Sentences with phrase «as climate modellers»

As climate modellers will be well aware, a few weeks ago a group of German scientists reported that a weakening in the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) over the next ten years due to natural internal variability could cool climate around the North Atlantic enough to temporarily offset the effects of global warming.

Statements such as «They come to believe models are real and forget they are only models» reveals he has never had a conversation with a climate modeller — our concerns about ice sheets for instance come about precisely because we aren't yet capable of modelling them satisfactorily.

Real scientists (as opposed to climate modellers) have long maintained that the decline in Arctic ice is caused not by warmer air — in the past year or two Arctic air temperatures have actually been falling — but by shifts in major ocean currents, pushing warmer water up into the Arctic Circle.

«In other words, the projections shown here were made before the observations confirmed them as being correct, striking at the heart of the argument that modellers tune their models to yield the correct climate change results.»

[Response: That «modeller» is me (I don't like that label, as I've done sea - going measurements and published papers on data analysis and theory — my topic is climate, and models are just one tool for its investigation).

Some of the models also involve ensemble calculations, and again it may be instructive for the climate modellers to describe something about the use of these, especially as the public has been involved in some ensemble calculations being run on their pc's at home.

Climate modeller Ken Caldeira believes that if humans keep emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the same rate as today, by 2075 the world's coral reefs will begin to disappear because their rate of natural erosion will surpass their ability to grow fast enough to keep up.

Climate modellers can be relied on to be shrill in defense of their «beautiful creations», using derision and sneers as their principal defense.

I get notified daily of most of the new papers relating to climate matters (as a retired modeller — I still retain an interest), I have seen several recently regarding deep ocean temperature measurement and equipment that is used at multi depths.

While true, that's more feature than bug, since, as one of the two extreme pathways, it is designed to provide climate modellers with an unlikely, but still just plausible «how bad could it be» scenario.

Finally, as a pioneer mathematical modeller I congratulate Hansen et al on their attempts to model global climate.

The reason for the neutrality problem, as you can see from the Talk Page, is William Connelley — who is, amongst his other duties a Wikipedia Admin (which he abuses as much as he dares), an admin on RealClimate, a climate modeller at the British Antarctic Survey (obviously consuming a very small part of his time), and a political candidate for the Green Party in the UK.

For this reason, Shackley et al. found that many climate modellers didn't want to talk openly about their adjustments, in case critics of man - made global warming (who they referred to as «climate contrarians») would use them to question the reliability of the models:

Jim Hansen of NASA, George Bush's top climate modeller, predicts sea - level rise will be 10 times faster within a few years, as Greenland destabilises.

Climate modellers refer to the various attempts at these calculations as «infrared cooling models», and researchers have been proposing different ones since the 1960s, e.g., Stone & Manabe, 1968 (Open access).

Because this is an implicit target for any climate model development and tuning, the selection of such subjective criteria mimics a suite of models, which will be treated by other modellers as suitable for climate studies.

Before we get too bogged down in theological problems such as calculating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin (or climate modellers on an ice floe) perhaps we should look at what the data actually show.

Each model may be considered a social construct which embodies the beliefs of those modellers who created it as how best to represent the climate system, within the computational and technological constraints at the time.

The current adjustments and hyperventilation about the biblical sanctity of the temperature and models are being done by the climate scientists and modellers who have till date not shown any skills or capability to do that job fairly and ethically and especially present results as they are, without spinning or putting a slant on them or» adjusting» them.

Modellers were able to «peek at the answer» since they could not only observe inputs to the climate system (such as historical greenhouse gas levels, volcanic activity, solar changes and so forth) but also the simulation targets, namely average temperatures, when tuning their models.

Mojib Latif suggests, as other climate modellers, that decadal variations could explain the variations in Sahel rainfall, or the variations in Atlantic hurricane activity or sea level.
