When I responded to the RealClimate article, here, I inter alia presented further evidence that LU forcing hadn't been included in the computed value of the total forcing applied in the Historical simulation: there was virtually no trace of LU forcing in
the spatial pattern for Historical forcing.

For example, children classify objects (stacking blocks by shape or sorting them by color); measure things («This cloth isn't big enough to cover the table»); count just about anything (coins, candy, people, toys, and so on); transform objects (stretching dough and making a flat circular shape); recognize
patterns and shapes (building a symmetrical structure by putting a two unit block over two blocks); and explore
spatial relations (finding a location or following directions).

[3] The importance of this contribution has been rapidly acknowledged within the scientific community and has prompted an entirely new trajectory of kelp forest research, particularly emphasizing the potential
for a
spatial refuge from climate change also the explanations to evolutionary
patterns of kelps worldwide.
Although both sources of data were originally developed
for other objectives — oceanographic research and safety at sea — these data streams provide valuable information
for evaluation of
spatial use
patterns.
Andrade is widely known
for her contributions to the field of Op Art, but unlike the retinal interventions of her contemporaries Victor Vasarely or Bridget Riley, Andrade's meditative, geometric abstractions developed towards explorations of
pattern networks,
spatial abstractions of architectonic volumes, and landscapes.
Focusing mainly on
patterns, I reorganize motion in an attempt to look at time in
spatial terms, using the
pattern itself as the framework
for temporally redistributing all of the surrounding activity.
Spatial tensions rise through shifts in chromatic temperature, and with stencils, folds, and other tools she allows
for new
patterns to emerge, forming visual records of her decisions, thoughts, and actions.
Organized as part of the Shiseido Art Egg Prize
for artists in their 20s and 30s, Shunsuke Imai «s exhibition of colorful, hard - edged abstractions at the Shiseido Art Gallery achieved a
spatial resonance that is exceedingly rare among young Japanese painters, distorting the atmosphere of the gallery itself through dizzying combinations of eye - popping yellows, pinks, blues, whites and blacks arranged in billowing, flag - like stripe
patterns that grudgingly squeezed into the two - dimensional plane of the canvas.
This approach may not be useful
for quantitative reconstructions of past
spatial patterns of climate fields, e.g. surface temperature, sea level pressure, drought, etc..
Natural variations of the amplitude and
spatial pattern of ENSO are so large that confidence in any projected change
for the 21st century remains low.
Different time spans (in the range 10 — 50 yr)
for the EOF
spatial patterns, and different geographical distributions

The interest in these records is
for what they can tell us about natural variability,
spatial patterns of change, responses to solar or volcanic forcing, teleconnections etc. — it's all interesting and useful, but it is nothing like as important as the outside interest shown in these studies might suggest.
(I don't know how you could scientifically use data on village movements without comprehensive
spatial and temporal data on other sites to determine a general
pattern for permafrost wrt global warming, but I thought it might interest you.)
It is striking to what extent they resemble the
spatial pattern seen in the AR4 ensemble free - running version rather than the initiallised forecast, though there are also some correlations there too (
for instance, west of the Antarctic peninsula, related to the ozone - hole and GHG related increase in the Southern Annular Mode).
For example the increasing trend in the coherent NHSM decadal precipitation shown in the paper (Figure S3B: the
spatial pattern and associated principal component time series of the EOF) in fact suggest a weakening over recent decades in much of India and East Asia.
We provide a list of issues that need to be addressed to make inferences more defensible, including the consideration of (i) data limitations and the comparability of data sets; (ii) alternative mechanisms
for change; (iii) appropriate response variables; (iv) a suitable model
for the process under study; (v) temporal autocorrelation; (vi)
spatial autocorrelation and
patterns; and (vii) the reporting of rates of change.
For those forcings that have been included in attribution analyses, uncertainties associated with the temporal and
spatial pattern of the forcing and the modelled response can affect the results.
Assuming the
spatial patterns of the warming shown by the GISS LOTI data are close to being correct, then the differences with the lower troposphere data appear to show that lower troposphere temperature data would be of questionable value
for infilling the HADCRUT4 data.
The differences in the warming
spatial patterns are even more pronounced
for the period of 1997 to 2012.
The next step was to look
for the
spatial pattern of the shift.
A top - down climate effect that shows long - term drift (and may also be out of phase with the bottom - up solar forcing) would change the
spatial response
patterns and would mean that climate - chemistry models that have sufficient resolution in the stratosphere would become very important
for making accurate regional / seasonal climate predictions.
FHX2 - Software

spatial patterns in fire regimes from tree rings.
Owing to the decreased number of
spatial degrees of freedom in the earliest reconstructions (associated with significantly decreased calibrated variance before e.g. 1730
for annual - mean and cold - season, and about 1750
for warm - season
pattern reconstructions) regional inferences are most meaningful in the mid 18th century and later, while the largest - scale averages are useful further back in time.

Unlike the case
for plants, no
spatial patterns were found
for animal remains, likely due the animals» more vagile and ubiquitous distribution.
In addition to magnitude variations, the details of the
spatial pattern of P anomalies can differ from one ensemble member to another:
for example, France and Great Britain show negative P anomalies in simulation 14 and positive P anomalies in simulation 25.
«The authors write that North Pacific Decadal Variability (NPDV) «is a key component in predictability studies of both regional and global climate change,»... they emphasize that given the links between both the PDO and the NPGO with global climate, the accurate characterization and the degree of predictability of these two modes in coupled climate models is an important «open question in climate dynamics» that needs to be addressed... report that model - derived «temporal and
spatial statistics of the North Pacific Ocean modes exhibit significant discrepancies from observations in their twentieth - century climate... conclude that «
for implications on future climate change, the coupled climate models show no consensus on projected future changes in frequency of either the first or second leading
pattern of North Pacific SST anomalies,» and they say that «the lack of a consensus in changes in either mode also affects confidence in projected changes in the overlying atmospheric circulation.»»
For example, while El Niño or El Niño - like decadal variability results in unusually warm annual temperatures, the
spatial pattern associated with such a warming is more structured, with cooling in the North Pacific and South Pacific (see, e.g., Zhang et al., 1997).
The simulated three - dimensional
spatial pattern of the temperature changes induced by increasing concentrations of a well - mixed greenhouse gas, such as carbon dioxide, is complicated and varies from model to model, but one common aspect is the tendency
for the lower to mid-troposphere to warm more rapidly than the surface, except over high latitudes.
Land cover information is critical
for local, state, and federal managers and officials to assist them with issues such as assessing ecosystem status and health, modeling nutrient and pesticide runoff, understanding

There are instances, however, of regional improvement in the
spatial pattern of temperature extremes at the higher resolution of CRCM15 (e.g., the CLIMDEX index
for the annual number of days when TX > 25 °C).
Spatial trend
patterns differ
for the warm and cold extremes, with the warm extremes showing continuous positive trends across the globe and the cold extremes exhibiting a coherent cooling
pattern across the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes that has emerged in the recent 15 years and is not reproduced by the models.
