System Models News Today

A group of scientists from the University of Oxford developed a new algorithm that reduces spin-up time by 90%, allowing for faster and more reliable climate predictions. The research was published in the journal Science Advances.

<p>The way science is funded is hampering Earth System Models and may be skewing important climate predictions, according to a new comment published in <em>Nature Climate Change </em>by Woodwell Climate Research Center and an international team of model experts.</p>

Open access notables Its always a special pleasure to note an article including Skeptical Sciences founder John Cook in the author roster. Misinformation and the epistemic integrity of democracy includes not only Cook as a collaborator but also a cast of other familiar authorities on human cognition in connection with climate science, in particlar how our mental equipment struggles with following a continuous thread of truth through a tangled knot of disconnected confusion in the form of mi...

Open access notables Among five items in this weeks government/NGO section is Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratorys annual report Utility-Scale Solar, 2023 Edition, chock-a-block with statistics and graphs quantifying an explosion of installed permanent  energy sources. Photovoltaic deployment is accelerating and now outpacing wind as costs have rapidly plunged. Given the natural properties of wind and solar energy supplies, reserve power storage is very much in frame. ...

Open access notables Multiple studies indicate changes in the properties of Antarctic bottom water (AABW) over the past half century. These changes involve density and hence will affect both local and distant circulation of the oceans, not least overturning effects that are vital for marine biology but also climate and weather far distant from Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. While we can see whats happening, our understanding of whats driving change is incomplete. By synthesizing multiple obs...

ABU DHABI, 1st February, 2022 (WAM) -- After four years of planning, analysis, design and implementation, the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has executed a Digital Transformation programme applying Enterprise Architecture (EA) practices to qualify for the finals at the ICMG Global Awards, from 8th to 11th February, 2022, in New York, USA. What started as an ambitious goal to become a world-class innovative customer-centric pension service provider has now turned into globa...

Carbon-climate feedbacks, which amplifies or attenuates atmospheric CO2 from fossil fuel emissions, are one of the largest sources of uncertainty in climate projections. However, these feedbacks depend both on temperature and its coupling to water and energy cycles, especially in the tropics. We show that atmospheric aridity - quantified as vapor pressure deficit (VPD) - is a good proxy for this coupling. Tropical VPD is strongly correlated to the global CO2 growth rate (CGR) with observed prese...
