2 Goals Examining sources of variability/uncertainty GCM, RCM, scenario, interactions, physical processes, etc. Projections of climate change combining across models Survey of other projects Multivariate, extremes, correlated models, etc. 2
3 The NARCCAP Design Phase I: Phase I Phase II NCEP GFDL CGCM3 HADCM3 CCSM finished finished finished ECP2 finished running planned finished planned finished finished planned finished finished finished finished WRFG finished running finished (20 years) Average daily precipitation (mm) winter (DJF) Interpolated to a common grid: = 11, 760 grid boxes 3
4 Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr Yr 20 4
5 Analysis of Variance ave. winter precip ave. winter precip ave. winter precip residuals Y ij = µ + α i + ɛ ij For every grid box (this grid-box is in eastern Nebraska): Y ij is the (transformed) precipitation for the ith model and the jth year. µ is a common mean α i is a RCM-specific effect ɛ ij is the error or residual 5
6 Analysis of Variance ave. winter precip ave. winter precip ave. winter precip residuals Y ij = µ + α i + ɛ ij Testing the null hypothesis H 0 : α 1 =... = α 6 = 0: df SS MS F p-value RCM e-11 Residual Conclusion: strong evidence of differences in the RCM means. 5
7 Analysis of Variance Map of pointwise p-values: strong evidence of differences in RCM means over nearly every grid box in the domain??? 6
8 Problem: correlated residuals at neighboring grid-boxes. Result: invalid inference any conclusions based on the p-value map are suspect.
9 Functional Analysis of Variance ave. winter precip Yij = ave. winter precip 0.65 µ ave. winter precip αi residuals ij Yij is the vector of (transformed) precipitation for the ith model and jth year. µ is the vector mean common to all RCMs αi is the vector RCM-specific effect ij is the vector residual. 8
10 Functional Analysis of Variance ave. winter precip Yij = ave. winter precip µ ave. winter precip αi residuals ij The innovation is that each of these effects is a surface. Each effect is considered a realization from a random process. Gaussian fields are often used as prior distributions; inferences about the effects involve conditioning on the observed output fields. Kaufman and Sain (2010), Sain, Nychka and Mearns (2010). 8
11 Posterior means of model-to-model variation (left column) and residual or year-to-year variation (right column). Color scheme for bottom row based on quantiles. 9
12 P [s 2 α > s 2 ɛ ] Pointwise probabilities that the model-to-model variation is larger than the year-to-year variation (analogous to small p-values in a traditional ANOVA). 10
13 Another example Two datasets and three regional models. Summer (JJA) average temperature. (Seasonal temp/precip, extreme precip, heat stress, bivariate...) Current: ; Future: All models use A2 scenario for future emissions. All data/model output interpolated to common grid gridboxes 11
14 Another example Datasets: CRU: UEA Climate Research Unit s Global Climate Dataset ( ). UDEL: Data from Willmott, Matsuura, and Collaborators at the University of Delaware ( ). Models: GFDL/: UC Santa Cruz s Regional Climate Model; driven by NOAA s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory GCM CGCM3/: OURANOS Canadian Regional Climate Model; driven by CCCma s Third Generation Coupled Global Climate Model. HadCM3/: Hadley Centre s Hadley Regional Model; driven by Hadley Centre Coupled Model. 12

17 Y it = H i (µ + α i ) + ɛ it Z 0 it = µ + β i + ɛ 0 it Z 1 it = µ + + γ i + ɛ 1 it = µ + + β i + η i + ɛ 1 it Each yearly season of a dataset or current run of an RCM has a common climate (µ) plus individual model-specific deviations (α i /β i ) plus year-to-year variation (ɛ it /ɛ 0 it ). Each yearly season of a future run of an RCM has a common climate (µ) plus a common deviation or change ( ), plus individual model-specific deviations (γ i ), plus year-to-year variation (ɛ 1 it ). Note that γ i can be thought of as a model-specific deviation plus an interaction. 15

27 Other Topics: Correlated Models A fundamental concern with combining model output from different models is model-tomodel correlations. Latent variable modeling provides a unique view into these correlations and how to combine models. With W. Christensen, BYU. 25
28 Other Topics: Extremes 100-year return levels for winter precipitation based on a hierarchical Bayesian spatial model based on the GEV representation for extremes. With D. Cooley, CSU. 26
