The net effect of these anomalous winds is a cooling in the 2012 global
average surface air temperature of 0.1 — 0.2 °C, which can account for much of the hiatus in
surface warming observed since 2001.
Correcting this failure is, to my mind, about quantifying the climate impacts» damages in a scale which plainly does not relate geometrically to
average global

«We show that the climate over the 21st century can and likely will produce periods of a decade or two where the globally

Uncertainty in the Global
Average Surface Air Temperature Index: A Representative Lower Limit
Global
average air temperature near the
surface is dominated by the ocean (because it covers two thirds of the planet), particularly at low latitudes.
Sensor measurement uncertainty has never been fully considered in prior appraisals of global
average surface air temperature.
Average Earth
surface air temperature has risen about 1Â ° F since 1850.
However their predictions are about much more than just the
average near -
surface air temperature, they are mainly focused on how heat mixes into the ocean and how that affects the rise in
surface temperature as CO2 is doubled over 100 years.
the differential cloud change (dcc) of each day is equal to daily
average cloud change (x), minus an
averaging period of three days which begins five days prior to each date,... «-RRB-, linked to a transient decrease in cosmic rays, is associated with a transient increase of
surface level
air temperature.
I think it's a mistake to refer to changes in global
average surface air temperatures as if they were definitive measures of the change to the climate system.
In our analysis we use eight well - known datasets: 1) globally
averaged well - mixed marine boundary layer CO2 data, 2) HadCRUT3
surface air temperature data, 3) GISS
surface air temperature data, 4) NCDC
surface air temperature data, 5) HadSST2 sea
surface temperature data, 6) UAH lower troposphere
temperature data series, 7) CDIAC data on release of anthropogene CO2, and 8) GWP data on volcanic eruptions.

Springtime cold
air outbreaks (at least two consecutive days during which the daily
average surface air temperature is below 95 % of the simulated
average wintertime
surface air temperature) are projected to continue to occur throughout this century.19 As a result, increased productivity of some crops due to higher
temperatures, longer growing seasons, and elevated CO2 concentrations could be offset by increased freeze damage.20 Heat waves during pollination of field crops such as corn and soybean also reduce yields (Figure 18.3).4 Wetter springs may reduce crop yields and profits, 21 especially if growers are forced to switch to late - planted, shorter - season varieties.
Global

average temperatures from climate models typically use just
air temperatures.
Pritchard noted that the Antarctic Peninsula's annual
average air temperature has risen 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) since 1950, while near -

Another problem, as has been mentioned before, is that about 98 % of anthropogenic CO2 should be absorbed by the oceans in order to preserve the 1:50 partitioning ratio of CO2 between
air and water at earth's

Maps show projected change in
average surface air temperature in the later part of this century (2071 - 2099) relative to the later part of the last century (1970 - 1999) under a scenario that assumes substantial reductions in heat trapping gases (B1) and a higher emissions scenario that assumes continued increases in global emissions (A2).
Internal variability can only account for ~ 0.3 °C change in
average global
surface air temperature at most over periods of several decades, and scientific studies have consistently shown that it can not account for more than a small fraction of the global warming over the past century.
