Using the known amplification of the solar cycle (and presumably the long term trend) in the UV band, allowing stratospheric temperatures and circulation

In addition, it also uses knowledge about the physics of sea level rise: it determines the components of the global sea - level rise (e.g. the contribution
from ice melt in Greenland and Antarctica) taking into account the knowledge about the
spatial pattern, the so - called «fingerprint» associated with each of these components.

«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.»»
The widespread trend of increasing heavy downpours is expected to continue, with precipitation becoming less frequent but more intense.13, 14,15,16 The
patterns of the projected changes of precipitation do not contain the

from multiple models and because the effective resolution of global climate models is roughly 100 - 200 miles.
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

There is new information that lack of sea ice causes storms to produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities
from erosion such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap have been largely unsuccessful.23 There remains considerable uncertainty, however, about the
spatial patterns of future coastal erosion.
