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 did so, and in so doing pointed out a number of problems in the M&N paper (comparing the
ensemble mean of the GCM simulations with a single realisation from the real world, and ignoring the fact that the single GCM realisations
showed very similar levels of «contamination», misunderstandings of the relationships between
model versions, continued use of a flawed experimental design etc.).

1) Regarding the 1970s shift, Ray mentions that: «It's not evident why the smooth trend in 20th century climate forcing should give rise to such an abrupt shift, and indeed the individual members of the

Based on results from large
ensemble simulations with the Community Earth System
Model, we
show that internal variability alone leads to a prediction uncertainty of about two decades, while scenario uncertainty between the strong (Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5) and medium (RCP4.5) forcing scenarios [possible paths for greenhouse gas emissions] adds at least another 5 years.

Unlike the ENSO and IOD SST forecasts, the seasonal outlooks are based on the last three weeks of forecasts, i.e. five separate

(The red line
shows the histogram of the rank of the observed trend at each grid point, within the CMIP5
ensemble spread - ideally, it would be flat, and the slope up to the left means that there are relatively more obs in the low end of the

Koutsoyiannis (2011)

Koutsoyiannis (2011)
showed that an
ensemble of climate
model projections is fully contained WITHIN the uncertainty envelope of traditional stochastic methods using historical data, including the Hurst phenomena... the Hurst phenomena (1951) describes the large and long excursions of natural events above and below their mean, as opposed to random processes which do not exhibit such behavior.
To buttress this point, recent work by Mike Mann and colleagues has
shown that warming during the most recent decade is well within the spread of a
model ensemble.

In contrast, the updated
ensemble forecast from a coupled ice - ocean
model submitted by Zhang (Figure 3) still
shows the September ice edge further north than in 2009.
This is consistent with both the June and July (Figure 3)
ensemble predictions from a coupled ice - ocean
model submitted by Zhang, which
show considerably more ice in the East Siberian Sea compared to 2009, and it is consistent with the June statistical forecasts submitted by Tivy, which also predict a greater ice area than in 2009 and above - normal ice concentrations along the coasts.

And that this is reflected in individual
model runs but as the timing of events such as El Nino / La Nina, volcanic eruptions etc. is unpredictable when projections are made based on
ensemble runs then they will tend to average out and the projection will
show a fairly steady trend.
