ARCTIC-WISE: Bridging Northern Knowledges of Change Subsea Permafrost and the Methane Cycle on the Siberian Continental Shelf: Predictive Modelling for Climate Change David Archer, Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago Tuesday, March 10, 2015, 5 - 6:30 pm
A numerical model called SpongeBOB is used to simulate the hydrology and methane cycle on the Siberian continental shelf.

``... we lack compelling scenarios leading to the origin of iron meteorites... Early solar system collisions have been
called upon to excavate this iron [from the cores of the largest asteroids], although
numerical impact
models have found this task difficult to achieve, particularly when it is required to occur many dozens of times, yet not a single time for asteroid Vesta.»
The visualization covers the period June 2005 to December 2007 and is based on a synthesis of a
numerical model with observational data, created by a NASA project
called Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, or ECCO for short.
These waves are sometimes
called finite difference waves, because of the finite difference
numerical modeling techniques used to calculate their propagation characteristics.
It * is * true too, that one can make
numerical models, that when overlain with a large layer of fresh water that they reduce the so -
called meridional overturning circulation.
Very few of these people would
call themselves climate scientists — they are a collection of people who study the ocean, air, past climate,
numerical models, physics, ice, etc..
The predictions may match the observations for a while, but very soon random fluctuations smaller than the distance between the measurements (they are
called «sub-grid-scale eddies» in the vernacular of
numerical modellers) grow in size and — as far as the
model is concerned — appear out of nowhere and swamp the eddies we thought we knew something about.
These simulations can be used as a
numerical laboratory in which we can test the reconstruction methods and assess their potential limitations, by pretending to derive proxy records of the
model climate,
called «pseudo-proxies».
The people who utter the D word do not care about what the objects of their ires actually think: because the issue is not one's opinion on the GHG properties of CO2, and not even what the temperature record says, or what the equations may indicate, or how good the
numerical solutions we
call Models are.
