Chris Knight, together with various members of the cpdn team, have published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences which looks at what factors most effect the result that a climate model gives, using data from the first, 3 phase, slab ocean experiments (see http://www.climateprediction.net/science/strategy.php). Reassuringly, the paper finds that model parameters matter much more than what computer you happen to run the model on. The paper has received a mention in 'The Economist' (http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=9433721) and Environmental Research Web (http://www.environmentalresearchweb.org/cws/article/research/30501), It has already appeared as an 'early edition' and will probably be in next weeks PNAS. Unfortunately, unless you subscribe to PNAS, you wont be able to view the paper there for 6 months, so follow the link at the bottom to see a pre-publication version of the paper.http://www.climateprediction.net/science/pubs/PNAS_knightetal_2007.pdf
