average temperature anomalies over land, which are derived from observation station recordings, and the global average anomalies in sea surface temperatures.

One reason for this is that «global
temperature» varies significantly
over the months of the year due to seasonally varying Earth / sun geometry and the greater land mass in the Northern Hemisphere, so that any global
average of absolute
temperature, not
anomalies, will be considerably higher in NH summer than SH summer, and this will be true even in an unchanging climate.
It shows the sunspot data and
temperature anomalies over the last 160 years (annual data and 11 - yr

For example, the TV weather announcer would provide the following style of summation: «tomorrow will range from a cool of 45 degrees in the morning to a high of 73 degrees by late afternoon» - they don't state that tomorrow's
temperatures will have an
anomaly of +0.03 degree
over the
average baseline by late afternoon.
I'm very convinced that the physical process of global warming is continuing, which appears as a statistically significant increase of the global surface and tropospheric
temperature anomaly over a time scale of about 20 years and longer and also as trends in other climate variables (e.g., global ocean heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease on
average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this trend has been broken, recently.
Running four - month

Anomalies simply take the
average of the observed
temperatures (daily, monthly, annual, max, min, or what have you), and convert them to a scale with a different zero point — a zero defined as the mean observed
temperature over some accepted calibration period.

Despite these reclassifications, the general conclusions are similar from previous work: (1) global
temperature anomalies for each phase (El Niño, La Niña, and neutral) have been increasing
over time and (2) on
average, global
temperatures during El Niño years are higher than neutral years, which in turn, are higher than La Niña years.

Sensitivity equals dT / dF is only valid for an absolute
temperature and absolute forcing
over a small range of change and since the current «state of the artistry» «surface
temperature average» requires using
anomaly from very cold locations with very little energy per degree of
anomaly, what «surface» is
averaged impacts the estimate of «sensitivity».

over the past 15 years (180 months).
The annual 1957 - 2006

averaged over the 63 AWS stations is positive, but is not statistically different than zero for a p equal to or less than 0.05 when the trend regression data is adjusted for lag 1 auto correlation.
In particular, there is nothing special about 1980, since a zero value merely indicates that the difference between the
temperatures at that time is equal to the difference between the
average temperatures over the
anomaly calculation period.
My paper showed the very strong link between the ENSO and the global
average temperature anomaly a few months later
over the period from 1950 to 1987 and other papers have made similar findings.
The analyses are based on calculating
temperature differences at one point in time relative to the
average over a certain period (
anomalies) and creating a time series of
averaged global
temperature change.
The underlying question is not whether
anomalies are consistent
over large distances, but whether
average temperatures are, because that is what is being sold to the public as the basis for public policy.
Global
temperatures usually are described in terms of the surface air
temperature anomaly, the deviation of the
temperature at each site from a mean of many years that is
averaged over the whole world, both land and oceans.
Did anyone ever take actual hourly
temperature readings at a range of sites
over a period of time, and compare them to the
average inferred from the
anomalies.
But it's a bit easier to define the
average anomaly, and besides, this shows us what we're concerned with — how the
temperature changes
over time.
But let's look at the long - term NOAA record of tropospheric specific humidity and compare this with the HadCRUT globally and annually
averaged land and sea surface
temperature anomaly over the same period:
When it is warmer than the climatological
average (and therefore a positive
temperature anomaly) in a particular location, it is generally also warmer than
average over hundreds of kilometres — corresponding to the mean synoptic weather pattern — even though the actual
temperature may be quite different from location to location.
However, for changes
over time, only
anomalies, as departures from a climatology, are used, most commonly based on the area - weighted global
average of the sea surface
temperature anomaly and land surface air
temperature anomaly.
... To determine the TCS metric, we use actual physical data for the: 1)

The Earth's
average surface
temperature has risen significantly enough
over the 20th century that if we made a map that compared any recent monthly
average to the 20th - century
average for that month, virtually the entire globe would have positive
anomalies; most of the map would appear in shades of red.
