An analysis of the disagreement about added value by regional climate models.
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 cla...

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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2021.
