6.1 The vertical and horizontal structure of observed climate
change
In this section I would like to make some remarks about the predictability
of climate change, bearing in mind the nonlinear paradigm put forward
in section 4. To do this I want to focus on a very specific aspect in the
validation of GeM climate change integrations. At first sight it might
appear that this aspect is rather too specific for an overview discussion on
