The database includes information about each student's classroom teacher in a given year, which allows us to estimate how much the student learned in that year and to connect that information to such professional characteristics as teacher certification, acquisition of a master's degree, teacher experience, teacher test performance, and the specific school of education the teacher had attended within Florida, if the teacher had attended one of the eleven schools for which adequate numbers of teacher observations were available.

This is quite subtle though — weather forecast models obviously do better if they have initial conditions that are closer to the observations, and one might argue that for particular climate model predictions that are strongly dependent on the base climatology (such as for Arctic sea ice) tuning to the climatology will be worthwhile.

Here lies some issues too: if a couple of studies being heavily relied upon are being used that have some unknown flaws the Bayes approach may or may not be able to correct for those, whereas direct empirical observations can better correct for such issues, and there are some other frequentist approaches, though much more tedious, can better control for such errors.

Moreover, if the observations were due to an imbalance in the natural sources and sinks, it would be a remarkable coincidence that such imbalances occurred at precisely the time that anthroprogenic sources were of (more than) sufficient magnitude to also account for them.

the 1.5 to 2 m observations of minimum temperatures that are used as part of the analysis to assess climate system heat changes (e.g., such as used to construct Figure SPM - 3 of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [2007] and of Parker [2004, 2006] study) lead to a greater long term temperature trend than would be found if higher heights within the surface boundary layer were used.

With 2010 over, we now have 16 observations starting in 1995, and (unsurprisingly to anyone who followed the argument thus far) the upward trend is now statistically significant at the 5 per cent level [1] That is, if climate change since 1995 (the time of the first IPCC report, and well after Lindzen announced himself as a sceptic) had been purely random, the odds against such an upward trend would be better than 20 to 1 against.

So the answer to your question is «observation», as opposed to the speculation which seems to be very much in vogue among those pushing the ever - floundering Hidden Global Warming hypothesis (if it can even be dignified with such a label).

Such adjustments, even if they improve the match between model output and observations, do not mean that we have improved the model.

In such occasions, I've observed that if one wants to say that there is a statistically significant difference between models and observations, then one is equally obliged to say that there is a statistically significant trend.

If the premise is not supported by empirical evidence, such as from real - time physical observations or reproducible experimentation, it remains an uncorroborated hypothesis.

The reasons for that are many: the timid language of scientific probabilities, which the climatologist James Hansen once called «scientific reticence» in a paper chastising scientists for editing their own observations so conscientiously that they failed to communicate how dire the threat really was; the fact that the country is dominated by a group of technocrats who believe any problem can be solved and an opposing culture that doesn't even see warming as a problem worth addressing; the way that climate denialism has made scientists even more cautious in offering speculative warnings; the simple speed of change and, also, its slowness, such that we are only seeing effects now of warming from decades past; our uncertainty about uncertainty, which the climate writer Naomi Oreskes in particular has suggested stops us from preparing as though anything worse than a median outcome were even possible; the way we assume climate change will hit hardest elsewhere, not everywhere; the smallness (two degrees) and largeness (1.8 trillion tons) and abstractness (400 parts per million) of the numbers; the discomfort of considering a problem that is very difficult, if not impossible, to solve; the altogether incomprehensible scale of that problem, which amounts to the prospect of our own annihilation; simple fear.

If a model ensemble was perfect such that the true observed climatic variable can be regarded as indistinguishable from a sample of the model ensemble, then the rank of each observation lies with equal probability anywhere in the model ensemble, and thus the rank histogram should have a uniform distribution (subject to sampling noise).
