Sentences with phrase «uncertainty in the observations»

Nevertheless, if structural uncertainties in observations and models are fully accounted for, a partial resolution of the long - standing «differential warming» problem has now been achieved.

Model forecasts are verified against model control simulations (perfect model experiments), thus overcoming to some extent issues of uncertainties in the observations and / or model parameterizations.

However, the ability to interpret some changes, particularly for non-temperature variables, is limited by uncertainties in the observations, physical understanding of the climate system, climate models and external forcing estimates.

These pictures confront us with the task of distinguishing uncertainties in observation from the transience of appearances.

The large structural uncertainties in observations hamper our ability to determine how well models simulate the tropospheric temperature changes that actually occurred over the satellite era.

In Sect. 2, we describe the model ensembles and the application of the rank histogram approach, including a description of the statistical method used to define the reliability of model ensembles from the rank histogram, and a method for handling uncertainties in the observations.

We consider uncertainties in the observations by using two independent datasets, listed in Table 3 of Y12.

MSU - TMT trends have a lot of structural uncertainty in the observations (note the differences in trends between the UAH and RSS products).

In addition, patterns in the data may be modeled in a way that accounts for randomness and uncertainty in the observations, and then used to draw inferences about the process or population being studied; this is called inferential statistics.

Ideally, studies account for model uncertainty, forcing uncertainty (for example, in aerosol forcing εaer or natural forcing εnat), uncertainty in observations, εobs, and internal climate variability («noise»).

Additionally, it's important to make a good estimate of the uncertainty in the observations.

Additionally, the uncertainty in the observations in the earth's energy balance is significant.

«A review of sources of systematic errors and uncertainties in observations and simulations at 183 GHz.»

Critcisms of the energy budget model approach are that it is sensitive to uncertainties in observations and doesn't account for slow feedbacks between the atmosphere, deep oceans and ice sheets.

However natural variability and uncertainties in the observations and forcings mean that the issue is far from clear - cut.
