"Temperature observations" refers to the act of measuring and recording the level of heat or coldness in a certain environment or object.
Full definition
The station metadata provides information regarding the conditions and practices
of temperature observation at the measurement location.
Between 1960 and today, the majority of stations switched from a late afternoon to an early morning observation time, resulting a systemic change (and resulting bias)
in temperature observations.
The scale has a standard deviation of 19 points, which matches the standard deviation of 19 degrees in all
daily temperature observations in these cities throughout the year.
For example, Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009) used a semi-empirical method linking temperature changes to sea level rise, which they validated by comparing observed sea level to reconstructed sea level calculated from global
temperature observations from 1880 to 2000.
A reasonable interpretation of this result is that whatever urban influence exists on
temperature observations at the Observatory Hill site (which is in a part of Sydney that was heavily built up) was already fully developed by 1910.
* Apparent temperature (App Temp) for Sydney - Observatory Hill is calculated
using temperature observations collected at Sydney - Observatory Hill and wind observations collected at Fort Denison, as wind observations are not currently provided for Sydney - Observatory Hill.
Drew Shindell, a climatologist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, found Earth is likely to experience roughly 20 percent more warming than estimates that were largely based on surface
temperature observations during the past 150 years.
On Wednesday, temperatures at all but two observing sites in Oklahoma reached or exceeded the triple - digits, with multiple 114 °F readings noted, and two 115 °F
high temperature observations, at the Kingfisher Mesonet site and the Enid airport.
In reconstructing the changes in global mean temperature since 1850, Berkeley Earth has examined 16 million monthly
average temperature observations from 43,000 weather stations.
Forster and Gregory (2006) estimate ECS based on radiation budget data from the ERBE combined with surface
temperature observations based on a regression approach, using the observation that there was little change in aerosol forcing over that time.
However, detection and attribution analyses based on climate simulations that include these forcings, (e.g., Stott et al., 2006b), continue to detect a significant anthropogenic influence in 20th -
century temperature observations even though the near - surface patterns of response to black carbon aerosols and sulphate aerosols could be so similar at large spatial scales (although opposite in sign) that detection analyses may be unable to distinguish between them (Jones et al., 2005).
However, the Hadley Centre's real - world plot of radiosonde
temperature observations shown below does not show the projected CO2 induced global warming hot - spot at all.
However, it is accurate that 2011 and 2010 had the consecutive hottest mean maxima recorded at any of the three Perth locations used for
temperature observations since 1897.
Using updated and
corrected temperature observations taken at thousands of weather observing stations over land and as many commercial ships and buoys at sea, the researchers show that temperatures in the 21st century did not plateau, as thought.
Also, they used sea surface
temperature observation data from Britain's weather and climate data organization, the UK Met Office's Hadley Center and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), ocean reanalysis data from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at NOAA, and atmospheric reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium - Range Weather Forecasting and NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction for that 30 - year period.
To their credit, the authors are not saying that «anthropogenic warming of the climate system can be detected
by temperature observations», but the reader is left wondering how this «anthropogenic warming» component is to be ferreted out from the temperature data.
