different weather models (e.g. different spatial resolution implies different altitudes) and therefore is a reason for differences between reanalyses.

model spread).
While this methodology doesn't eliminate your point that the trends from
different periods in the observed record (or from
different observed datasets) fall at various locations within our
model - derived 95 % confidence range (clearly they do), it does provide justification for using the most recent data to show that sometimes (including currently), the observed trends (which obviously contain natural variability, or,
weather noise) push the envelop of
model trends (which also contain
weather noise).
There are basically two key points (explored in more depth here)-- comparisons should be «like with like», and
different sources of uncertainty should be clear, whether uncertainties are related to «
weather» and / or structural uncertainty in either the observations or the
models.
The climate is a measure of the statistical properties of the
weather which results from
different runs of the
models.

weather forecasts and sea - level rise our expertise can add value to many
different sectors of industry and society.

different scales — cloud - sized and earth - sized — in one
model to simulate the effects of Asian pollution on the Pacific storm track shows that Asian pollution can influence
weather...
(Note that some of these differences also result from random
weather variations, and therefore do not represent true differences among
model responses to greenhouse gas increases, but nevertheless can lead to
different simulation results.)
Different models are used for
weather prediction versus climate forecasts.
Multiple road
weather models are currently used around the world, but only few studies are made where the results from
different models are compared together.

different drivers /
modeling approaches for
weather systems versus climate.
The main catch I can see is that figuring out how to account for the planets»
different atmospheres might recreate the debates that are now going on about how to properly
model the Earth's
weather system.
Several days ago, Andy Revkin did a nice post querying a number of
weather forecasters and researchers about the relative merits of the
different forecast
models [link], particularly since everyone seemed to be paying attention to the European
model (ECMWF) rather than NOAA's GFS
model.
These are quite
different from the questions you ask with
weather models.
Weather is predictable for a week or so — initialised and nested
models at
different scales may be able to integrate
weather into short term climate prediction.
This is important because the CAGW now seems to centre around CO2 causing «extreme
weather» and the suggested activity by the
different agencies to move the global temperature up to the
models rather than the other way round.
Start a variety of
model runs with
different initial conditions, and they would show, like most calculations with complex nonlinear feedbacks, random variations in the
