If a model ensemble was perfect such that the true observed climatic variable can be regarded as indistinguishable from a sample of the model ensemble, then the rank of each observation lies with equal probability anywhere in the model ensemble, and thus the rank histogram should have a uniform distribution (subject to sampling noise).

On the other hand, if the distribution of a model ensemble is relatively under - dispersed such that the ensemble spread does not capture reality, then the observed values will lie towards the edge or outside the range of the model ensemble, and then the rank histogram will form a L - or U-shaped distribution.

The trend in peak hottest years starting in 1998 and continuing on through 2005, 2010, and now 2014 is roughly 0.1 C per decade, as is illustrated in the graphic shown below, which is an adaption of the Ed Hawkins graphic referenced by David Apell several weeks ago in a comment he posted in response to the «Spinning the «warmest year»» article... As shown in the above graphic, if a trend of peak hottest years starts in 1998 and is then extrapolated at a rate of +0.1 C per decade out to the year 2035, the extrapolated trend just skirts the lower boundary of the model ensemble range interval described by IPPC AR5 RCP (all 5 - 95 % range).

The very high significance levels of model — observation discrepancies in LT and MT trends that were obtained in some studies (e.g., Douglass et al., 2008; McKitrick et al., 2010) thus arose to a substantial degree from using the standard error of the model ensemble mean as a measure of uncertainty, instead of the ensemble standard deviation or some other appropriate measure for uncertainty arising from internal climate variability... Nevertheless, almost all model ensemble members show a warming trend in both LT and MT larger than observational estimates (McKitrick et al., 2010; Po - Chedley and Fu, 2012; Santer et al., 2013).

It's not useful as an upper bound — which it's been used as — and it radically distorts the «CI's» of the model ensemble, so that reality barely falls into the CI.

There are other plausible explanations which ought not be discounted, not the least of which is that the expected rate of warming (about 0.23 C per decade for the average of the model ensemble) is just much too high.

The mean of the model ensemble is what we think we would get if we had thousands of replicate Earths and averaged their trends over the same period.

The very high significance levels of model - observation discrepancies in LT and MT trends that were obtained in some studies (e.g., Douglass et al., 2008; McKitrick et al., 2010) thus arose to a substantial degree from using the standard error of the model ensemble mean as a measure of uncertainty, instead of the standard deviation or some other appropriate measure of ensemble spread.

And regardless, even if you look at just the spaghetti monster graph it is quite clear that we are running completely on the cool side of the model ensemble and to increase confidence we need better models (current best guess is they should be less sensitive and less attributive, to say the least).

Therefore» 95 % certain» especially in light of the failure of the model ensemble is a real laugh.

To buttress this point, recent work by Mike Mann and colleagues has shown that warming during the most recent decade is well within the spread of a model ensemble.

It's not evident why the smooth trend in 20th century climate forcing should give rise to such an abrupt shift, and indeed the individual members of the model ensemble do not show a clearly analogous shift.

1) Regarding the 1970s shift, Ray mentions that: «It's not evident why the smooth trend in 20th century climate forcing should give rise to such an abrupt shift, and indeed the individual members of the model ensemble do not show a clearly analogous shift.»

This time global annual SAT surged again but only enough to equal the average of the model ensemble.

For instance, if some analyses of the model ensemble tries to weight models based on some their skill compared to observations, it is obviously important to know whether a model group tuned their model to achieve a good result or whether it arose naturally from the the basic physics.

Caldwell regarded a proposed emergent constraint as not credible if it lacks an identifiable physical mechanism; is not robust to change of model ensemble; or if its correlation with ECS is not due to its proposed physical mechanism.

These limitations can be reduced, but not entirely eliminated, through the use of multiple independent observations of the same variable as well as the use of model ensembles.

The paper shows that the average of the model ensembles over-estimated the warming, which is in agreement with the AR5.

The extent to which anyone (including the IPCC) considers that a true picture of attribution, relies on the extent of belief in the accuracy of the model ensembles.

In Sect. 2, we describe the model ensembles and the application of the rank histogram approach, including a description of the statistical method used to define the reliability of model ensembles from the rank histogram, and a method for handling uncertainties in the observations.

There are a large number of methods one could adopt to evaluate the performance of model ensembles and there are many examples in the literature.

In the present paper, we analyse the reliability of model ensembles in statistical terms.

This idea of a «statistically indistinguishable» ensemble is common in the field of weather forecasting and other ensemble prediction fields, and under this paradigm the reliability of model ensembles can be evaluated through the rank histogram approach (Anderson 1996) whereby the distribution of the observed occurrence of an event in the prediction ensembles is evaluated.

What should happen is that people should stop trying to think that counting finite samples of model ensembles can give a probability.

The EDoF of model ensembles are calculated by changing the ensemble sizes (Figs. 3, 4), and it is found that the MMEs generally have large EDoF compared to the SMEs.

These results suggest that the structural diversity is important in order to include the observation among the spread of model ensembles.

The method for calculating the rank histograms in this study is the same as that described in AH10 and Y12, and involves constructing rank histograms for the gridded mean climatic state of the model ensembles for the present - day climate with respect to various observational data sets.

As shown in Fig. 3, the EDoF of model ensembles increases with increasing number of ensemble members, appearing to asymptote to a relatively small value for some ensembles, but continuing to increase in other cases.
