The phrase "ability of climate" is not commonly used in written English and may sound awkward.
It could be used in discussions about the capacity or potential of climate systems, but it would require additional context for clarity.
Example: "The ability of climate to influence weather patterns is a critical area of study in meteorology."
Alternatives: "capacity of climate" or "potential of climate".
But he questioned the ability of climate models to predict the magnitude of the impact.
As a more ambitious approach, dynamical climate prediction explores the ability of climate models to predict regional climate changes in the near future by exploiting both initial-condition information and changes in atmospheric composition.
Results of this work are useful to improve statistical modeling of daily rainfall extremes at high spatial resolution and provide diagnostic tools for assessing the ability of climate models to simulate extreme events.
The ability of climate models to incorporate high-resolution topography has been improved significantly with continuous advance in the performance of supercomputers, which has enabled modelers to test the sensitivities of South Asian and East Asian monsoons to the uplift in the different parts of the HTP (Zhang et al. 2012a; Liu and Dong 2013).
Objective: We sought to identify major climatic influences on dengue virus ecology and to evaluate the ability of climate-based dengue models to describe associations between climate and dengue, simulate outbreaks, and project the impacts of climate change.
We then compared the ability of the climate model and the combined climate and air pollution model to predict the occurrence of HFRS.
The review concluded the projections had serious limitations that needed to be made clear to users, and it led some to worry that the results "stretched the ability of current climate science".
The ability of a climate model to accurately simulate the urban cooling effect of raising street albedo may be hampered by unrealistic representations of street geometry in the urban canyon.
The half-century history of this alien species in the UK has wider conservation significance for assessing the ability of warm-climate introduced species to persist during climate fluctuations occurring over decades and, especially, to survive rare extreme events.
And it is blatantly wrong to claim that climate scientists have "ignored the fact that there are several periods... where no warming has occurred". The ability (or inability) of climate models to reproduce successfully the 20th-century observational record is one of the primary measures used to evaluate our understanding of Earth's climate (e.g., AR4 chapter 3.2, 9.3, 9.4).
Although range shifts in response to current climate change have also been observed, the ability of species to track climate change will be affected by ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation.
