“…Such an ensemble approach was shown to be the only method providing reliable statistical predictions in systems with underlying nonpredictable dynamics (since in this class the traditional approach based on a single time series is known to provide seriously biased results). A number of papers illustrate these statements within the physics literature (see, e.g., Romeiras et al, 1990;Lai, 1999;Serquina et al, 2008), as well as in low-order climate models (Chekroun et al, 2011;Bódai et al, 2011;Bódai and Tél, 2012;Bódai et al, 2013;Drótos et al, 2015), in general circulation models (Haszpra and Herein, 2019;Kaszás et al, 2019;Pierini et al, 2018Pierini et al, , 2016Drótos et al, 2017;Herein et al, 2017;Bódai et al, 2020;Haszpra et al, 2020b, a), and also in experimental situations (Vincze, 2016;Vincze et al, 2017).…”
