The hot has been long
expected as part of global
warming theory and appears in many global climate
models.
A few of the main points of the third assessment report issued in 2001 include: An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a
warming world and other changes in the climate system; emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols due to human activities continue to alter the atmosphere in ways that are
expected to affect the climate; confidence in the ability of
models to project future climate has increased; and there is new and stronger evidence that most of the
warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.
The
models showed a general increase in extreme rainfall but the global
warming signal was not strong enough yet to rise above the
expected natural variation.
At the same time, new studies of climate sensitivity — the amount of
warming expected for a doubling of carbon dioxide levels from 0.03 to 0.06 percent in the atmosphere — have suggested that most
models are too sensitive.

model to predict what might be
expected to happen in the world's wine locales in the next 50 years and determined that an average additional
warming of two degrees C may occur.
Climate
modeling shows that the trends of
warming ocean temperatures, stronger winds and increasingly strong upwelling events are
expected to continue in the coming years as carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere increase.

warm as much as
expected by climate
models in the past decade or so.»
Climate change
models predict that the Arctic sea ice will continue to shrink in a
warming world (as much as 40 % of the ice is
expected to be gone by midcentury), and the resulting changes — including later formation of ice in the autumn, rain falling on the snow, and decreasing snow depths — will make it increasingly difficult for the seals to construct their snow caves, NOAA says.
Velders says his team came up with higher
warming estimates than IPCC because their
model accounts for trends that others don't, such as the faster - than
expected adoption of HFCs driven by the Montreal Protocol, and an air - conditioning boom in the developing world.
A new paper by Levermann et al. in PNAS uses the record of past rates of sea level rise from palaeo archives and numerical computer
models to understand how much sea level rise we can
expect per degree of
warming in the future.
Scientists have
modelled the
expected temperature drop over the 21st century due to waning solar activity — and they found that the change is likely to be dwarfed by the much bigger
warming effect of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The real «equilibrium climate sensitivity,» which is the amount of global
warming to be
expected for a doubling of atmospheric CO2, is likely to be about 1 °C, some three times smaller than most
models assumed.
The paper's lead author describes his findings thus — «Recent observations suggest the
expected rate of
warming in response to rising greenhouse gas levels, or «Transient Climate Response,» is likely to lie within the range of current climate
models, but not at the high end of this range.
The team relied on climate
modeling as well as observations to show that the effect is already occurring in the Arctic and is
expected to increase in the future as the climate
warms.

model, to secure competitive financing, or to receive expert automotive service, you can always
expect our tenured sales staff and automotive technicians to lend a
warm and welcoming hand.
The inclusion of a negative b value for the first derivative term in the
model defies physical rational... more rapid
warming is
expected to correspond to a faster not slower rate of rise.
I have observed greater variations in Arctic Inversions lately, the tendency is towards less steep inversions, this is
expected when the Arctic lower atmosphere
warms during winter, if the
models maintain a stronger inversion while its observed weakening this may explain why sea ice
models fail, strong boundary layers appear to be collapsing.
May be circulation has indeed changed and that World wide
warming is masking the cooling signal as
expected by
models.
No climate
model has ever shown a year - on - year increase in temperatures because of the currently
expected amount of global
warming.

