Statistical Questions
12.Most models are deterministic, estimating the expected temperature or other component. To what extent are these models chaotic systems? How thoroughly has this been investigated?
13.For coupled ocean-atmosphere-land models, how much more likely is this to induce chaotic behavior?
14.Models depend on initial conditions often derived from remote sensing sources. How well calibrated to ground truth are these?
15.CO2 modeling shows a rapid increase in the near term. What do the models show in the longer term?
16.Given the apparent high correlation between CO2 and temperature in the model outputs, how direct is the link in the model itself?
