Abstract:
|
Climate models do not predict weather. Rather, they predict the distribution of weather. Often climate is described as average weather, but it is really much more than that. Climate models also must describe extremes. In this roundtable we will discuss how, from a statistical point of view, one can compare climate models to data, and what data are appropriate for such comparisons.
