Not exact matches

That would seem to be a good test of whether the method produces a good estimate of TCR independent of the uncertainty in E. I tried such a thing, and my main objection to the Shindell (2014) paper is that when I test the «simple» Otto method vs. the Shindell method on the same model set in the paper, the Otto et al (2013) method still seems to perform better.

The estimated size of and uncertainty in current observed warming rates attributable to human influence thus provides a relatively model - independent estimate of uncertainty in multi-decade projections under most scenarios.

The estimated size of and uncertainty in current observed warming rates attributable to human influence thus provides a relatively model - independent estimate of uncertainty in multi-decade projections under most scenarios.

The conflicting projections and estimates have left scientists and independent experts in a fog of uncertainty about whether mandating corn - based ethanol leads to higher or lower carbon emissions.

Unwillingness to combine the evidence in this way might be justified by the difficulties of estimating the full range of uncertainties of each analysis, but if the likelihood curves are taken seriously, combining all independent evidence is a natural procedure that should be done.

Until multiple, independent estimates of SST biases exist, a signicant contribution to the total uncertainty will remain unexplored.

σw is the raw OLS estimate of the standard uncertainty, ν is the ratio of the number of observations to the number of independent degrees of freedom, and σc is the corrected standard uncertainty.

Quantitative estimates of future rates of sea level rise are highly uncertain (independent of any uncertainties about future emissions), and the assessments have over-hyped the high estimates

Adding the relevant years» total uncertainty estimates for the HadCRUT4 21 - year smoothed decadal data (estimated 5 — 95 % ranges 0.17 °C and 0.126 °C), and very generously assuming the variance uncertainty scales inversely with the number of years averaged, gives an error standard deviation for the change in decadal temperature of 0.08 °C (all uncertainty errors are assumed to be normally distributed, and independent except where otherwise stated).

Our estimate for MAT averaged across 3 independent methods was about -0.4 C with uncertainty of about 0.4 C to 5C, depending on the method used.

But when I compute a mean as my estimate and a standard deviation as its uncertainty, I'm assuming that each model is producing independent data, and I'm relying on the expectation that their errors will cancel each other out.

Structural bias uncertainty estimate comes from three independent proxy types, each with a 2 - sigma of 3C, so the 2 - sigma on the mean is about + -1.7 C.
