Verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification in scientific computing
by Judith Curry I think I am gaining some insight into the debate between scientists versus engineers regarding climate model verification and validation.

Climate model verification and validation: Part II
I’m starting a new thread for this topic, since interest in the previous thread has re-generated owing to this AGU abstract by Steve Easterbrook, entitled Do Over or Make Do? Climate Models as a Software Development Challenge.

Climate model verification and validation
by Judith Curry On the thread building confidence in climate models , a small amount of text was devoted to verification and validation (V&V). In raising the level of the game, I included the following bullet: • Fully documented verification … Continue reading

What’s the worst case? A possibilistic approach
by Judith Curry Are all of the ‘worst-case’ climate scenarios and outcomes described in assessment reports, journal publications and the media plausible? Are some of these outcomes impossible? On the other hand, are there unexplored worst-case scenarios that we have … Continue reading

Manufacturing consensus: the early history of the IPCC
by Judith Curry Short summary: scientists sought political relevance and allowed policy makers to put a big thumb on the scale of the scientific assessment of the attribution of climate change.

Dust deposition on ice sheets: a mechanism for termination of ice ages?
by Donald Rapp In a recent paper, Ellis and Palmer (2016) proposed that deposition of dust on giant ice sheets, thus reducing their albedo, was a principal factor in the termination of Ice Ages over the past 800 kyrs.
