在本文中，我们考虑了一些问题，围绕区域气候模式是否“增值”，在气候科学今天的一个有争议的问题。我们强调了一些经常对区域气候模型提出的反对意见，包括区域气候模型没有“增值”的几个主张。我们发现，有一些问题涉及后者的索赔，主要集中在不同的研究问题正在追求的建模者对区域气候模型的投诉的事实。进一步的问题集中在历史上的缺陷，具体的，但不是普遍的，个别地区的模式失败。我们提供工具来整理这些不同的研究问题和特定的失败，并改善沟通和理解周围的附加值在气候建模和气候科学的哲学。
In this paper we consider some questions surrounding whether or not regional climate models “add value,” a controversial issue in climate science today. We highlight some objections frequently made about regional climate models both within and outside the community of modelers, including several claims that regional climate models do not “add value.” We show that there are a number of issues involved in the latter claims, the primary ones centering on the fact that different research questions are being pursued by the modelers making the complaints against regional climate models. Further issues focus on historical deficiencies of particular—but not generalizable—failures of individual regional models. We provide tools to sort out these different research questions and particular failures, and to improve communication and understanding surrounding added value in climate modeling and philosophy of climate science.
