Vlieghe told the committee: «I'm never confident of any forecast, and I think the big thing that we risk missing here is that every time there is what we call a forecast

errors that in many ways come, first,
from the tests being used to calculate value - added; (3) the restricted ranges in teacher effectiveness scores also given these test scores and their limited stretch, and depth, and instructional insensitivity — this was also at the heart of a recent post whereas in what demonstrated that «the entire range

In order to understand the potential importance of the effect, let's look at what it could do to our understanding of climate: 1) It will have zero effect on the global climate
models, because a) the constraints on these
models are derived
from other sources b) the effect is known and there are methods for dealing the
errors they introduce c) the effect they introduce is local, not global, so they can not be responsible for the signal / trend we see, but would at most introduce noise into that signal 2) It will not alter the conclusion that the climate is changing or even the degree to which it is changing because of c) above and because that conclusion is supported by multiple additional lines of evidence, all of which are consistent with the trends shown in the land stations.
You can also account for possible
errors in the amplitudes of the external forcing and the
model response by scaling the signal patterns to best match the observations without influencing the attribution
from fingerprinting methods, and this provides a more robust framework for attributing signals than simply looking at the time history of global temperature in
models and obs and seeing if they match up or not.

So they can't quite grasp that the

These phases, which last 30 years, giving a 60 - year cycle, must be carefully allowed for: otherwise the

These scaling factors compensate for under - or overestimates of the amplitude of the
model response to forcing that may result
from factors such as
errors in the

errors in the imposed external forcing.
Scaling factors derived
from detection analyses can be used to scale predictions of future change by assuming that the fractional
error in
model predictions of global mean temperature change is constant (Allen et al., 2000, 2002; Allen and Stainforth, 2002; Stott and Kettleborough, 2002).
He also pointed out that
error boundaries (how far
from physical reality the
models are expected to be) are not the same as the range of wobbles (precision) as the wobbling is not wobbling about the real world; it wobbles about what the
models are centred on.
For forecast
models these
errors can be overcome by continually inserting new vertical component of vorticity observational data every 6 hours, thus reducing the
error that has spread upward
from the erroneous boundary layer.
