time periods;
Within the confines of our work with RASM and CESM, we will: (i) quantify the added value of using regional models
for downscaling arctic simulations from global models, (ii) address the impacts of high resolution, improved process representations and coupling between model components
on predictions at seasonal to
decadal time scales, (iii) identify the most important processes essential
for inclusion in future high resolution GC / ESMs, e.g. ACME, using CESM as a test bed, and (iv) better quantify the relationship between skill and uncertainty in the Arctic Region
for high fidelity models.
To describe and understand the physical processes responsible
for climate variability and predictability
on seasonal, interannual,
decadal, and centennial

I ask
for a definition in part because you (Judith) seem to have defined «climate services» as occurring
on the «seasonal to
decadal time scale»... and things
on that
time scale in the past have always been called «weather».

for creating effective interventions to achieve RAER from the highest - impact household behaviors that occur
on a
decadal time scale (e.g. upgrading heating equipment, choosing a fuel - efficient vehicle, installing solar panels).

for a better Outlook and
for climate predictions
on a
decadal time scale.
The CET data
for the period indicate a distinct climate shift of some 0.35 degrees centigrade
on a 50 year basis, but rather more
on a
decadal basis, so that well documented era can usefully be our benchmark
for temperature comparisons, whilst demonstrating the usefulness of a
decadal time scale in determining a change in the climate that is «noticeable» and has an impact
on humans and nature.
The IPCC continues to undervalue the overwhelming evidence that,
on decadal and century - long
time scales, the Sun and associated atmospheric cloud effects are responsible
for much of past climate change.
