Second, a geometry classifier is designed to categorize these errors into different groups using the information of voltage error between model and measurements.
Discrepancies between model and measurements are likely due to the inhomogeneous nature of the forest canopy in contrast to the assumption of a uniformly absorbing turbid medium in the model.
Secondly, possibility theory is applied to quantify the consistency between model and measurements.
Water vapor absorption bands tend to exhibit larger differences between model and measurement as uncertainties in temperature and water vapor amount increase model errors.
There exists also an obvious gap in that thorough quantitative comparison analysis between model and measurement of ionospheric parameters are limited.
For the highest F org values the agreement between model and measurement was best at RH of 80%, but for F org < 0.9 such RH effect was not seen.
This paper aims at documenting the results of the tests and showing how comparisons between models and actual measurements, particularly quasi-definitive data, can usefully contribute to the IGRF evaluation.
According to the study's co-author, Piers Forster, "cherry picking" the most recent 15-year interval to refute climate-change modeling is misleading and obscures the long-term agreement between the models and measurements.
The consistency between model and experimental measurements is very high, but for a small set.
While there is a discrepancy between model simulations and measurements of tropical troposphere temperatures, it's not clear how much (if any) is due to the models being wrong, and how much is due to errors in the measurements.
Qualitative agreement between the model and measurements is reached.
