Likewise, to properly represent internal climate variability,
the full model ensemble spread must be used in a comparison against the observations (e.g., Box 9.2; Section 11.2.3.2; Raftery et al. (2005); Wilks (2006); Jolliffe and Stephenson (2011)-RRB-.
Likewise, to properly represent internal variability,
the full model ensemble spread must be used in a comparison against the observations, as is well known from ensemble weather forecasting (e.g., Raftery et al., 2005).
Not exact matches
Full - complexity Earth system
models (ESMs) produce spatial and temporal detail, but an
ensemble of ESMs are computationally costly and do not generate probability distributions; instead, they yield ranges of different
modeling groups» semi-independent «best estimates» of climate responses.
He claims that this can be corrected for, but he still isn't using the proper null — in M&N they show the results from the
ensemble means (of the GISS
model and the
full AR4
model set), but seem to be completely ignorant of the fact that
ensemble mean results remove the spatial variations associated with internal variability which should be the exact thing you would use!
I would really like some clarity as to how the
ensemble of
model runs are whittled down into a narrower subset without comprimising the ability of the
model to «span the
full range» of «weather noise».
The dark blue shading represents the envelope of the
full set of 35 SRES scenarios using the simple
model ensemble mean results.
but this is the
full CMIP3
ensemble, so at least the plot is sampling the range of choices regarding if and how indirect effects are represented, what the cloud radiative feedback & sensitivity is, etc. across the
modelling community.
In his talk, «Statistical Emulation of Streamflow Projections: Application to CMIP3 and CMIP5 Climate Change Projections,» PCIC Lead of Hydrological Impacts, Markus Schnorbus, explored whether the streamflow projections based on a 23 - member hydrological
ensemble are representative of the
full range of uncertainty in streamflow projections from all of the
models from the third phase of the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project.
an analysis of the
full suite of CMIP5 historical simulations (augmented for the period 2006 - 2012 by RCP4.5 simulations, Section 9.3.2) reveals that 111 out of 114 realisations show a GMST trend over 1998 - 2012 that is higher than the entire HadCRUT4 trend
ensemble... During the 15 - year period beginning in 1998, the
ensemble of HadCRUT4 GMST trends lies below almost all
model - simulated trends whereas during the 15 - year period ending in 1998, it lies above 93 out of 114
modelled trends.
Studies have shown that prolonged gazing at a spaghetti graph of climate
model ensembles reduces visual acuity by 38 % and lowers the I.Q. by 42
full points.
I agree with you about the lower bound, it seems particularly unreasonable for them to criticise the lower end of the IPCC range, especially as the rather small IPCC
ensemble includes
models with a lower forecast than their
full range, which also satisfy their statistical criterion.
They use a group of climate
models — characterized as «an
ensemble of opportunity» in AR4 — that don't reflect the
full range of uncertainty in our knowledge of climate sensitivity.
Unfortunately, much of the discussion has been based on graphics, energy - balance
models and descriptions of what the forced component is, rather than the
full ensemble from the coupled
models.
