O'Gorman, P. A., and T. Schneider, 2007: Recovery of atmospheric flow statistics in a general
circulation model without nonlinear eddy - eddy interactions.

Such
models aid blood
circulation the most
without cutting it off by being too tight.
These
models boost your
circulation and provide you with all the positives of compression therapy
without making a big dent in your budget.
Given that the answer to this for atmospheric
models is a resounding «NO» (particularly because of sub-grid scale processes which need to be effectively pre-ordained through parameterizations), and given that oceanic
circulations have much longer adjustment time scales, yet also have much more intense small scale (gyre)
circulations than the atmosphere, my instinct is that we are not even close to being able to trust ocean
models without long term validation data.
Vecchi et al. compared the observed trend in the Walker
circulation between 1861 and 1992 to that yielded by simulations from the GFDL CM2 general
circulation model, run with and
without anthropogenic forcing.
In detail the large scale
circulation structure would depend on the rotation speed of the planet so it is not easy to imagine the result
without some more serious
modelling.
Already in an early comment in this thread I speculated that it may be impossible to do those analyses
without the use of a full
model of
circulation.
One can not develop a useful
model of what drives global ocean
circulation, he says,
without understanding what is happening at the scale of a cubic centimeter.
In my articles to date I have been unwilling to claim anything as grand as the creation of a new
model of climate because until now I was unable to propose any solar mechanism that could result directly in global albedo changes
without some other forcing agent or that could account for a direct solar cause of discontinuities in the temperature profile along the horizontal line of the oceanic thermohaline
circulation.
When heavy rainfall probabilities were next investigated in ensembles of two atmospheric general
circulation models, run with and
without anthropogenically - induced sea surface temperature changes, results were
model - dependent.
This view is supported by
model results that relate the variability of the global - mean SST to North Atlantic thermohaline
circulation (30, 31, 35) and by the existence of an AMO - like variability in control runs
without anthropogenic forcing (28).
Nobody has created a general
circulation model that can explain climate's behavior over the past century
without CO2 warming.
Without studying the principles of highly - organized functioning of ecological communities, including their genetically encoded ability to respond to environmental perturbations in a non-random compensatory way, the perspectives drawn from global
circulation models with respect to the climatic effects of land cover change (e.g., statements like cutting all boreal forests will ease global warming) will continue to lack any resemblance to reality.
