modellers

To handle this potential for initial instability, climate modellers create “spin-up” runs: pick some starting state, run the model for say 30 years of simulation, until it has settled down to a stable climate, and then use the state at the end of the spin-up run as the starting point for science experiments.

Climate modellers tend to be very nervous about use of their models for future predictions, but people outside this community often over-sell the ability of the models.

I was rather struck by the attitude of the modellers at the Hadley centre at the meetings I sat in on last summer in the early planning stages for the next IPCC reports – basically, it was “how can we get the requested runs out of the way quickly so that we can get back to doing our science”.

The assessors selected the 100 most pressing threats and opportunities and rated these according to their impact, the confidence of the modellers, and how soon the threats might occur.

While the death toll continued to rıse, it looked increasingly likely to remain below the estimates of earthquake modellers.

Like many software projects, climate modellers struggle to keep good, up-to-date documentation, but generally feel they should be doing better.
