RealClimate: What's good (and what's not quite ready) about plans for 'k-scale' climate modeling? Two opinion pieces (, and ) and a supportive were published this week, extolling the prospects for what they call "k-scale" climate modeling. These are models that would have grid boxes around 1 to 2 km in the horizontal - some 50| RealClimate | Climate science from climate scientists...

RealClimate: Rapid progress in the use of machine learning for weather and climate models is evident almost everywhere, but can we distinguish between real advances and vaporware? First off, let's define some terms to maximize clarity. Machine Learning (ML) is a broad term to distinguish any kind of statistical fitting of large data sets to complicated| RealClimate | Climate science from climate scientists...

I attended a two-day AMOC session at the IUGG Conference the week before last, there's been interesting new papers, and in the light of that I have been changing| RealClimate | Climate science from climate scientists...
RealClimate: A new paper was published in Science Advances today. Its title says what it is about: "Physics-based early warning signal shows that AMOC is on tipping course." The study follows one by Danish colleagues which made headlines last July, likewise looking for early warning signals for approaching an AMOC tipping point (we discussed it here),| RealClimate | Climate science from climate scientists...
