WDAC works with the The WCRP Modelling Advisory Council (WMAC) to promote effective use of observations with models and to address issues related to the coordinated development of data assimilation, reanalysis,
Observing System Sensitivity Experiments, and paleoclimatic data and their assessments.

ALMA, with its remarkable
sensitivity and high resolving power, was able to
observe this
system at these wavelengths in unprecedented detail.
We found no additional companion in the
system in spite of exquisite
observing conditions resulting in
sensitivity to 6MJup (2MJup) at 0.5» for an age of 300 Myr (50 Myr).
A key to a mechanistic understanding is the ability to
observe membrane organization with a spatial resolution on the molecular level, a temporal resolution in the micro-second range and
sensitivity down to the single molecule without disturbing the
system (noninvasive).
Gregory et al. (2002) used
observed interior - ocean temperature changes, surface temperature changes measured since 1860, and estimates of anthropogenic and natural radiative forcing of the climate
system to estimate its climate
sensitivity.
C climate
sensitivity if the
observed history of ENSO was included, which was shown from CERES satellite measurements to modulate the Earth's radiative budget naturally (what we called «internal radiative forcing» of the climate
system).

«The assessment is supported additionally by a complementary analysis in which the parameters of an Earth
System Model of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC) were constrained using observations of near - surface temperature and ocean heat content, as well as prior information on the magnitudes of forcings, and which concluded that GHGs have caused 0.6 °C to 1.1 °C (5 to 95 % uncertainty) warming since the mid-20th century (Huber and Knutti, 2011); an analysis by Wigley and Santer (2013), who used an energy balance model and RF and climate
sensitivity estimates from AR4, and they concluded that there was about a 93 % chance that GHGs caused a warming greater than
observed over the 1950 — 2005 period; and earlier detection and attribution studies assessed in the AR4 (Hegerl et al., 2007b).»
In a paper, «Heat Capacity, Time Constant, and
Sensitivity of Earth's Climate System» soon to be published in the Journal of Geophysical Research (and discussed briefly at RealClimate a few weeks back), Stephen Schwartz of Brookhaven National Laboratory estimates climate sensitivity using observed 20th - century data on ocean heat content and global surface t

In fact the non feedback
sensitivity is close to the IPCC value, though our calculation is for a very idealized coupled climate
system - but the simulated temperature profile are similar with profile of the
observed Earth climate.
