endless monotony is pretending he doesn't understand variables (and their relationship to probabilities, particularly) to make a point in the direction of SirPablo regarding the modeling crisis. Technically endless monotony is more correct than SirPablo but since they went about it so poorly they get large demerits

Probability isn't real on these scales, and it doesn't even matter if reality's deterministic or not! It's just an artifact of insufficient data!

Then I took a break, took a poo poo, wondered how I could make this point in a way where anyone cared, and realized even I don't care about longwinded rants about modeling, I want to see the weather do wild poo poo, so I didn't post more about it.

sure wish i could understand what the hell was going on with my life
so i could be properly upset when things happen

its difficult the degree to which we can say something was a 100 year storm, when accurate measurement is at best a couple hundred years, when the overall climactic shifts of the last millennium are significant, etc

this gets even stranger when talking about thousand-year-storms, is something like the ARK storm that flooded Sacramento 150 years ago really an event that happens every 1000 years? would it be a 100 year storm in the little ice age and a 10,000 year storm in the medieval warm period? or the reverse probabilities of that?

endlessmonotony is just stating we do not have anywhere near the data required to meaningfully describe rare events, its hard enough to predict specific behavior of hurricanes and stuff that happens dozens of times per year, something we may have seen once, ever, cannot be given a useful probability in the way we want to receive one

As far as I can tell he's yelling at dynamical weather model outputs that aren't even normed against a climatology (i.e. the models are showing absolute temperatures, not deviations from some 20 year climatological average). The temperature outputs of something like the GFS or ECMWF plots posted in the past several pages don't care about the return-rate incidence of events beyond that background signal possibly being relevant in the dataset that the models are backtested against.

That's because there was an additional point "and by the time weather models show useful results there's no longer real world probability because the energy's already in, so model probability is merely a reflection of our confidence in our models and data, and those are incomplete by nature and selected by people influenced by their expectations, so using probabilities as an argument is just an appeal to authority without clearly designating the authority" but I couldn't make that a good post either.

It's still not a good post, someone post wildfires, I heard Lytton got more.

This bolded part is why you post GEFS or EPS ensembles of temperatures past t=120h on the model runs instead of the GFS or ECMWF operational (single) runs. Using model outputs in windows where they are a) knowingly highly uncertain and b) have better alternatives (like ensembles) is the entire problem SirPablo and I have with the cherrypicked models posted in this thread. Most of the people doing this are either cherrypicking models with results they want or have no idea how to use the products altogether and shouldn't be divining any sort of insight out of them.

endless do you even understand the difference between climate models, global weather models, ensemble models, CAMs, etc.? Add another layer - direct model output and statistical post processing? And a whole different branch is statistical modeling.

You fools. You ignorant Morons. Are you suggesting a world where math doesn't exist?

If you are modeling car crashes and are then teleported to an alien planet you just humansplain to them their risk of getting into a car accident based on data and physics. There is no need to account for a core fundamental shift to the concept of a model because that isn't how statistics works. They have a number chance of getting into an accident with whatever they call cars however they drive. That's how reality works. There would be no issues with your modeling. Underlying behaviors and historical assumptions being defeated as the environment being modeled enters a new period of behavior we have not seen and don't fully understand isn't relevant. Numbers exist. I read lots of graphs. Checkmate.

I rely on weather models for leisure activities and GFS has always been kind of a mess, in some locations it can be almost flawless but in others you'll end up consistently wild inaccurate reports, takes some local experience to interpret it. Seaside is generally better than inland
