That's what I meant to say, that the the increase in land temperature, in other words the anomaly, was 50 % greater than the average and twice the SST, not the shorthand which was misinterpreted
as an absolute temperature.
As absolute temperature goes above zero, the fluctuations increase as a function of temperature.
One of the most common questions that arises from analyses of the global surface temperature data sets is why they are almost always plotted as anomalies and not
as absolute temperatures.

temperature scale that starts at
absolute zero (− 273.15 °C).
But scientists have long suspected that if
temperatures were to plunge to near
absolute zero, molecules would come to a screeching halt, ceasing their individual chaotic motion and behaving
as one collective body.
His big breakthrough came in 1908 when he managed to make liquid helium, the last of the gases to be liquefied because it requires

as would be expected if a supersolid were forming inside.
All objects with a

as a result of the thermal motion of their molecules.
These are materials in which all resistance to an electrical current disappears at

During the mid-1990s in a University of Colorado physics lab, Wieman enlisted lasers to bring matter
as close to
absolute zero
as anyone is likely to get — a
temperature so low that atoms freeze together into quantum - mechanical clouds predicted by Einstein but never before observed.
As frigid as such temperature may sound, it outperforms by far traditional superconductors, which operate at closer to -270 degrees celsius, or a few degrees from absolute zero — the point where all motion stops.&raqu

Instruments for detecting infrared radiation include heat - sensitive devices such
as thermocouple detectors, bolometers (some of these are cooled to
temperatures close to
absolute zero so that the thermal radiation of the detector system itself is greatly reduced), photovoltaic cells, and photoconductors.
You have correctly noted that the
absolute surface
temperature varies enormously on very short distances
as a function of the terrain (something that is true for rural
as well
as urban environments).

absolute monarchy, the monarch rules
as an autocrat, with
absolute power over the state and government — for example, the right to The instrumental
temperature record provides the
temperature of Earth's climate system from the historical network of in situ measurements of surface air
High
absolute humidity is related to higher
temperature, southern coastal areas and is not the same
as high relative humidity.
There are two very basic answers: First, looking at changes in data gets rid of biases at individual stations that don't change in time (such
as station location), and second, for surface
temperatures at least, the correlation scale for anomalies is much larger (100's km) than for
absolute temperatures.
However, and this is important, because of the biases and the difficulty in interpolating, the estimates of the global mean
absolute temperature are not
as accurate
as the year to year changes.
Of course, the
absolute temperature does matter in many situations (the freezing point of ice, emitted radiation, convection, health and ecosystem impacts, etc.) and so it's worth calculating
as well — even at the global scale.
But, how many humans think of the real
temperature range
as being from
Absolute Zero (i.e., zero K) on up through the
temperature of the sun, and beyond?
Would a higher or indeed lower
absolute mean global
temperature now affect this forcing
as temperature increased due to CO2 in the future or is the effect minimal.
As pointed out in the Katrina thread, it's the
absolute temperature that matters.
Also,
as # 136 knows, ALL substances above
absolute zero
temperature radiate energy.
Each layer must transport the same energy
as the layer below and its emissivity is perfect (optically thick) so it transports according to R ^ 2T ^ 4 where R is the radius from the center of the planet and T is
absolute temperature.
And so the world is awash with quotes of
absolute global mean
temperatures for single years which use different baselines giving wildly oscillating fluctuations
as a function of time which are purely a function of the uncertainty of that baseline, not the actual trends.
I would also like to say that your claim that «the estimates of the global mean
absolute temperature are not
as accurate
as the year to year changes» is at the very least counterintuitive.
Your chart shows the difference between the
absolute temperature in 1895
as measured using the GISP2 ice core proxy, and the
absolute temperature as measured at a nearby location using the thermometers in the 2000s, ie, the difference between the end of the GISP2 icecore and the higher of the two blue crosses in last graph in the original post.

as the actual
absolute temperature time series (from which the anomalies are calculated).
You may be able to totally trust a piece of equipment at
temperatures over -10 C, but have to throw out all data for
temperatures below -60 C. Just handing out the raw data to anyone will result in some fool taking it
as absolute truth.
The correction consigns much of the divergence in
absolute temperature between the climate models and the instrumental data to the last decade,
as shown below.
It is no surprise there is significant disagreement over the amount of warming estimated —
as James Hansen and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies explain7, there is no clear definition of what we mean by
absolute surface air
temperature and wide variation in the estimated mean surface

2) Secondly we must realise that the
absolute temperature of the Earth
as a whole is largely irrelevant to what we perceive
as climate.
As I have commented before even though their representation of trends (or anomalies) leaves much to be desired their estimates of absolute values of temperature (as C) and precipitation (as mm) are often way of

Systematic errors propagate
as their root - mean - square, which means that the uncertainty of an anomaly is greater than the uncertainty of the
absolute temperatures used to calculate it.
Then anomalies are «not useful» to tell the public,
as if that justifies making an invalid comparison of
absolute temperatures between two networks.
As to 3 in
absolute temperature terms, not that much difference.
The atmosphere doesn't need to get rid of heat, it radiates because it does like every matter does
as long
as the
temperature is not
absolute 0.
The site includes
absolute and anomaly
temperature data
as well
as max, min and average
temperature data.
This is also consistent with the bonchardi mechanism mode, which fairly consistently indicates we can expect a reversal of ambient air
temperature increase with the next day,
as the dual modality of reverse recapture recombination functions
as an equalizer, and the increase in low level re radiation acts
as a «heat shield» keeping more air from reaching and warming the ground, allowing ice to reformulate, while most of the temporary heat, which will largely be offset by the Atlantic shift paradigm anyway, given the lower
absolute percentage of (so called?)
