Abstract:
We are interested in examining model output to estimate on what spatial scale climate trends vary. For instance, the expected trend in two locations in adjacent gridboxes may be quite similar, however trends a continent away may by quite different. We'd like to quantify the horizontal scale on which might expect detectably different trends. We would also like to look at trends in basic state data to estimate how many years will be needed to detect these trends. We will consult with the lead scientist for each model that we use. We do not anticipate any conflicts of interest.
