Co-author Nerilie Abram, from the Australian National University, said: «In order to better understand climate change in Antarctica, we need continued climate measurements in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, and extension of these short observational records with past climate reconstructions and climate modelling.»

To meet this societal need, the world climate research community is challenged by underlying science questions and the quality and coverage of the observational data that are used to monitor and understand extremes.

Note that the observational approach needs to assume a constant climate sensitivity between different states, whereas perturbed physics ensembles don't (though you still need to understand what feedback processes are important between different climate states to have confidence in the results).

The ARM Aerosol Measurement Science Group (AMSG) coordinates ARM Climate Research Facility observations of aerosols and atmospheric trace gases with user needs to ensure advanced, well - characterized observational measurements and data products — at the spatial and temporal scales necessary — for improving climate science and model forClimate Research Facility observations of aerosols and atmospheric trace gases with user needs to ensure advanced, well - characterized observational measurements and data products — at the spatial and temporal scales necessary — for improving climate science and model forclimate science and model forecasts.

Two climate sensitivity stories this week — both related to how careful you need to be before you can infer constraints from observational data.

Your readers do need a source of reliable information about whether ANY substantial observational evidence confirms the predictions of climate models.

«While the new satellite instruments discussed in this study have clearly advanced the state - of - the - art in cloud - radiation observational capabilities, there is a critical need to extend the length of these records over multiple decades and further improve their accuracy in order to quantify how clouds are changing in a warmer climate and how cloud changes impact the Earth's radiation budget.

(2) If the answer is yes, i.e. we already have what we need in terms of raw observational data, is it an accurate summary of your position to say that achieving these useful predictions of future climate behavior is simply a matter of applying an appropriate and scientifically defensible series of analytical techniques?

Our results point to the need for future observational and modeling studies to focus on the regional and seasonal characteristics of Antarctic climate change, the regional response to ozone depletion, the influence of tropical variability and climate change on Antarctic climate, and on the mechanisms that link sea ice and air temperature in Antarctica.

Such proxy material as tree rings can not be as accurate as instrumental records or detailed reconstructions using a variety of observational material - but there are nevertheless a number of obvious consequences that those who debate climate as either «realists» or «sceptics» need to face when considering this data;

It highlights some of the activities being undertaken, the need for the standardization of methods and harmonization of data and the major observational gaps and funding requirements needed to allow countries and international agencies to monitor, implement and report on issues related to climate change.

The notion that CO2 is such a driver of climate that the projected growth in ambient levels carries the threat of probable catastrophe is so feeble, so lacking in observational and, indeed, theoretical support that we need other ways to understand the motivations of those who campaign so intemperately against this vital chemical.
