英文摘要 | Decadal climate predictions, which are initialized with observed conditions, are characterized by two main sources of uncertainties-internal and model variabilities. Using an ensemble of climate model simulations from the CMIP5 decadal experiments, we quantified the total uncertainty associated with these predictions and the relative importance of each source. Annual and monthly averages of the surface temperature and zonal wind were considered. We show that different definitions of the anomaly result in different conclusions regarding the variance of the ensemble members. However, some features of the uncertainty are common to all the measures we considered. We found that on decadal time scales, there is no considerable increase in the uncertainty with time. The model variability is more sensitive to the annual cycle than the internal variability. This, in turn, results in a maximal uncertainty during the winter in the northern hemisphere. The uncertainty of the surface temperature prediction is dominated by the model variability, whereas the uncertainty of the zonal wind is determined by both sources. An analysis of the spatial distribution of the uncertainty reveals that the surface temperature has higher variability over land and in high latitudes, whereas the surface zonal wind has higher variability over the ocean. The relative importance of the internal and model variabilities depends on the averaging period, the definition of the anomaly, and the location. The model uncertainties that contribute greatly to the total uncertainties in most regions, for all the variables considered here, may be reduced by weighting the models in the ensemble. |
