Because the neutron decays on a
time scale similar to the period for BBN, accurate
simulations of the BBN era require thorough knowledge of the neutron lifetime, the average
time required for a neutron to decay, but this value is still not precisely known.

The
time average makes sense only if you are sure to have caught all variability
time -
scale in the average (i.e., that they are all smaller than 30 years, say)-- I've never seen clearly where this assumption comes from, apart from computer
simulations, which are NOT reliable for this kind of physics.
Less certain is the
time scale, with the onset of rapid (> 1 mm per year of sea - level rise) collapse in the different

Any atmosphere / ocean coupled model worth its salt should have phenomena similar to these as emergent from

simulation with the Earth System model MPI ‐ ESM ‐ P AOGCM.
Roger could reply again by stating that models that don't show skill in projecting changing statistics can not be used for this reasoning by
simulation, but I remain to disgree with him: the skill of climate models to project changing climate statistics at decadal
time scales can formally not be established due to large role of natural variability, but is also not always required for generating useful information that enters the imagination process.
Interpretation of climate model
simulations has emphasized the existence of plateaus or hiatus in the warming for
time scales of up to 15 - 17 years; longer periods have not been previously anticipated, and the IPCC AR4 clearly expected a warming of 0.2 C per decade for the early part of the 21st century.
A unified treatment of weather and climate models (i.e. the same dynamical cores for the atmosphere and ocean are used for models across the range of
time scales) transfers confidence from the weather and seasonal climate forecast models to the climate models used in century
scale simulations.
Within the confines of our work with RASM and CESM, we will: (i) quantify the added value of using regional models for downscaling arctic
simulations from global models, (ii) address the impacts of high resolution, improved process representations and coupling between model components on predictions at seasonal to decadal
time scales, (iii) identify the most important processes essential for inclusion in future high resolution GC / ESMs, e.g. ACME, using CESM as a test bed, and (iv) better quantify the relationship between skill and uncertainty in the Arctic Region for high fidelity models.
Analyses of tide gauge and altimetry data by Vinogradov and Ponte (2011), which indicated the presence of considerably small spatial

This external control is demonstrated by ensembles of model

The interannual variability in the individual

The weather prediction model used in this research is advantageous because it assesses details about future climate at a smaller geographic

You probably also noticed that for the simulated AR (1) process, the estimated
time scale is consistently less than the true value (which for the
simulations, is known to be exactly 5 years, or 60 months), and that the estimate decreases as lag increases.
In fact, both
simulations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that for 125 years of a genuine AR (1) process, if the
time scale were 30 years (not an unrealistic value for global climate), we would expect the estimate from autocorrelation values to be less than half the true value.
We ran 5
simulations of an AR (1) process with a 5 - year
