As for the somewhat chaotic condition in the Vatican in the latter years of the pontificate — not to mention the poor preparation for the 2012 pilgrimage to Mexico and Cuba, which seems to have had an impact far beyond the Caribbean — why did Pope Benedict not ind himself a more competent «prime minister» than Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, whose record as Secretary of State the pope emeritus continues to defend in Last Testament: a defence that may be admirable as personal loyalty, but is inexplicable otherwise?

Moreover, what happens to an individual car is highly dependent on the weight of its passengers and where they sit — a characteristic of chaotic systems, in which small changes in the starting conditions produce wildly different results.

The weather is a chaotic system in which small differences in initial conditions can cause exponentially diverging outcomes, a property known as the butterfly effect.

Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that fish can be repelled by chaotic and widely fluctuating flow conditions, while being attracted by vortical structures in predictable flows, from which they can harness energy [52], [56].

Nemes uses 35 mm film and a tight 4:3 aspect ratio to film long, chaotic sequences which attempt to put the viewer among these claustrophobic and horrifying conditions.

When GCMs are used to model atmospheric conditions and spatial grid size is reduced is there a scale at which chaotic conditions prevail and make modeling difficult in the same way that weather is harder to model than climate?

Yet, we explained there is also reasonable basis for concern that a warming world may at least temporarily increase tornado damage including the fact that oceans are now warmer, and regional ocean circulation cycles such as La Nina / El Nino patterns in the Pacific which affect upper atmospheric conditions appear to becoming more chaotic under the influence of climate change.

The actual climate is incredibly complex and chaotic, which makes it impossible for humans to predict climate conditions, let alone «model.»

I always believed that the oceans were an important element in localised weather conditions over the short term but feel that relatively sudden shifts in climate occur through external forcings such as volcanic eruptions, meteor strike and the effects of changes in cosmic rays and sun spot activity, which are, unfortunately, all chaotic by nature and unpredictable.

It is true that the model replications of past conditions are not perfect, which is to be expected given the chaotic variations of the climate about its now - changing baseline; however, the ensemble of model simulations has been tested against previously observed perturbations to climate (such as the response to volcanic eruptions) and overall they correspond well with what is observed to occur.

Why is it so «sensitive to initial conditions» (which is a short definition of «chaotic»)?
