estimates of NH mean surface temperature are largely consistent within
uncertainties, despite the differences in methodology and mix of proxy data back to approximately A.D. 1000... Conclusions are less definitive for the SH and globe, which we attribute to larger
uncertainties arising from the sparser available proxy data in the SH.

estimate all
uncertainties in the modeling and the forcings.

uncertainties of 10 — 20 % (caused by
uncertainty in predicted velocity)
when estimating time of arrival.
When someone says «
estimated... near 8.25» I become curious about the
uncertainties (that is my scientific field).
When the emission
estimates are compared over time, the resulting relative
uncertainty is generally lower than the
uncertainty of
estimates for individual years.
The population is well defined
when the model is defined and the
uncertainties of the parameter
estimates are specified.
When comparing 2017 to 2015, the smaller difference is less than the
estimated uncertainty.
Then if they are pretty sure their method is right, it should hover around the
uncertainty estimates they made and agree better with the other sets
when there is less regional variability.
The authors give some hint
when they write:» This suggests that
estimates of the net negative radiative forcing due to the total ACI can also be significantly reduced and its
uncertainty range could even include positive values.».
«
When open burning emissions, which emit high levels of organic matter, are included in the total, the best
estimate of net industrial - era climate forcing by all short - lived species from black - carbon - rich sources becomes slightly negative -LRB--0.06 W / m2 with 90 %
uncertainty bounds of -1.45 to +1.29 W / m2).
It is well known that the ERFaero, the sum of direct aerosol forcing (ERFari) and ERFaci is by far the greatest source of
uncertainty when it comes to observationally based
estimates about the transient sensitivity (TCR) and the expected warming in this century.
Because Rayner et al. (2006) and Kennedy et al. (2011b) make no attempt to
estimate temperatures in grid boxes which contain no observations, an additional
uncertainty had to be computed
when estimating area - averages.
When people talk about estimates, possibilities, large uncertainties, likelies, maybes, and suggestions; when their guesses range from 10 to 40 %, and from 1 to 80 % — they aren't saying much of anyth

In the 2009 Outlook, most
estimates overlapped each other
when their
uncertainty ranges were considered.
In other words,
when estimating the value of a fixed but unknown parameter, does the true value lie outside the specified
uncertainty range in the indicated proportion of cases?
Efficacy
uncertainties are thought (per AR5) to be a large exent allowed for
when ERF
estimates are used, except for black carbon on snow.
Spatial sampling
uncertainties were
estimated by simulating poorly sampled periods (e.g. 1753 to 1850) with modern data (1960 to 2010) for which the Earth coverage was better than 97 % complete, and measuring the departure from the full site average
when using only the limited spatial regions available at early times.
Furthermore, on these times scales the differences between MSU data sets are often not larger than published internal
uncertainty estimates for the RSS product alone and therefore may not be statistically significant
when the internal
uncertainty in each data set is taken into account.
Interestingly, one of Frame's co-authors, Myles Allen, seems now to have abandoned the Frame 05 advocacy of using a uniform prior in S
when estimating S («Quantifying and communicating
uncertainty in climate prediction» lecture at Oslo conference, 2010).
When they define sensitivity or human contribution only with respect to their
estimated forcings, it is implied that these are correct, but we know that the
uncertainty with respect to clouds, aerosols, etc is large.

When this is done, it is indeed possible to quantitatively compare the instrumental record of the past few decades with earlier
