Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate
Anomaly and Little
Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and
global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 measurements).
Regarding the «
global ice at 1980 levels», here is the canned response we wrote in rebuttal to the astonishingly twisted piece in Daily Tech: What the graph shows is that the
global sea ice area for early January 2009 is on the long term average (zero
anomaly).

Anyway... has anybody else noticed that we risk ending up with the Arctic
sea ice behaving like
global temperature
anomalies, with a dramatic extreme followed by a series of years during which nothing really happens?
Now, since 2007, at the height of the
global warming scare tactics about arctic
sea ice, the antarctic
sea ice extents
anomaly CONTINUOUSLY exceeds 1.25 Mkm ^ 2 for 3 years straight now, and is larger than 1.5 Mkm ^ 2 so often for such long times that it is not even newsworthy on a skeptic site.
Global sea ice has averaged positive
anomalies for the past two years.
Global Weather and Climate Logistics, 5.32, Statistical Our predictor screening approach predicts slightly more
sea ice extent than last year and our
anomaly correlation approach predicts slightly less
sea ice extent than last year.
It includes inter alia information on
global temperatures during 2007, regional temperatures
anomalies, droughts, storms and flooding, cyclones, and Artic
