New climate computer model released
UPI ^ | 8/19/2010

BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Climate scientists say new computer simulation software released by U.S. researchers will be a primary tool as they prepare to study climate change models.

The Community Earth System Model from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., will be one of the primary climate models used for the next assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a National Science Foundation release said Wednesday.

The CESM is the latest in a series of global models developed during the past 30 years, jointly supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. It was developed by scientists and engineers at NCAR, Department of Energy laboratories, and several universities, the release said.

"The Community Earth System Model is yet another step toward representing improved physics and biogeochemistry in a coupled model," Anjuli Bamzai, program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, said. "As our understanding of climate-relevant processes improves, it is imperative to represent these processes in the model."

The new model's advanced capabilities will help scientists shed new light on some of the critical mysteries of global warming, researchers say.

The CESM, freely available to researchers worldwide, can be used to simulate the many components of Earth's climate system, including the oceans, atmosphere, sea ice and land cover.

Climate scientists rely on computer models to understand Earth's climate system because they cannot conduct large-scale experiments on the atmosphere itself.

Remember those models we built as kids. We know they weren’t real but it was fun to pretend they were..............

I bet they based their model on NASA satellite temperature readings

I wish they would develop a “computer model” that would accurately tell us what the weather is going to be like tomorrow.

How many months of the year does the new model predict temperatures of the Great Lakes to be above 600 degrees F?

Oh, wonderful, yet another discrete model of a continuous non-linear dynamical system.

Models can say a lot of things. Actual data interpreted through established principles come to stronger conclusions.

No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)

That article takes Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.

The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'

It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming

Those four articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

That article pretty much puts the kibosh on any serious trend of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign at all of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? Beyond the centuries long slow warming of the earth and rising of the seas of course. But that is only a few millimeters per century due to the inter-glacial period we are in.

Heh, no doubt.

Who wants to bet that those terrestrial weather stations are still bolted to the sides of rooftop A/C units and such, too.

markomalley: "the old model didn't give the results they want. What to do? Change the model."

Bingo.
The new model's advanced capabilities will help scientists shed new light on some of the critical mysteries of global warming, researchers say.
Thanks markomalley.

"biogeochemistry"

Any chaos in that?

Discrete models can in fact work well for non-linear continuous systems. That's not the real issue. The real issue is that
(a) they use climate sensitivities to CO2 which are 200-300% larger than values independently calculated from the physics,
(b) they ignore the variations in the sun's effect,
(c) they can't model clouds and cloud formation accurately, which is a big problem since clouds block most of the incoming energy from the sun during the day, and trap heat at night.
