikov et al. (2006) showed that models have difficulty in capturing the regional response of the climate system (ao) to Volcanic singularities specifically the temperature regime in eurasia in the Giss model, or in retrodiction ie the Krakatoa problem why was it so warm, thus there is no uniqueness theorem for volcanics.

It clearly appears that the temperature has a cyclical behavior that GISS corrections try to smooth out (because their GISS model does not reproduce it?).

«Previous studies involving the GISS model found that rapid cloud changes in both hemispheres result from the rapid adjustment to aerosol forcing; effective radiative forcing isthus more hemispherically symmetric than instantaneous aerosol forcing.

The issue is the time of the year, latitude and type.The Krakatoa problem is well known eg Stenchikov 2006 ie that the models over estimate the global forcing.Hansen suggested that the observations were incorrect, however the Giss model gets the AO sign incorrect and arctic central temps incorrect in scale and time so.This is due to the incorrect heteregenous chemistry at high latitudes eg chapter3 WMO 2003, Ozone assessment 2011.

During the first ten years of the period (1993 - 2008) mentioned in that paper the OHC was not generally considered to be missing, and Hansen found OHC to be compatible with the GISS model output for that period.

The theme is that ocean heat content (OHC) hasn't risen as fast as GISS model projections.

We do know that the various models run at different temperatures (not tested here) so they are unreliable on that score, but if the GISS model is internally consistent then this suggests something wrong with NOAA's base hidden climatologies.

It's obvious that global sea surfaces simulated by the GISS climate model were warmer than observed and that the GISS model warming rate is too high over the past 3 decades.

Shown are data from the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) dataset and output from the two GISS model experiments (SST only in middle panel and SST+D ust in bottom panel).
