Indefinite time scales, natural contributions, many adjustable parameters, uncertain response to CO2,
averaging of model outputs, non linearity, chaos and the absence of successful predictions are all reasons to continue to challenge the present models.
Secondly, the eyeball
average of the model outputs does not fall particularly close to the endpoint of the temperature record.
And please do not say that
an average of model outputs can overcome this problem.

Their findings, based on
output from four global climate
models of varying ocean and atmospheric resolution, indicate that ocean temperature in the U.S. Northeast Shelf is projected to warm twice as fast as previously projected and almost three times faster than the global
average.

This was also demonstrated for land - only
model output (R. McKitrick, personal communication) in which a 24 - year record (1979 - 2002)
of GISS - E results indicated an amplification factor
of 1.25
averaged over the five runs.
Unfortunately, the figure also confirms that the spatial resolution
of theoutput from the GCMs used in the Mediterranean study is too coarse for constructing detailed regional scenarios.To develop more detailed regional scenarios, modelers can combine the GCM results with
output from statistical
models.3 This is done by constructing a statistical
model to explain the observed temperature or precipitation at a meteorological station in terms
of a range
of regionally -
averaged climate variables.
The DICE
model attempts to quantify how the atmospheric concentration
of CO2 negatively affects economic
output through its impact on global
average surface temperature.
Note: I do not mean take
averages of 3D GCM
output and then plug into the 1D
model.
In that paper they use the 1D
model to calculate climate sensitivity from
averages of CIMP5
output.
A realistic test
of a climate
model would be to initialize it to conditions around 1850 - 1880 (which would mean making multiple runs with random starting data) and see if the
average model outputs follow the measured trend from 1900 onwards.
The
model - mongers advise the use
of ensembles, and present the
output average of a number
of their
models, including those having ensembles.
If the former, then it seems absurd
averaging outputs of a number
of models, only one
of which could possibly be correct.
Have you ever wanted a simple way to
output global
average values for each year from a series
of monthly climate
model output files?
As they are not data and can not be
averaged, one can not state that there is some generic
model output for comparison to measured earth temperature (which in and
of themselves are not statistically analyzed correctly).
One
of the most egregious errors being made is
averaging models to get a value that is said to represent generalized
model output.
But complex
models of that sort can easily produce more than 100 prognostic and diagnostic climate variable
outputs, at each
of around a million grid points, for each
model day, and almost all
of these are
averages which need to be downscaled to get useful information at point scale.
There is no way the re-emitted heat
of a mere 168 g / km
average for a Toyota Corolla (110
models) will even match — let alone eclipse — the ~ 30,000 Watt heat
output of the engine.
This faith is in spite
of all evidence that shows the approach
of averaging the results
of models demonstrates that they have no particular
model that can be relied upon for accuracy and the fact that none
of the
models outputs match observations.
The more linear (lower variance) the
average output in two
models, the higher the r2, purely as a result
of increased autocorrelation.
This makes the «
averaging»
of a group
of model results very far from a random sample
of possible
model outputs.
First, was the simplistic application
of statistics beyond an
average in the form
of a straight line trend analysis: Second, predictions were given awesome, but unjustified status, as the
output of computer
models.
In fact, it's hard to envision a set
of mid-November observations and
model output that would lead to higher confidence in a wetter - than -
average California winter than the ones currently in place.
What your article confirms for me is that the
average of a bunch
of model outputs (a questionable procedure in the first place) is dependent for alarming content on the existence
of high - end predictions from the likes
of the Canadian simulator in British Columbia which is the second hottest - running
of all
models.
It only appears in the
output of mathematically dubious area -
averaging computer
models.
As we discussed in our paper, if one takes out the «no radiosonde data» squares from the
output of the NCEP
model, the
averages of the remaining squares (about 2 %
of the total) tell much the same story as when one uses all
of them.
Using existing
output data from global climate
models, the researchers plotted projections
of changes in global
average temperature and rainfall against regional changes in daily extremes.
The
model outputs are generally presented as an
average of an ensemble
of individual runs (and even ensembles
of individual runs from multiple
models), in order to remove this variability from the overall picture, because among grownups it is understood that 1) the long term trends are what we're interested and 2) the coarseness
of our measurements
of initial conditions combined with a finite
modeled grid size means that
models can not predict precisely when and how temps will vary around a trend in the real world (they can, however, by being run many times, give us a good idea
of the * magnitude *
of that variance, including how many years
of flat or declining temperatures we might expect to see pop up from time to time).
