climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 measure

Due to the important role of ozone in driving temperature changes in the stratosphere as well as radiative forcing of surface

# 5:
Global climate model simulations that include greenhouse gases indicate that the magnitude of warming that would be expected
from greenhouse gas increases is at least as large as the observed warming.
Type 2 dynamic downscaling refers to regional weather (or
climate)
simulations in which the regional
model's initial atmospheric conditions are forgotten (i.e., the predictions do not depend on the specific initial conditions), but results still depend on the lateral boundary conditions
from a
global numerical weather prediction where initial observed atmospheric conditions are not yet forgotten, or are
from a
global reanalysis.
As he points out, this doesn't guarantee a better regional
climate simulation however, and some aspects, such as trends, can be quite sensitive to the lateral boundary conditions
from global models (an inherent limitation for RCMs).
That regional
climate models can take past data
from global climate models and produce a «reasonably good
simulation of regional
climate» is quite an achievement — almost a miracle to me.
Van Haren et al (2012) also nicely illustrate the dependence of regional skill on lateral boundary conditions:
simulations of (historic) precipitation trends for Europe failed to match the observed trends when lateral boundary conditions were provided
from an ensemble of CMIP3
global climate model simulations, while a much better correspondence with observations was obtained when reanalyses were used as boundary condition.

Whether its the old NASA computer

Simulations with a simple
climate model (Schimel et al., 1997) indicate that the
global mean temperature response in these profiles is likely to differ by no more than about 0.2 °C
from the equivalent WRE profiles (Wigley et al., 1996; see Figure 9.16), though the maximum rate of temperature change is likely to be lower with the S profiles.
The researchers found that there were some improvements in the representation of
