Yes, I expect that good software V&V practices will become a part of climate modelling as used for policy making, just as we see in the nuclear industry.<br /><br />Will it make climate models more correct? Probably somewhat, at great expense. Still, I remember Steve Easterbrook finding that the informal QA methods used in climatology already produce remarkably high quality code.<br /><br />And of course we all know that the real issues with climate modelling quality are in representing the physics, rather than formal code correctness. This is optimizing the trees for the forest, and probably a very subopimal use of resources if overall quality is the objective.<br /><br />Yet, I have no doubt we are going there. It's politically inevitable. But let's be explicit: it's about creating the <em>appearance</em> of rigor. As such, it is just another (small) aspect of scientists having to get much better at public relations.
