1 March 2011: There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. - Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld*s now-famous quote about *known knowns* (he was speaking to reporters about how to make *sense* of the often conflicting stories and viewpoints coming out of Iraq) could easily be applied to the perils of deterministic weather forecasting and the uncertainties evident from ensemble forecasting.
