"Average temp" refers to the typical or normal temperature over a certain period of time, usually calculated by adding up a series of temperatures and dividing by the number of readings. It helps give an idea of the overall temperature for a specific day, month, or year.
Full definition
Timing and averaging in the models for a typical 150 yr run: The models give results as global
average temps for a year etc. (see charts way above) What are the time increments that the models calculate / increment on?
If you have 1 and 3, you have a hotter
average temp on Earth's surface air (up to some Km.)
I would think that max temps would also tend to be closer to the new
warmer average temps in a greenhouse GW world, too.
With average temps in the 70s, even in winter, Arroyo Grande Valley is a great year - round vacation destination.
This always bugs me when the media uses this type of record breaking data as a attention grabber to scare people who don't know the difference between an anomaly and the
total average temp of the earth (this is what the average person thinks when they hear this debate), it is totally misleading.
But it doesn't change the basic conclusion, which is that in terms of the way medium -
term average temp has drifted over the Holocene, 0.8 °C is a lot.
Gas milage is unbelievable for a good size sedan 34 hwy I live in mohave county
Az average temp in summer near 120, paint is still nearly perfect no fade.
However, in summer the global
average temps rise by 50F (i.e 27C) and in winter they drop by 50F.
So, as a sort of sanity check, perhaps you could produce a comparison for pre-1980 data between TOBS
adjusted average temps and Tmin (unadjusted) temps.
Monckton Craftily starting at a higher than
average temp month and extrapolating the linear temp graph to period prior to the temperature raising again.
