GISS surface air temperature data, 4) NCDC surface air temperature data, 5) HadSST2 sea surface temperature data, 6) UAH lower troposphere temperature data series, 7) CDIAC data on release of anthropogene CO2, and 8) GWP data on volcanic eruptions.

To give you an idea, just look at
any GISS surface data series around the equator (where the largest discrepancy was found): Look e.g. at the data for Salvador, a town of 1.5 million inhabitants.
Watts» attempted explanation of the differences between histograms generated from NASA
GISS surface temperature data vs. those generated from HadCRUT, RSS, and UAH data is a particularly entertaining example.
They are published and plotted every month, (Google Global Warming at a Glance), and overlaid onto
the GISS surface data on which Anthony Watts (Watts up with That) labours so strenuously.

Last Friday, NASA
GISS and NOAA NCDC had a press conference and jointly announced the end - of - year analysis for the 2014 global
surface temperature anomaly which, in both analyses, came out top.
Victor complains of a so called «lack of scientific understanding», but shows his own massive lack of understanding when he calls basic statistics arcane, and appears to think the satellites measure the same thing in the same way as
surface data like
giss.
The point about heating (adding energy) vs warming (temperatures going up) is a very good one — it might help if the scientists involved with the major temperature series people look at (
GISS, RSS, etc) also produced a global
surface energy change index that accounted for things like melting ice, which absorb heat without raising temperatures.
Tamino asks why I quote the UAH satellite data and not, say, the
GISS «
surface» data.
Not criticising
GISS by the way, that's just the reality of Antarctic

But models are not tuned to the trends in
surface temperature, and as Gavin noted before (at least for the
GISS model), the aerosol amounts are derived from simulations using emissions data and direct effects determined by changes in concentrations.
There are 5 best - known global temperature estimates,

I believe that right now the goal is to document all of the 1200 or so USHCN and GHCN -
GISS sites, not all
surface stations in operation across the US.
However, the CRU global mean combined land air / sea
surface temperature estimates for Jan - Aug 2005 lag behind the 1998 annual mean estimate by 0.08 C (0.50 C vs. 58C for 1998) while
GISS indicates a lag of 0.02 C.
My amateur spreadsheet tracking and projecting the monthly NASA
GISS values suggests that while 2018 and 2019 are likely to be cooler than 2017, they may also be the last years on Earth with global average land and ocean

It is absurd that you continue to mislead people that
GISS software was capable of fixing defects in

GISS themselves hold no such belief in the existence of the «magical software» that you believe in.
The
GISS group and the
surface temperature records are managed by the
GISS group and not the larger NASA Earth Observing System Data Information Services (EOSDIS).
If there is indeed a fairly close correlation between the US
surface temps and US satellite temps, then that would show just how «whacked out» the
GISS and Hadcrut temps could be.
The UAH satellite data, however, shows less than half the warming of the smallest of the

GISS), about 40 % of the Jones warming, and about a quarter of the GHCN warming.
So, in looking at the chart, I note that the orange line (HadISST) is based on sea -
surface temperature observations, while the three other lines are (various
GISS - E2 - R runs) are land - and - sea model outputs.
