Confronting Models with Data
APRIL 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he use of data to evaluate models is fundamental to science. Ideally, evaluations can be controlled and optimized in the laboratory; in most cases, however, atmospheric scientists have to perform model–data intercomparisons by taking advantage of the uncontrolled opportunities that nature provides. A model-evaluation project is complicated in at le...
متن کاملSome Key Issues Confronting Inflationary Cosmology
Does inflation provide a compelling explanation for why the universe is so large, so flat, and so old, and a predictive theory of density perturbations? In this brief contribution (based on the role of the author as moderator of the discussion session on inflation), a list of some of the key issues confronting inflationary cosmology will be given, with the hope of focusing the debate on inflati...
متن کاملConfronting Braneworld Cosmology with Supernova data and Baryon Oscillations
Braneworld cosmology has several attractive and distinctive features. For instance the effective equation of state in braneworld models can be both quintessence-like (w0 ≥ −1) as well as phantomlike (w0 ≤ −1). Models with w0 ≥ −1 (w0 ≤ −1) are referred to as Brane 2 (Brane 1) and correspond to complementary embeddings of the brane in the bulk. (The equation of state in Brane 1 can successfully ...
متن کاملConfronting Dark Energy Models with Astrophysical Data
We discuss fits of cosmological dark energy models to the available data on high-redshift supernovae and baryon oscillations. We consider a conventional model with Cold Dark Matter and a cosmological constant (ΛCDM), a model invoking super-horizon perturbations (SHDM) and models based on Liouville strings in which dark energy is provided by a rolling dilaton field (Q-cosmology). The two main hi...
متن کاملConfronting Substellar Theoretical Models with Stellar Ages
By definition, brown dwarfs never reach the main-sequence, cooling and dimming over their entire lifetime, thus making substellar models challenging to test because of the strong dependence on age. Currently, most brown dwarfs with independently determined ages are companions to nearby stars, so stellar ages are at the heart of the effort to test substellar models. However, these models are onl...
