A simple method for Bayesian model averaging of regional climate model projections: Application to southeast Australian temperatures
Recent studies using regional climate models to make probabilistic projections break important new ground. However, they typically lack cross validation, pull the projections toward agreeing models (which can agree due to shared biases), and ignore model skill at reproducing internal variability when weighing the models. Here we conduct the first, to our knowledge, application of Bayesian model...
متن کاملThe Role of Climate Sensitivity and Ocean Heat Uptake on AOGCM Transient Temperature Response
The role of climate sensitivity and ocean heat uptake in determining the range of climate model response is investigated in the second phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) AOGCM results. The fraction of equilibrium warming that is realized at any one time is less in those models with higher climate sensitivity, leading to a reduction in the temperature response range at th...
متن کاملClimate simulators and climate projections
We provide a statistical interpretation of current practice in climate modelling. This includes: definitions for weather and climate; clarifying the relationship between simulator output and simulator climate; distinguishing between a climate simulator and a statistical climate model; statistical interpretation of the ubiquitous practice of anomaly correction, and a substantial generalisation (...
متن کاملA simple model to interpret the ultraviolet, optical and infrared emission from galaxies
We present a simple, largely empirical but physically motivated model to interpret the midand far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies consistently with the emission at ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared wavelengths. Our model relies on an existing angle-averaged prescription to compute the absorption of starlight by dust in stellar birth clouds and in the ambient interstellar...
متن کاملWeighting climate model projections using observational constraints
Projected climate change integrates the net response to multiple climate feedbacks. Whereas existing long-term climate change projections are typically based on unweighted individual climate model simulations, as observed climate change intensifies it is increasingly becoming possible to constrain the net response to feedbacks and hence projected warming directly from observed climate change. O...
