Почти философские вопросы по проблемам климата Математическая теория климата исходит из определения: климат – статистический ансамбль состояний, проходимых климатической системой за 30 лет. Вопрос: а как называть наблюдаемые изменения климата за последние десятилетия (в пределах 30 лет)? или это изменения не климата, а чего-то другого? При математическом моделировании климата используется около 10 9 параметров, многие из которых не измеряются и характеризуют не только состояние климатической системы, но и погодообразующие процессы. Вопрос: столько и каких параметров необходимо и достаточно для характеристики состояния и прогнозируемой динамики климатической системы под воздействием физических, биологических, химических и антропогенных факторов?

Почти философские вопросы по проблемам климата Климат определяется не только величиной параметров, характеризующих климатическую систему, но и сезонной последовательностью этих величин (другое определение климата – многолетний режим погоды). Вопрос: нельзя ли рассматривать климат как сложную и изменяющуюся по структуре систему из погодных элементов (многодневных кластеров и фракталов погод погоды) подобно сложному химическому соединению, состоящему из простых химических элементов таблицы Менделеева? Математические модели климата основываются на общих законах природы, а выявляемые эмпирические закономерности используются пока только для верификации этих моделей. Вопрос: не пришла ли пора начать создание моделей климата на основе эмпирических закономерностей подобно тому, как выводились многие законы физики (законы Кеплера, законы Ньютона, уравнения Максвелла и др.), т.е. пройти встречный путь к математическим моделям и развивать комплексный климато-экологический мониторинг в соответствии с этой задачей?
