Sentences with phrase «land surface air temperatures there»

Land surface air temperatures there effectively stopped warming around 1998.

Not exact matches

There are some various proposed mechanisms to explain this that involve the surface energy balance (e.g., less coupling between the ground temperature and lower air temperature over land because of less potential for evaporation), and also lapse rate differences over ocean and land (see Joshi et al 2008, Climate Dynamics), as well as vegetation or cloud changes.

AGW and models say that there will be an increase in the global temperature [air or sea or land surface, take your pick] if the CO2 increases.

It's hard to imagine how Cowtan and Way could determine with any degree of certainty how «the hybrid method works best over land and most importantly sea ice» when there is so little surface air temperature data over sea ice.

Since then there are a number of papers published on why the warming was statistically insignificant including a recent one by Richardson et al. 2016 which tries to explain that the models were projecting a global tas (temperature air surface) but the actual observations are a combination of tas (land) and SST oceans, meaning projected warming shouldn't be as much as projected.

There is even a slightly finer distinction that is almost always skipped: when it comes to the land record, we're talking about global surface air temperature.

The single highest land surface temperature (LST) recorded in any year, in any region, occurred there in 2005, when MODIS recorded a temperature of 70.7 °C (159.3 °F)- more than 12 °C (22 °F) warmer than the official air temperature record from Libya.
