Predicted Arctic sea ice trends over time

Real Climate

One of the most high profile ‘misses’ in coupled modeling over the last few decades was the failure of the model projections in CMIP3 (circa 2003/4 vintage) to match the rapid losses in Arctic sea ice that started to become apparent in the middle of that decade (Stroeve et al.,

Operationalizing Climate Science

2023) we proposed updating the forcings datasets and redoing much of the attribution work that had been done before to focus specifically on explaining the trends in the CERES time period (2003 to present). So for 2007 report, the CMIP3 simulations were carried out around 2003, and so history stopped at the end of 2000.
