We can say that the GCM results (using the same input forcings and
the same modeled temperature outputs) can be matched with a zero - dimensional model with low effective climate sensitivity.
Not exact matches
More complicated feedback - response
models that use a lumped feedback parameter suggest that the
same doubling could cause average atmospheric
temperatures to rise by less than 2 F °.
In his new paper, Lovejoy applies the
same approach to the 15 - year period after 1998, during which globally averaged
temperatures remained high by historical standards, but were somewhat below most predictions generated by the complex computer
models used by scientists to estimate the effects of greenhouse - gas emissions.
A 2000 - year transient climate simulation with the Community Climate System
Model shows the
same temperature sensitivity to changes in insolation as does our proxy reconstruction, supporting the inference that this long - term trend was caused by the steady orbitally driven reduction in summer insolation.
Future projections for the
same cities are drawn from climate
models that estimate
temperature and humidity assuming global greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated.
Bringing together observed and simulated measurements on ocean
temperatures, atmospheric pressure, water soil and wildfire occurrences, the researchers have a powerful tool in their hands, which they are willing to test in other regions of the world: «Using the
same climate
model configuration, we will also study the soil water and fire risk predictability in other parts of our world, such as the Mediterranean, Australia or parts of Asia,» concludes Timmermann.
Given the inverse relationship observed between their values, it has been possible to determine the additional area of vegetation needed (in this case of green roofs) necessary to reduce the
temperature by the
same amount as it is predicted to rise in different climate change
models for Seville.
By using simulations that were created by running the
same model multiple times, with only tiny differences in the initial starting conditions, the scientists could examine the range of summertime
temperatures we might expect in the future for the «business - as - usual» and reduced - emissions scenarios.
They calculated the
temperature of each
model earth in the
same way as in the real world.
This
model can account well for the observed magnitudes of the high transition
temperatures in these materials and implies a gap that does not change sign, can be substantially anisotropic, and has the
same symmetry as the crystal.
I used was the surface
temperature responses from histAll --(histGHG + histNatural) to obtain the response to aerosols + ozone + land - use and derive the enhancement of the response for that case relative to WMGHGs that I called E. Calculation of TCR based on histAll in a
model is approximately the
same as calculating the sum of responses to histGHG, histNat, and histInhomogeneous where the latter includes the factor E.
I am very curious if the
same models with the
same paramaters also reproduce the Eemian - 110,000 years before present period where there is an almost total separation of
temperature and CO2 trends...
If you take into account that virtually all the world's concrete and asphalt which causes the positive feedback of UHI (urban heat island) was made after 1940 you could tweak up the
model inputs for solar and down for CO2 and get just the
same result for surface
temperature.
In contrast to this observational approach, Schmittner (as well as a number of other papers, like reference # 4 in this post) take advantage of both
models and observations, and try to use the observations to constrain which feedback parameters in the
model are consistent (e.g., an overly sensitive
model with the
same forcings as another
model will produce too big of a
temperature change than observations allow).
The scientists behind today's analysis used the
same 13 climate
models to investigate how often we might see a repeat of such high Arctic winter
temperatures in future as warming continues.
At the
same time, increasing depth and duration of drought, along with warmer
temperatures enabling the spread of pine beetles has increased the flammability of this forest region — http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/v1/n9/full/nclimate1293.html http://www.vancouversun.com/fires+through+tinder+pine+beetle+killed+forests/10047293/story.html Can climate
models give different TCR and ECS with different timing / extent of when or how much boreal forest burns, and how the soot generated alters the date of an ice free Arctic Ocean or the rate of Greenland ice melt and its influence on long term dynamics of the AMOC transport of heat?
In the
same paper in which he made his often - quoted «prediction» that doubling the atmospheric concentration of CO 2 would lead to an increase of 10 °C in surface mean
temperature, F. Möller makes an almost never quoted disclaimer to the effect that a 1 percent increase in general cloudiness in the
same model would completely mask this effect.
While the observed Antarctic
temperatures rose by about 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.2 degrees Celsius) over the past century, the climate
models simulated increases in Antarctic
temperatures during the
same period of 1.4 degrees F (0.75 degrees C).
As a check of this, one could comparing the climate
model simulations of
temperature change using the historical forcing runs with the
temperature change produced by the
same models under CO2 - only forcing runs * at times of equivalent total forcing change *.
Also, from the
same source: http://climateprediction.net/science/secondresults.php «Most
models still maintain a
temperature of between 13 and 14 Â °C, however some get colder — these are not stable and the heat flux calculated in phase 1 was not correct to keep the
model in balance.»

The team combined this data with meteorological
models of the
temperatures, winds, and movement of air masses from the
same time period, and then used a statistical method known as geostatistical inverse
modeling to essentially run the
model backward and determine the methane's origin.
I was referring to the plot of absolute average surface
temperatures from different
models against the projected rate of warming for 2011 to 2070 from those
same models; this is the next to last graphic from Gavin's post.