expected warming from the
models!
or «[
models] continue to show that Antarctica can not be
expected to
warm up very significantly until long after the rest of the world».
DR PETER COX: «2040 it could be four degrees
warmer, the climate change could have led to big drying particularly in the Amazon Basin, that would make the forest unsustainable, we'd
expect the forest to catch fire probably, turn into savannah and maybe ultimately even desert if it gets really really dry as our
model suggests.»
Harold Brooks, a research meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's national severe storms laboratory, said that
models of climate change suggest that over the next 100 years, a
warming earth will provide more energy for storms, so «we
expect there will be more environments that are favorable for severe thunderstorms.»
Connolley and Bracegirdle (2007) show that
expected trends in a much larger sample of
models are very varied (though the ensemble mean
warms at about the rate seen in the Steig et al paper).
However climate
models from even 20 - 30 years ago [Schneider and Thompson (1981); Bryan et al (1988); Manabe et al (1992)-RSB- predicted that the response of the Antarctic to enhanced greenhouse - induced
warming would be much delayed relative to the
warming expected to occur in the Arctic.
Especially since based on the
model calculations you'd
expect anyway trends around 0.2 degrees per decade, because
models predict not a constant but a gradually accelerating
warming.
Dallas: I didn't smooth much of anything — just plotted the total
warming expected using the annual averages, and compared it to the
model's results using their annual averages.
Since all of the IPCC's
models «project» the «likelihood» of a steady
warming over this period, all of them must be wrong, and we can
expect similar failures for all the other «projections».»
The
models overestimated
warming from 1979 - 2011, but if you look at GISTEMP for example you can see that the East Pacific is cooler in 2011 than it was in 1979 and the
models did not capture that as they have no PDO in the correct phase and are not
expected to because PDOs are transient changes.
The troposphere doesn't exhibit a hot spot, the stratosphere isn't cooling, the oceans are not accumulating heat, the
warming has been 40 % of that
expected, and the
models are inching close to falsification.
In other words, «we don't know how
models are tuned, but trust us, they certainly aren't tuned to produce the
expected warming.»
Your statement is misleading because the IPCC 2007 report specifically shows
model's indicating that GHG's is
expected to promote
warming in tropical atmosphere (the «hot spot»).

models of global
warming: A key part of the atmosphere didn't seem to be
warming as
expected.
So, they didn't actually simulate sea level changes, but instead estimated how much sea level rise they would
expect from man - made global
warming, and then used computer
model predictions of temperature changes, to predict that sea levels will have risen by 0.8 - 2 metres by 2100.
Well, now, IF IPCC concedes - that ECS is very likely 1.6 - 1.7 C - that
expected warming by 2100 is projected to be around 1C rather than 2 - 6C, as previously estimated)- that the
model - predicted changes in «severe weather» from AR4 are no longer likely to occur, as a result.
A number of the man - made global
warming computer
models have tried to simulate how much «sea level rise» to
expect from man - made global
warming, e.g., Meehl et al., 20015 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); Jevrejeva et al., 2010 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); Jevrejeva et al., 2012 (Abstract; Google Scholar access).
# 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.
«All climate
models show that as the climate
warms, we should
expect more frequent atmospheric river storms, which isn't good in California because it's almost like too much rain at one time,» she said.
In summary, then, the best available
models indicate that 1) global
warming is a problem that is
expected to have only a limited impact on the world economy and 2) it is economically rational only to reduce slightly this marginal impact through global carbon taxes.
We're in the midst of a «hiatus decade», but as Christy's own figure shows, the observed
warming is nevertheless consistent with the envelope of
model runs, because climate
models expect hiatus decades to sometimes occur.
Interpretation of climate
model simulations has emphasized the existence of plateaus or hiatus in the
warming for time scales of up to 15 - 17 years; longer periods have not been previously anticipated, and the IPCC AR4 clearly
expected a
warming of 0.2 C per decade for the early part of the 21st century.
There are no
models which correctly predicted the slowdown in global
warming after around 1995, or the sudden increase in the rate of

expected temperature for any year.
While theoretical and
model experiments show
warmer seas drive more intense storms in the future, the total number isn't
expected to increase.
Thus one would
expect that that the
warming models without feedback are better established and agreed to than those with feedback.
Although climate
models have been predicting increasing average global temperatures over the next century or so, the past decade has not shown as much
warming as most scientists had
expected.
This simplified
model suggests that even the IPCC is not
expecting a significant
warming where most people live, but rather a
warming where it is cold by a few degrees.
The current version of the figure gives the impression that the IPCC
expected temperature to
warm continuously year on year, which of course was not the expectation — the projections shown here are just the long - term trend either from averaging the GCMs or using simple climate
models.
