Also, I note that by common usage the term «abrupt» (w.r.t. SLR) implies that «mainstream» experts would be surprised to observe such a response to AGW; nevertheless, the Earth's circulatory steams are inherently chaotic, and chaos theory clearly demonstrates that such systems can be subject to «strange attractors» that can increase the probability of occurrence of phenomenon towards the tail of a «fat - tailed» probability density function (PDF), such as that shown in Figure 3.

If you can estimate a probability distribution for the values of each independent input variable in a model (called a probability density function or pdf), you can run many simulations where the value of each independent variable in each cell for each run is selected from the probability density function for that variable.

With a probability density you are predicting the overall distribution, not the individual events themselves.

By mistake, in Figures S1a and S1b of the GRL Auxiliary Material, Dr Forest included the graphs from the MIT Report version, showing very different probability densities (PDFs) for climate sensitivity than those in Figure 2 of the main text of Forest 2006 in GRL.

One recent paper (Libardoni and Forest, 2011) has addressed how alternative observational records of surface temperature changes have an impact on the probability density distributions.

This allows you to generate the Probability Density Function (PDF) of the AR5 attribution, as was done by Real Climate:

This is at least ten additional years compared to the majority of previously published studies that have used the instrumental record in attempts to constrain the ECS.We show that the additional 10 years of data, and especially 10 years of additional ocean heat content data, have significantly narrowed the probability density function of the ECS.

In the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), an appendix to WGI Chapter 9, «Understanding and attributing climate change» [i], was devoted to these methods, which provided six of the chapter's eight estimated probability density functions (PDFs) for S inferred from observed changes in climate.
