«We do argue, however, that regional climate models can provide useful information about climate change as long as there is some value in the large - scale infor ¬ mation provided by the multimodel GCM ensembles.

Simulating the variation of the ice sheet's albedo using a regional climate model — Modèle Atmosphérique Régionale (MAR), which some members of the team helped develop — indicated that increasing temperatures and melting accompanied by snow grain growth and greater bare ice exposure account for about half the decline, the scientists report.

But running point scale intercomparisons of the sort Koutsoyiannis did tells you little about the validity of the model with respect to the purpose for which it is designed; but does underline the limits of global models for regional climate work.

That we tend to see much more discussion about global warming is I think because of the limitations of the climate models when they go to more regional and seasonal predictions and refinements of max versus min temperature trends.

The ENA is providing a rare, long - term data set about the response of these low clouds to changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases and aerosols — a major source of uncertainty in global and regional climate models.

«The quality of the global models are too poor to give any clear information about regional climate change.

Not only have its models been conclusively wrong about CO2 - caused global warming over the last 15 years, but the climate models» regional predictions are often diametrically opposite of reality.

Others have talked about what this might look like — regional impacts, measurement quality, reduced funding to GCM modeling (consistent with their strength in testing subsystems rather than forecasting climate), and more empirical work and modeling of those systems that have a large impact on areas of risk.

I should begin by disclosing that as a former project scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, I was tasked with thinking about how to combine data from different climate models into probabilistic projections of regional climate change.

I think it it reasonable for reasonable people to be somewhat shocked and surprised by such massive shifts in a scientific consensus to at least be asking questions about who or what is right or more right, and why X evidence is suddenly superseding Y evidence, or why previously accepted global climate models, regional or ocean models no longer are accepted.
