The phrase
"anomalous year" refers to a year that is unusual or different from what is expected or normal.

«Short term predictions are achievable, but challenges remain in
predicting anomalous years, and there is a need for better data for initialization of forecast models,» Stroeve said.
While 2001 may have been a
slightly anomalous year due to cold weather and low hydroelectric production, these figures clearly show that considerable work remains to be done.
Thus, using the CH4 growth rate for a
single anomalous year, as in the TAR, gives an anomalously high top - down value relative to the longer - term average source.
«What we are seeing this year is not just
an anomalous year, but a harbinger of things to come for at least a subset of those extreme events that we are tallying,» the NOAA chief told attendees of the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting.
As we all know, this was
an anomalous year with SAG correlating with the Oscars.
«The report that was released by the IPCC on extreme events suggests that what we are seeing this year is not just
an anomalous year, but a harbinger of things to come for at least a subset of the extreme events we are tallying, «said Jane Lubchenco, NOAA's administrator, during a press conference held here this week at the annual American Geophysical Union meeting.
2007 remains as
an anomalous year dominated by steady meteorological conditions during the entire summer.
2007 may be
an anomalous year where steady meteorological conditions dominated.
«We don't predict the summer weather yet and because of that the sea ice is still sensitive to what happens in the summer time which makes these predictions difficult during
those anomalous years,» says Stroeve.
It is when those cold (or warm) years become more and more regular that we start to recognize it as a change in climate rather than simply
an anomalous year of weather,» he said.
What you do in this post isn't all that bad, because
the anomalous year isn't getting included in the regression model (good!)
