Where can clouds go wrong?

Address question using:
• Bayesian inference
• Stochastic sampling– Simulated annealing to focus sampling– Multiple search attempts for uncertainties
Are current approaches to climatemodel development convergent?

Target: Match observed climate 1990-2001
One 11-year climate model integration takes 11 hours over 64 processors of an Intel-based compute cluster.

Results
• Analysis of top six performing model configurations
• T42 CAM3.1, forced by observed SST March 1990 to February 2001.
• ~400 experiments completed (so far).

Convergence in predictions of global means does not imply predictions
are correct.

Conclusions• Stochastic optimization of CAM3.1
suggests the model may provide convergent results of global mean predictions.– Assumes parameters tested are key sources
of uncertainty.– Hadley Center model supports inference.– Unanticipated gains in model skill.
• Important differences at regional scales remain.

Each parameter affects many aspects of the model
![Page 21: Uncertainty Quantification in Climate Prediction Charles Jackson (1) Mrinal Sen (1) Gabriel Huerta (2) Yi Deng (1) Ken Bowman (3) (1)Institute for Geophysics,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/5697c02c1a28abf838cd8ecb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There are multiple ways to combine parameter values to yield better model skill.
