Models doing well predicting temperatures:

HOW GOOD ARE THE CLIMATE MODELS? In blue is the average of 40 of the top climate models. The lighter shading shows the range of results. Here is plotted the result for July 2023 - the models seem to be underestimating the surface temperature but its well within the uncertainties.



So if you only pick the top 40 all's good. Until maybe next year and we will have another Top 40. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Of course we can't check the Top 40 is sacrosanct and cannot be named. Wink

Another thing that will happen as AGW heats the globe: more hail falls and bigger hailstones.



Well the BBC says "maybe".

"Rising global temperatures might be causing hailstorms to become more violent, with larger chunks of ice and more intense downpours"

...

"As the planet continues to warm, areas where hailstorms are favoured are likely to shift," says Brimelow. "An area now where sufficient moisture is a limiting factor may become more moist and consequently, hailstorm frequency may increase."

"A combination of observations of changes already taking place and climate modelling has led researchers to conclude that hailstorms will become more frequent in Australia and Europe, but there will be a decrease in East Asia and North America. But they also found that hailstorms will become generally more intense."


https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220314-how-big-can-hailstones-grow

From the linked study -

"Here, using a novel modelling approach, we investigate the spatiotemporal changes in hail frequency and size between the present (1971–2000) and future (2041–2070)."

Monk lives too close to Antarctica.
he lives in the roaring 40s -  (he is at -43 degrees latitude )-
the vast circumpolar currents and winds that encircle the world in the Southern ocean.
Nowhere else in the world comes close to the harsh climate of the roaring 40s.
He lives there with a tropical dog called Socks.

The changing hail threat over North America in response to anthropogenic climate change


Abstract

Anthropogenic climate change is anticipated to increase severe thunderstorm potential in North America, but the resulting changes in associated convective hazards are not well known. Here, using a novel modelling approach, we investigate the spatiotemporal changes in hail frequency and size between the present (1971–2000) and future (2041–2070). Although fewer hail days are expected over most areas in the future, an increase in the mean hail size is projected, with fewer small hail events and a shift toward a more frequent occurrence of larger hail. This leads to an anticipated increase in hail damage potential over most southern regions in spring, retreating to the higher latitudes (that is, north of 50° N) and the Rocky Mountains in the summer. In contrast, a dramatic decrease in hail frequency and damage potential is predicted over eastern and southeastern regions in spring and summer due to a significant increase in melting that mitigates gains in hail size from increased buoyancy.

Thanks to lees for finding these interesting article supporting my post on hail."

But he still agrees with the "novel modelling approach". Wink

We are starting to see “atmospheric rivers” and those result in the dumping of HUGE amounts of rain—a warming planet with warming oceans sees more evaporation followed inevitably by precipitation.


"atmospheric river, any long, narrow, and concentrated horizontal corridor of moisture in Earth’s troposphere. Such formations transport vast amounts of water vapor—at flow rates more than double that of the Amazon River—and heat from tropical regions near the Equator toward the middle and higher latitudes. They serve as the primary source of horizontal water transport in the midlatitudes, providing more than half of the precipitation to coastal areas in parts of Europe, North America, South America, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia and facilitating the movement of more than 90 percent of the world’s moisture from the tropics to the poles. Most atmospheric rivers can be found in the North Pacific, Atlantic, southeastern Pacific, and South Atlantic oceans away from the tropics, and they produce moderate amounts of rain and snow. However, some atmospheric rivers are responsible for extreme precipitation and flooding events that may last up to several days in some regions. An average of four to five atmospheric rivers are active in Earth’s atmosphere at any given time."

"A new study using NASA data shows that a recently developed rating system can provide a consistent global benchmark for tracking these “rivers in the sky.” "

...

"In the new study, scientists built a database of global atmospheric river events from 1980 to 2020, using a computer algorithm to automatically identify tens of thousands of the events in the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2), a NASA re-analysis of historical atmospheric observations."

So they re-analysed weather, with a model, and found, surprise, surprise, it is worse than we thought. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Maybe that is why the El Nino last summer was such a wet, cool El Nino?


And nothing to do with huge amounts of water projected by a certain volcano. What goes up, must come down. Wink

Abstract
The Southern Ocean plays an important role in determining atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), yet estimates of air-sea CO2 flux for the region diverge widely. In this study, we constrained Southern Ocean air-sea CO2 exchange by relating fluxes to horizontal and vertical CO2 gradients in atmospheric transport models and applying atmospheric observations of these gradients to estimate fluxes. Aircraft-based measurements of the vertical atmospheric CO2 gradient provide robust flux constraints. We found an annual mean flux of –0.53 ± 0.23 petagrams of carbon per year (net uptake) south of 45°S during the period 2009–2018. This is consistent with the mean of atmospheric inversion estimates and surface-ocean partial pressure of CO2 (Pco2)–based products, but our data indicate stronger annual mean uptake than suggested by recent interpretations of profiling float observations.

Lack of real science posts there backed by links etc to authoritative websites (Nature etc journals, ABC, BBC, NASA/NOAA/Copernicus etc etc) means OzPol is sinking in the SEO rankings so people looking for a discussion board see other boards long before OzPol pops up in the listings on page 13 or so.

THAT is why OzPol is headed down the gurgler—an idiot is in charge of an important MRB. [/quote]

Now the BBC and ABC are authoritative. They only repeat, which doesn't make them authorities on anything. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