Question: If we do
model future
temperatures based on CO2 emission scenarios, then how can we target a future
temperature without targeting CO2 emissions at the
same time?
This is the
same thing that became evident when RealClimate used that broad range of outputs to explain why there are «no» clear
model - data inconsistencies regarding the tropical troposphere
temperature observations.
In Fig. 8, I have digitized the outer bounds of the
model runs in Fig. 7, and also plotted the HadCRUT3 global annual mean
temperature anomaly over the
same period.
Also, I'd think
modeling storm size would be easier than storm intensity for the
same reasons predicting average global
temperature is easier to predict than next week's weather.
So climate
modelling may not be perfect in the timing, but the end result would still be the
same level of
temperatures around 2100, so therefore we don't have any room to think emissions can continue at present levels, and the amount of carbon left to burn would not be as high as 800 gigatons.
• If you're a skeptic, and you welcome these results, please remember that these are the
same climate
models you bash when they show global
temperatures steadily rising during the next century.
I have the
same problem with the global
temperature simulations, the most recent measured data (12 years) is not trending as the
models predicted.
Certainly any increase in air
temperature from radiative forcings (apparently reasonably well
modeled in the GCMs) is going to increase the
temperature differential from ground to space, which will increase the vertical air velocity (ie increased hurricane strength) and DECREASE the residence time of energy in the air in the
same manner that GHGs increase the residence time.
Related to your arguments is an error in the
models where the surface air
temperature is the
same as the surface
temperature.
The main problem I have with Michaels is while he reasonably points out the limitations of climate
models for forecasting the next one hundred years, he then confidently makes his own forecast of warming continuing at the
same rate as for the last thirty years, leading to a 2 degree increase in global
temperature.
And indeed Dr Forest has recently confirmed that the surface
model and control - run
temperature data used in Forest 2006 was the
same as that used in CSF 2005.
The null
model is «all
temperatures are the
same everywhere every day».
This means the global mean
temperature (GMST) response to the aggregate forcing applying during the historical period (actually, 1906 — 2005) was identical, in the
model, to the response to the
same forcing from CO2 only.
I like to keep things simple, so you take the three points of the triangle in the
model as representing a flat triangle, move the triangle corners to match the three measured
temperatures, then place each point within the triangle at the
same distance above or below the triangle as it is in the
model.
Canadian Ice Service, 4.7 (+ / - 0.2), Heuristic / Statistical (
same as June) The 2015 forecast was derived by considering a combination of methods: 1) a qualitative heuristic method based on observed end - of - winter Arctic ice thickness extents, as well as winter Surface Air
Temperature, Sea Level Pressure and vector wind anomaly patterns and trends; 2) a simple statistical method, Optimal Filtering Based
Model (OFBM), that uses an optimal linear data filter to extrapolate the September sea ice extent timeseries into the future and 3) a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) prediction system that tests ocean, atmosphere and sea ice predictors.
Then again, Bjorn Stevens was in the crew advocating «adjustments» since surface
temperature Ts plus sst isn't the
same as tas produced by the
models plus «surface»
temperature has some Zeroth law issues.
Whatever you think about climate
model non-linearity, those
same models linearly project air
temperature.
Back in 2008 Santer with much the
same group of co-authors (Thorne, Wigley, Solomon...) published a paper «Consistency of
modelled and observed
temperature trends in the tropical troposphere» where they said that
models and observations were consistent (in response to a paper of Douglas et al).
All the
models had access to the
same sea surface
temperature data, so Trenberth's
temperature anomalies were never a critical factor that could explain
model differences.
SAW is a
model, which you flatly contradict, pretending that it's the
same thing as detrended
temperature, which it isn't.
Specifically, the cloud cover is multiplied by the factor 1 + c T, where T, computed every time step, is the deviation of the global mean surface air
temperature from the long - term mean in the
model control run at the
same point in the seasonal cycle and c is an empirical constant.
Yes, Dyson doesn't put as much faith in mathmatical
models as some (despite the fact that actual
temperature measurements fall within the confidence bands of those
same models), but let's DO pay attention to what Dyson actually says, but with just a bit more detail:
The
same input data was given to the both
models and the compared variable was road surface
temperature.
Christy is correct to note that the
model average warming trend (0.23 °C / decade for 1978 - 2011) is a bit higher than observations (0.17 °C / decade over the
same timeframe), but that is because over the past decade virtually every natural influence on global
temperatures has acted in the cooling direction (i.e. an extended solar minimum, rising aerosols emissions, and increased heat storage in the deep oceans).
Used in opposition to «global average
temperatures» from those
same models, as discussed in the previous paragraph.
Models predict that the
same summertime
temperatures that ranked among the top 5 % in 1950 — 1979 will occur at least 70 % of the time by 2035 — 2064 in the U.S. if global emissions of greenhouse gases grow at a moderate rate (as
modeled under the IPCC SRES A2 scenario).
(That's exactly the
same as the difference between measured
temperature and the
models» calculated man - made contribution to
temperature).
