Simulations, Observations & Palæoclimatic data: climate variability over the last 500 years Introduction: SO&P is a research project funded by the European Union and led by Tim Osborn and Keith Briffa at UEA's Climatic Research Unit. The project will simulate the climate of the last 500 years, will develop improved reconstructions of the real climate over this period, and will compare the two to provide an important test of the climate models and an improved estimate of natural climate variability. This work will then be used to better quantify the uncertainty in future climate projections, and to re-assess the detection of unusual climate change in the observations.
