First sentence: In a crude approximation, background climate variability can be described by a simple "red-noise" model, in which the thermal inertia of the slow-response components of the climate system (e.g., the oceans as well as the cryosphere) tends to integrate the approximately white-noise forcing provided by weather systems.
