«I had been watching several weather models for several days which had been indicating this area would have an environment capable of supporting supercells, the type of storm responsible for tornadoes,» he says.

Not exact matches

They said the real strength of the Jacobson study — now in press at the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres — is that it relies on a new computer model of climate, air pollution and weather that accounts for several different ways black carbon influences the environment.

In the past several years, researchers have used AI systems to help them to rank climate models, spot cyclones and other extreme weather events — in both real and modelled climate data — and identify new climate patterns.

It's just that the noise within the models is not correlated in time with the real noise; getting that right would be like predicting the weather several years out.

When the weathermen can't accurately predict the weather out more than a few days at best, why should anyone believe that global warming models going out even several decades are reliable?

About 1980ish, some old ideas like the greenhouse effect were brought out of mothballs and re-examined with new tools and techniques; simultaneously several researchers and theoreticians released their notes, published, or otherwise got together and there was a surprising consilience and not a small amount of mixing with old school hippy ecologism on some of the topics that became the roots of Climate Change science (before it was called Global Warming); innovations in mathematics were also applied to climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather models.

Training consisted of running the model repeatedly over several days using as input eight years of Albuquerque's historical weather data taken from NREL's SOLMET database.

Good straightforward tests of the model would require data that extends over a period covering several periods of «climate» as opposed to weather or oscillations that the model is not even supposed to present correctly.

I have used weather model output extensively for forecasting weather and air quality and it is amazing how well our modern weather models can forecast the weather for several days compared to what I saw in college days in the early 1970's.

Several days ago, Andy Revkin did a nice post querying a number of weather forecasters and researchers about the relative merits of the different forecast models [link], particularly since everyone seemed to be paying attention to the European model (ECMWF) rather than NOAA's GFS model.

We have also developed computer models that predict body temperatures to within several degrees using data from weather stations and satellites, and current efforts under way in David Wethey's lab will eventually allow us to predict patterns of temperature on a global basis.

There's now strong agreement on several of the weather and climate patterns that future Arctic sea ice loss will create, provided that the right types of climate models are put on the task — models that capture the interplay among atmosphere, oceans, and sea ice.
