Also, I note that by common usage the term «abrupt» (w.r.t. SLR) implies that «mainstream» experts would be surprised to observe such a response to AGW; nevertheless, the Earth's circulatory steams are inherently chaotic, and chaos theory clearly demonstrates that such systems can be subject to «strange attractors» that can increase the probability of occurrence of phenomenon towards the tail of a «fat - tailed» probability density function (PDF), such as that shown in Figure 3.

If you can estimate a probability distribution for the values of each independent input variable in a model (called a probability density function or pdf), you can run many simulations where the value of each independent variable in each cell for each run is selected from the probability density function for that variable.

Interested readers can read the article for details about how the analysis was done, but basically Wigley and Raper presented probability density functions, based on all of the IPCC TAR scenarios.

what exactly is it that determines the probability of an energy transition such as an electron emitting or absorbing a photon (besides densities and occupancies of states and incident photons, etc.)-- and how does refractive index affect this (it has to because the Planck function is proportional to n ^ 2 — has to be in order to satisfy 2nd law of thermo...)-- and does it make sense to use an k, E diagram when electrons are not actually propagating as plane waves — I mean, what is the wavevector when the waveform is not a plane wave; is k a function of space in atomic orbitals?

I don't know how absorption probabilities go with pressure off the top of my head, but for sure they decrease with decreasing pressure; focusing on band structure while excluding the huge drop in number density with altitude is obfuscatory.

If there is a greater density of CO2 molecules, then the probability of a particular photon, at one of these wavelengths that CO2 absorbs, coming across a CO2 molecule, is clearly increased.

[Response: Extremes are often considered as the «tails» of the statistical distribution or the probability density function (pdf).

Typical probability density functions (pdfs) of temperature (left) and precipitation on rainy days (right).

It is pointed out, however, that probabilities of damage increase significantly well before such emergence time scales and it is shown that probability density distributions of aggregate damage become appreciably separated from those of the control climate on time scales as short as 25 yr.

By mistake, in Figures S1a and S1b of the GRL Auxiliary Material, Dr Forest included the graphs from the MIT Report version, showing very different probability densities (PDFs) for climate sensitivity than those in Figure 2 of the main text of Forest 2006 in GRL.

This is at least ten additional years compared to the majority of previously published studies that have used the instrumental record in attempts to constrain the ECS.We show that the additional 10 years of data, and especially 10 years of additional ocean heat content data, have significantly narrowed the probability density function of the ECS.

In the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), an appendix to WGI Chapter 9, «Understanding and attributing climate change» [i], was devoted to these methods, which provided six of the chapter's eight estimated probability density functions (PDFs) for S inferred from observed changes in climate.

As the system wanders through the state space, there is a well defined quantity P (X, M) dV where X is a degree of fredom, dV a small volume of the phase state around a point M and P the probability density.

If P is independent of initial conditions and t then an invariant probability density exists and the system while still being chaotic and unpredictable has a well defined probability to be in a certain state.

I am criticizing Bayesian reasoning because it is used when it is not the case that «there is actual reliable information to substantiate the choice of a prior probability density.»

Distributions have certain properties of convergence that densities do not enjoy, whether the convergence is between probability functions or a probability function and data.

The issue gets confused here because IPCC had defined PDF to be the probability density functions, shown in Figure 9.20, but it averaged probability distribution functions of Box 10.2, Figure 2.

Bayesian reasoning is strongly to be preferred when there is actual reliable information to substantiate the choice of a prior probability density.

That there isn't «reliable information to substantiate the choice of a prior probability density», I take it.
