It did, providing yet another independent accuracy
check on climate modeling, or at least the climate model (s) that was used by the scientists involved in this study.
Not exact matches
He said that if he had to rely
on the European Space Agency's limited, difficult - to - access data for his work
checking climate model predictions against reality, he'd be «more or less blind» — particularly in the vast, uninhabited stretches of the globe like the Pacific, which are vital for understanding the world
climate.
Scientists are
checking advanced
climate simulation
models against existing data to find that they're running right
on track to better predict drastic
climate change
In addition, past data can be used to provide independent estimates of
climate sensitivity, which provide a reality
check on the
models.
As with the 2017
model, a smartphone app allows owners to remotely
check battery status, start charging, turn
on the
climate control, and find their car in a crowded parking lot.
In addition, past data can be used to provide independent estimates of
climate sensitivity, which provide a reality
check on the
models.
These same
models can be used to simulate
climates in the past when CO2 levels were higher, and
checked against the fossil record (link to page
on past
climate).
I have found myself in this situation several times, where I needed to
check on various aspects of a
climate model simulation (i.e. has the ocean temperature stabilized?).
Regarding gritty details
on existing
models,

climate modeling FAQ, which finishes with the question
On November 3, 2017, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences put out a press release concerning the quality
check of
climate models:
Unless your disagreement with
climate science is very particular,
on a subtle point; where the predictions can be
checked without reference to a full
model, your not even doing science (or at best, your alternative
climate science is as undeveloped as standard
climate science was at that and the end of the 19th century).
Within a few years, after his unprincipled, unsupported and unscientific attacks
on climate «sceptics», my opinion had changed, to what it is now, that he's the very
model of an unthinking and ill - informed little s ** t. Presenting «evidence» that you haven't
checked out yourself is both irresponsible and unscientific, as is accepting «current thinking» or some form of consensus without questioning it in any way.
