Statistical mechanics connection?
I am replacing all the statistical mechanics links in the See also section, since I don't really see a strong connection. It seems like this article is more an application of a sensitivity analysis. Please clarify the connection to statistical mechanics if I am mistaken.--GregRM (talk) 02:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Initial condition
Climate modeling and general circulation models are usually solving a boundary value problem and not an initial condition problem. Since the result of these models are statistical values, the initial condition does not make a big difference. So I think this part is misleading. Elmalevo (talk) 23:09, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The initial condition "doesn't make a big difference" but if that's the only thing you're perturbing, its the only difference. Does that appear strange? William M. Connolley (talk) 08:51, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
