What's that? Climate predictions, you say? Okay!

Climate predictions made 20 years ago compared to the world that actually happened.

Got a call to visit the work post room as there was a parcel for me… (first time in 10+years!)

It was a book, sent to contributing authors I presume, of papers that came out of an ISSI workshop in 2022.

It’s easy to forget that journals often still have physical copies… a joy to flick through.

Fantastic to have spent two days at Leeds discussing physical climate science with new and old colleagues. Looking forward to the opportunities ahead @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social.

And it’s great to be back where it all began 20 odd years ago as a student, but now on the other side of the fence…

I think there is some automated diagnostic effort now. Fairly sure Gregory plots are included in ESMValTool for cmip6 and for cmip7 it’s in the Rapid Evaluation Framework…

I should clarify our physical model HadGEM will be. It might not be true for our earth system submission to CMIP7 e.g UKESM.

One CMIP iteration at a time. CMIP6 we solved the Dec 1st start date annoyance. CMIP7 (partly) the 360 day calendar.

Slowly but surely…. What do you want for CMIP8?

Tim Andrews @tim-andrews.bsky.social · Jun 16

I should add a clarification that this might not be true for earth system submission to CMIP7 e.g UKESM. But the physical model HadGEM has moved to Gregorian.

Slowly but surely….

Tim Andrews @tim-andrews.bsky.social · Jun 16

You’ll be pleased to hear that our next model for CMIP7 submission will use a Gregorian calendar…
