| Zusammenfassung |
| We summarise results from a workshop on
"Model Benchmarking and Quality Assurance" of the EU-Network of Excellence ACCENT,
including results from other activities (e.g. COST Action 732) and publications.
A formalised evaluation protocol is presented, i.e. a generic formalism describing the procedure of how
to perform a model evaluation. This includes eight steps and examples from global model
applications which
are given for illustration.
The first and important step is concerning the purpose of the model application,
i.e. the addressed underlying scientific or
political question. We give examples to demonstrate that there is
no model evaluation per se, i.e. without a focused purpose. Model evaluation is testing, whether a
model is fit for its purpose. The following steps are deduced from the purpose and
include model requirements, input data,
key processes and quantities, benchmark data, quality indicators, sensitivities, as well as benchmarking and grading.
We define "benchmarking" as the process of comparing the model output against either observational data or high fidelity model
data, i.e. benchmark data.
Special focus is given to the uncertainties, e.g. in observational data, which have the potential to
lead to wrong conclusions in the model evaluation if not considered carefully. |
