Man-made land-cover changes represent an important source of predictability for the climate in sub-Saharan Africa, especially at time scales of several decades into the future (Paeth et al. 2009).
Although our results suggest that single-model ensembles are not overdispersive on average, it is still possible that current-generation climate models simulate a smaller range of predictability than does the real world.
Flow regime modification and the resulting loss of predictability have been a major concern in recent years because of climate change and anthropogenic activities.
There is no obvious way in which spatial methods can be helpful even if there is some degree of predictability of drinking-water use based on location, for example, greater amounts in warmer climates.
The difference between E1-W and E1-S is the effects of coupling on climate predictability.
The difference between these two experiments is the effects of coupling on climate predictability [23].
There's not a lot of predictability".
"That suggests some degree of predictability".
Dr. Randall Dole, the director of the federal government's Climate Diagnostics Center in Boulder, Colo., which studies ways to improve forecasts, said evidence was accumulating that there are enduring patterns in the atmosphere and oceans that provide a hint of predictability.
The hallmark of the program is the lack of predictability".
