Sentences with phrase «seasonal cycle errors»

This statistic can be used to assess the combined contributions of both spatial pattern errors and seasonal cycle errors.

Not exact matches

If just the OLR seasonal cycle magnitude field is used, the RMSE prediction error redues to 0.32 C, or a bit lower if only 30S - 30N latitidue zone values are used.

But that seems to be in error, as the seasonal cycle described is around the trend.

A recent study by C10 analysed a number of different climate variables in a set of SMEs of HadCM3 (Gordon et al. 2000, atmosphere — ocean coupled version of HadSM3) from the point of view of global - scale model errors and climate change forcings and feedbacks, and compared them with variables derived from the CMIP3 MME. Knutti et al. (2006) examined another SME based on the HadSM3 model, and found a strong relationship between the magnitude of the seasonal cycle and climate sensitivity, which was not reproduced in the CMIP3 ensemble.
