The Good Looking Models
Posted on 21. Oct, 2008 by dimaks in News
Good Looking Models? I think I got some of them in store now, but definitely not the human type or gadgets that you have been dreaming of.
In this post, you will be introduced to a different kind of Good Looking Models – within the domain of climate change. Hmn, so what were you thinking huh?
Apparently, there have been some skeptics who often argue that the currently prevailing predictions about global warming, droughts and other related natural occurrences are but results of computer simulations and models and thus, they are not based on experimental science. But a paper by Thomas Reichler and Junsu Kim titled “How Well do Coupled Models Simulate Today’s Climate?” published in April’s Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, brought new light to the cascading sheets of debates on the matter. Reichler and Kim;
…compared the output of climate models against observations of the present climate. They applied this simple-seeming method to about fifty different national and international climate models that have been developed over the past twenty years by researchers at major climate research centres in Australia, Canada, France, Korea, Russia, UK, and USA. Within their meta-analysis were predictions from the model used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 2007 report.
With results bearing close to real situation scenarios, Reichler and Kim’s efforts brought new image of trust on the computational climate models that have been going around the research arena for quiet sometime, hence, the Good Looking Models. It is also called as “Coupled Models” – bearing the two main sets of data being compared for a more consolidated model results.
Reichler further said that;
…and the best models are now capable of simulating present-day climate with accuracy approaching conventional atmospheric observations.” He adds that, “We can now place a much higher level of confidence in model-based projections of climate change than in the past.
With the underlying complexities in studying the evolution of climate, the researchers of Good Looking Models agreed that even though their method of analysis may bring more credible results, the way to knowing the exact projections of nature’s behavior is still far-fetched.

Hope this model can more or less protect the world global warming.

Gla Nature,
hopefully it will. the truth is, we really cant stop the globe from warming up further.. we just can retard or delay it. thanks for coming by here.
