Once I found a better solution, called control experiment (CTL), after days of tuning (model parameters), the next step is very boring--to repeat all the exps used in the ppt and the manuscript. For the ppt, I have to repeat at least 16 exps. OMG!
means you keep on finding new things. It took us more than one year to refine the best numerical solution for our first paper, which was finally submitted last month. As I started to write the second paper, I needed to adjust the "best solution." That's when I discovered an even better solution th ...
That is the question I need an answer for. A few days ago, I was convinced by a Nature paper that the tropical Indian Ocean has undergone changes that are consistent with what scientists expected from a warming climate. Today, I found two papers that emphasize decadal variability, at least ...
