found in the meteorological
modelling led to an increase in the peak 30 - day river flow of 21 % (

uncertainty range: -4,000 — 8,000).

model found that temperature
uncertainty associated with the social component was of a similar magnitude to that of the physical processes, which implies that a better understanding of the human social component is important but often overlooked.
This method tries to maximize using pure observations to
find the temperature change and the forcing (you might need a
model to constrain some of the forcings, but there's a lot of
uncertainty about how the surface and atmospheric albedo changed during glacial times... a lot of studies only look at dust and not other aerosols, there is a lot of
uncertainty about vegetation change, etc).
We
find that this effect is present in all
model grids tested and that theoretical
uncertainties in the
models, correlated spectroscopic errors, and shifts in the asteroseismic mass scale are insufficient to explain this effect.

«This
uncertainty is illustrated by Pollard et al. (2015), who
found that addition of hydro - fracturing and cliff failure into their ice sheet
model increased simulated sea level rise from 2 m to 17 m, in response to only 2 °C ocean warming and accelerated the time for substantial change from several centuries to several decades.»
Am I the only one that
finds odd that the observations have to be within the
uncertainty of the
models?
I was wondering for some time now, how much the
findings of the work of scientists, be it the IPCC, be it the PIK in Potsdam or what have you, can be taken for granted in order for policy makers to make valuable decisions (e.g. cutting carbon emissions by half by 2050) and if the
uncertainties in the
models might outweigh certain decisions to reduce carbon emissions so that in the end it might happen that these
uncertainties make these decisions obsolete, because they do not suffice to avoid «dangerous climate change»?
When comparing with alternative
models of plant physiological processes, we
find that the largest
uncertainties are associated with plant physiological responses, and then with future emissions scenarios.
So, of course there are
uncertainties in the
findings, as in any attribution and detection result, there is a remaining chance that the observed change is due to internal climate variability (5 - ish %) particularly if the
models would underestimate that variability.
``... since
uncertainty is a structural component of climate and hydrological systems, Anagnostopoulos et al. (2010)
found that large
uncertainties and poor skill were shown by GCM predictions without bias correction... it can not be addressed through increased
model complexity....
Instead, we
find that «
uncertainty» is actually being used to express the statistical PRECISION of the computer
modeling output sets with respect to each other, not with respect to the real world.

find NO references in either thread or in Weitzman to the last twenty years of formal decision - theoretic work on
models of decision under
uncertainty (as opposed to risk).
We
find, when all seven
models are considered for one representative concentration pathway × general circulation
model combination, such

modeled vegetation carbon change than responses of net primary productivity alone, increasing to 151 % for non-HYBRID4
models.
Results of climate policy analysis under deep

uncertainties in the radiosondes, but the satellites don't
find the scaling ratios either, and the
models fail on most other measures.
Given current
uncertainties in representing convective precipitation microphysics and the current inability to
find a clear obser - vational constraint that favors one version of the authors»
model over the others, the implications of this ability to engineer climate sensitivity need to be considered when estimating the
uncertainty in climate projections.»
The Guidance Note for Lead Authors of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report on Consistent Treatment of
Uncertainties impose upon the lead authors to assign subjective levels of confidence to their
findings: «The AR5 will rely on two metrics for communicating the degree of certainty in key
findings: 1 Confidence in the validity of a
finding, based on the type, amount, quality, and consistency of evidence (e.g., mechanistic understanding, theory, data,
models, expert judgment) and the degree of agreement.

find the NIPCC review reports of further scientific literature to be stimulating to explore all the

This scale factor was based on simulations with an early climate
model [3,92]; comparable forcings are
