The goal of the Sea Ice Outlook effort is to synthesize and integrate different
observation and modeling efforts and to provide a broad - based assessment of arctic sea ice change.

The
modeling efforts continue to be incredibly important because they tie our physics - based understanding of how gravitational lensing works with the
observations of gravitational lensing,
and they allow astronomers to accurately search for
and study extremely distant
and lensed galaxies.
The
effort uses innovative ARM radar
observations from the MC3E field campaign to evaluate a series of high - resolution simulations, which results in an improved understanding of cloud transitions
and how to diagnose these transitions in
models.
There are uncertainties in parts of the general circulation
models used to forecast future climate, but thousands of scientists have made meticulous
efforts to make sure that the processes are based on
observations of basic physics, laboratory measurements,
and sound theoretical calculations.
The last 25 years constitute a period of more complete
and accurate
observations and more realistic
modeling efforts.
But a good faith
effort to engage in modifying
model equations
and input parameters to more closely match the
observations.
Similarly deserving of our appreciation, respect,
and praise are * ALL * of the global - scale energy - balance
observation efforts (IPSI, GRACE, JASON, ARGO, etc.); that condition * ALL * of the general circulation
models (too many to list!)
Spencer's paper are based on
observations and a 2 stage
model; they are empirically based with the
modeling following the
observations unlike the Dessler
and other contrary
efforts which
model first
and data fit later.
