Until the climate science community routinely uses noninormative priors for Bayesian studies of
climate system parameters, the results of many of those studies are likely to be significantly biased.

There may be reason to strongly suspect that in any sufficiently complicated dynamical
system model (such as
climate) with stochastic
parameters (e.g., exactly when and where a lightning strike starts a major wildfire or a major submarine earthquake perturbs ocean circulation in a region or a major volcanic eruption introduces stratospheric aerosols), it is almost certain that any given run of the model will have periods of significant deviation from the mean of multiple runs.
For many key
parameters, the
climate system is already moving beyond the patterns of natural variability within which our society and economy have developed and thrived.
The working hypothesis is that even if the
climate system may have the possibility of long - term chaos, it is nonetheless more like William's example of what happens when you change a
parameter of the Lorentz model, than it is like the problem of predicting a single day's weather a year ahead.
The
climate system is all the main physical
parameters which together with physics and chemistry cause weather and its average & variance.
Often, the proximate cause of the
climate change is some
parameter of the
climate system that can be set off from the general collective behavior of the
system and considered as a «given,» even if it is not external to the
system strictly speaking.
No reasonable person would consider the CO2 as independent bifurcation
parameter since the CO2 is continously produced and consumed in large quantities within the «
climate - generating»
system depending upon interplay of other variables.
Although such methods estimate
climate system properties indirectly, the models concerned, unlike AOGCMs, have adjustable
parameters controlling those properties that, at least in principle, are calibrated in terms of those properties and which enable the entire
parameter space to be explored.
In recent years one of the most important methods of estimating probability distributions for key properties of the
climate system has been comparison of observations with multiple model simulations, run at varying settings for
climate parameters.
The GTP metric requires knowledge of the same
parameters as the GWP metric (radiative efficiency and lifetimes), but in addition, the response times for the
climate system must be known, in particular if the lifetime of component x is very different from the lifetime of the reference gas.
These
parameters are guesses, because there just isn't enough understanding of the complex and chaotic
climate system to parse out their different values, or to even be clear about cause and effect in certain processes (like cloud formation).
The forcings consist of the external
parameters that drive the state of the
climate system and would, for the future, consist of educated guesses.
So, all other things been equal, if the only
parameter we change in the
climate system is to double the level of atmospheric CO2, then the IPCC says that the earth will warm by about one degree.
Agree with you there Jim C.
Climate time series data is like economic time series in that the
system is non-ergodic and that any
parameters from this are non repeating and unpredictable.
Hi charles d, You should not be suspicious that it is extremely difficult to reconstruct
climate changes that occured long before anyone was around to measure and observe the multitude of
parameters involved in a complex, dynamic
system.
We revisit a recent claim that the Earth's
climate system is characterized by sensitive dependence to
parameters; in particular, that the
system exhibits an asymmetric, large - amplitude response to normally distributed feedback forcing.
At a recent debate at Oxford University, organized by the OU Engineering Society, I gave the undergraduates an argument from process engineering (which you will find in outline in my Union College presentation, and in more detail in my Hartford College lecture) to the effect that the closed - loop temperature - feedback gain in the
climate system (i.e., the product of the Planck
parameter and the net sum of all unamplified feedbacks) can not much exceed 0.1, implying at most 1.3 K of warming per CO2 doubling, compared with the IPCC's central estimate of 3.3 K.
I think the
climate system is the exact same, and by having enormous forcings, we're going out of the «design
parameters» of the control
system, with unknown consequences.
Climate sensitivity is then defined mathematically as the derivative of an appropriate functional or other function of the
systems state with respect to the bifurcation
parameter.
The primary triggers for ice ages and inter-glacials are well understood to be changes in the astronomical
parameters related to the motion of our planet within the solar
system and natural feedback processes in the
climate system.
«
Climate sensitivity is then de fined mathematically as the derivative of an appropriate functional or other function of the
systems state with respect to the bifurcation
parameter.
«These model - based studies provide invaluable insight into the functioning of the
climate system, because it is possible to vary processes and
parameters independently, thus examining the role and importance of different
climate mechanisms.
With one such «control
parameter» one could control exactly one property of the
climate system, for example, the global mean temperature or the temperature in China or the rainfall in the United States.
Climate, like all science outside of perhaps basic chemistry and physics, operates in an open
system where you can never prevent changes in other
parameters.

System Climate Model adapted to include a permafrost response module, the researchers calculated the contribution to climate warming of thawing permafrost over a range of varying para
Climate Model adapted to include a permafrost response module, the researchers calculated the contribution to
climate warming of thawing permafrost over a range of varying para
climate warming of thawing permafrost over a range of varying
parameters.
«The assessment is supported additionally by a complementary analysis in which the
parameters of an Earth
System Model of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC) were constrained using observations of near - surface temperature and ocean heat content, as well as prior information on the magnitudes of forcings, and which concluded that GHGs have caused 0.6 °C to 1.1 °C (5 to 95 % uncertainty) warming since the mid-20th century (Huber and Knutti, 2011); an analysis by Wigley and Santer (2013), who used an energy balance model and RF and
climate sensitivity estimates from AR4, and they concluded that there was about a 93 % chance that GHGs caused a warming greater than observed over the 1950 — 2005 period; and earlier detection and attribution studies assessed in the AR4 (Hegerl et al., 2007b).»

Climate System model 20th century simulations for CMIP5 (Gent et al. 2011) arguably qualifies as a completely forward calculation, with forcing data sets being selected a priori and no tuning of parameters to the 20th century climate other than the sea ice albedo and the low cloud relative humidity thr

In UKCIP08, for example, we are handling this problem by combining results from two different types of ensemble data: One is a systematic sampling of the uncertainties in a single model, obtained by changing uncertain
parameters that control the
climate system; the other is a multi-model ensemble obtained by pooling results from alternative models developed at different international centers.
