Using a stochastic model of storm motion
derived from historic tracks, this paper explores the relationship between lead time and track
uncertainty for Atlantic hurricanes and the implications of this relationship for evacuation decisions.
We can
derive the underlying trend related to external forcings
from the GCMs — for each model, the underlying trend can be
derived from the ensemble mean (averaging over the different phases of ENSO in each simulation), and looking at the spread in the ensemble mean trend across models gives information about the
uncertainties in the model response (the «structural»
uncertainty) and also about the forcing
uncertainty — since models will (in practice) have slightly different realisations of the (uncertain) net forcing (principally related to aerosols).

uncertainties of monthly values
derived from the 20th Century Reanalysis product?
To elaborate slightly on my above point, the cause / effect relationship between CO2 and temperature

derived his estimate of
uncertainty from a computer model with no predictive validity.
As noted above, the
uncertainty estimates
derived from a particular analysis will tend to underestimate the true
uncertainty because they are conditional on the analysis method being correct.

derived from surface waves reflect lithospheric cooling although there is
uncertainty in mapping
from velocity to temperature (Ritzwoller et al., 2004).
The similarity of these observationally - based «NAO book - end» trend maps with those
derived directly
from the leading EOF of the set of 40 CESM - LE SLP trend maps (Fig. 2) attests to the robustness of the results, the utility of the method of Thompson et al. (2015) to estimate
uncertainty in trends
from the statistics of a Gaussian time series, and the fidelity of CESM's simulation of the NAO.
«The solar and volcanic forcings we use are
derived from reconstructions based on proxy data and are therefore also subject to considerable
uncertainties, although recent explosive volcanic eruptions are likely to have cooled climate, and independent records of solar activity levels inferred
from the cosmogenic isotope 10Be (43) and geomagnetic records (44) provide support to reconstructions (22, 45) that show generally increasing solar activity during the 20th century (12).»
Might it be better to display the likelihood function
from a radiocarbon determination (which would be identical to the subjective Bayesian posterior PDF based on a uniform prior) instead of a posterior PDF, and just to use an objective Bayesian PDF (or the SRLR) to
derive the
uncertainty ranges?
However, the largest contribution to
uncertainty in future river flows comes
from the variations between the GCMs used to
derive the scenarios.
For these reasons I trust the sensitivity based on the paleo data far more than I trust the sensitivity based on the instrumental period, and that trust is vindicated by the level of
uncertainty associated with the sensitivity
derived from each.
Uncertainty in these trend values arises
from different methodological choices made by the groups
deriving satellite products (Mears et al., 2011) and radiosonde compilations (Thorne et al., 2011), and
from fitting a linear trend to a time series containing substantial interannual and decadal variability (Santer et al., 2008; McKitrick et al., 2010).

If we wish to reason about certain questions on the basis of

The point I'm making (and I don't actually care if you don't like the roundabout way I'm making it), is that the PDF shown above uses an
uncertainty estimate (± 0.2 ºC) that is far too low for anthropogenic warming because it's not acutally
derived from any calculation of the components anthropogenic warming (i.e. ANT = GHG + OA).
To summarize, my argument here is that the
uncertainty figure to use for anthro warming must be
derived from what we can actually attribute to the components of anthro warming (GHG + OA), not what we assume must be anthro because we don't know how else to explain it.
The combination of non-standard instrumentation and sparseness of observations prior to 1910 make it impossible to construct a national mean temperature that is comparable to that

derived from the evidence IPCC itself gives: Palaeosens gives a likely 2.2 - 4.8, CMIP5 models is in the range 2.1 - 4.7 and the
uncertainties in inter-annual feedback observation analysis is mainly
from cloud feedbacks which is said to be «likely» positive.
This
uncertainty derives from the complexities involved in modelling the whole Earth system (including the strength of feedbacks
from clouds, etc.) and also
from predicting the future path of human activities.
I, and evidently others who have posted at CA, have been at least somewhat surprised by the
