Sentences with phrase «enso than surface temperature»

Tamino has also previously performed a multiple regression of temperature on various short - term effects, including the Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI), and confirms that TLT data are much more sensitive to ENSO than surface temperature data (Figure 2).

Not exact matches

The difference of adding 1998 is greater here than with the surface data, because the response of tropospheric temperature to ENSO is twice as large as that of surface temperatures to ENSO (in other words, the 1998 anomaly is much larger in the satellite data).
That is why HadCRUT4 is more sensitive to ENSO than other surface temperature indices, and a significant factor in why making the index truly global increases the trend significantly.
There's more to ENSO than just sea surface temperature deviations.
But sea surface temperature in the Equatorial Pacific region remain somewhat hotter than normal — bending toward the warm side of ENSO neutral.
For more than 3 1/2 years, I've been presenting how sea surface temperature data indicates that ENSO is the primary cause of the warming of the past 3 decades.
Steve Fitzpatrick says: «It is an real contribution to link the ENSO to the AMO (this gives the AMO a more solid rational for influencing global temperatures), but it is I think unwise to suggest that ENSO driven cycles are (rather than could possibly be) responsible for most of the observed ocean surface warming since 1900.»
It is an real contribution to link the ENSO to the AMO (this gives the AMO a more solid rational for influencing global temperatures), but it is I think unwise to suggest that ENSO driven cycles are (rather than could possibly be) responsible for most of the observed ocean surface warming since 1900.
However, the situation is complicated by multiple other factors that include delay in the response of global temperature to regional ENSO phenomena, and the triggering of feedbacks that can heat or cool the ocean in the same direction as surface trends rather than opposing them.
And the TLT data are more sensitive to ENSO events than surface temperature data (Figure 1).
I've also looked at other ENSO indexes other than Nino 3.4 sea surface temperatures, and they do NOT all show a zero trend.
The satellite temps are more sensitive (higher swings) to ENSO and yearly variation than the surface temperatures, and the 5 - year average for 1982 (1979 - 1984) is one of the highest peaks above trend for the UAH record.
http://www.agci.org/docs/lean.pdf «Global (and regional) surface temperature fluctuations in the past 120 years reflect, as in the space era, a combination of solar, volcanic, ENSO, and anthropogenic influences, with relative contributions shown in Figure 6.22 The adopted solar brightness changes in this scenario are based on a solar surface flux transport model; although long - term changes are «50 % larger than the 11 - year irradiance cycle, they are significantly smaller than the original estimates based on variations in Sun - like stars and geomagnetic activity.
Perhaps solar cycles or volcanoes coincided with some of the ENSO episodes thus moving surface temperatures more than they usually do for an ENSO event.
If ENSO releases more heat than normal from the tropical Pacific over a multidecadal period, surface temperatures have to warm over that multidecadal period.
