Given that the answer to this for atmospheric models is a resounding «NO» (particularly because of sub-grid scale processes which need to be effectively pre-ordained through parameterizations), and given that oceanic circulations have much longer adjustment time scales, yet also have much more intense small scale (gyre) circulations than the
atmosphere, my instinct is that we are not even close to being able to trust
ocean models without long term validation
data.

I was so impressed that all I wanted to do (other than figure out how to get in my girlfriend's pants......... now my wife of 48 yrs) was to get a job with NOAA (a relatively new and dynamic agency at the time) and ride that ship all over the world collecting CSTD
data to help better understand how the
oceans and the
atmosphere worked.
The mechanism by which the effect of oceanic variability over time is transferred to the
atmosphere involves evaporation, conduction, convection, clouds and rainfall the significance of which has to date been almost entirely ignored due to the absence of the necessary
data especially as regards the effect of cloudiness changes on global albedo and thus the amount of solar energy able to enter the
oceans.
Six types of instruments aboard Aqua are to scan through the

Previous large natural oscillations are important to examine: however, 1) our
data isn't as good with regards to external forcings or to historical temperatures, making attribution more difficult, 2) to the extent that we have solar and volcanic
data, and paleoclimate temperature records, they are indeed fairly consistent with each other within their respective uncertainties, and 3) most mechanisms of internal variability would have different fingerprints: eg, shifting of warmth from the
oceans to the
atmosphere (but we see warming in both), or simultaneous warming of the troposphere and stratosphere, or shifts in global temperature associated with major
ocean current shifts which for the most part haven't been seen.
Warm water in the tropical Pacific
Ocean warmed up the
atmosphere and drove record high temperatures (see 1998 in the satellite temperature

These

data are then used to support mathematical models that correlate CO2 increases to increasing heating of the
atmosphere and
oceans.
