Full definition
He notes that the paper has very
large uncertainty levels on the graph detailing the key findings of the paper (see figure above).
It's the average that's meaningful, because the process of averaging reduces the inherently
large uncertainty level.
We can compute them for each data series separately, and also
compute uncertainty levels for those estimates (which are corrected for the influence of autocorrelation, confidence intervals are 2 - sigma):
Further estimates of internal variability can be produced from long control simulations with climate models... Expert judgments or multi-model techniques may be used to incorporate as far as possible the range of variability in climate models and to
assign uncertainty levels, confidence in which will need to be assessed.»
Going back to January 2001, the next -
largest uncertainty level is 0.21 °C, and the average uncertainty is less than 0.1 °C.
«It's fair to say that risk markets have built in
an uncertainty level of anticipation.
Around the election,
uncertainty levels were high.
What's worse about the new situation, though, is that it raises

your uncertainty level.
The uncertainty levels in April and May 2010 are 2.8 °C and 2.9 °C, respectively.
You know,
the uncertainty levels BEST has admitted knowing are smaller than they ought to be...
While the other data have
uncertainty levels around 0.1 deg.C, those two months have uncertainty levels of 2.8 and 2.9 deg.C.
Because of this, all those trend estimates have
uncertainty levels.
