By every data set I know of, the calculated global mean temperature today is a little warmer than it was 150 years ago.

The energy flow diagrams of Trenberth et al and Stephens et al show 3 mechanisms by which a warming Earth surface can warm the troposphere and restore radiative balance: it is not reasonable to assert a priori that two of them can't matter in calculating the global mean temperature after a doubling of CO2 concentration, when even a little study shows that all of them will be affected.

Not exact matches

To contribute to an understanding of the underlying causes of these changes we compile various environmental records (and model - based interpretations of some of them) in order to calculate the direct effect of various processes on Earth's radiative budget and, thus, on global annual mean surface temperature over the last 800,000 years.

It therefore makes no sense to only attribute changes from after the point of detection since you'll miss the first 2 sigma of the change... Similarly, we can still calculate the forced component of a change even if it isn't the only thing going on, and indeed, before it is statistically detectable in the global mean temperature anomaly.

First of all, the observed changes in global mean temperatures are more easily calculated in terms of anomalies (since anomalies have much greater spatial correlation than absolute temperatures).

First I calculated the land - only, ocean - only and global mean temperatures and MSU - LT values for 5 ensemble members, then I looked at the trends in each of these timeseries and calculated the ratios.

-- What's the mean avg growth in global CO2 and CO2e last year and over the prior ~ 5 years — What's the current global surface temperature anomaly in the last year and in prior ~ 5 years — project that mean avg growth in CO2 / CO2e ppm increasing at the same rate for another decade, and then to 2050 and to 2075 (or some other set of years)-- then using the best available latest GCM / s (pick and stick) for each year or quarter update and calculate the «likely» global surface temperature anomaly into the out years — all things being equal and not assuming any «fictional» scenarios in any RCPs or Paris accord of some massive shift in projected FF / Cement use until such times as they are a reality and actually operating and actually seen slowing CO2 ppm growth.

Closing Note: The additional problems with measuring and calculating global mean sea surface temperature are discussed at length in numerous posts at ClimateAudit and in the papers that are the subjects of or the references used for those posts.

Figure 5: Global mean temperature calculated form glaciers.

We consider the Earth without an atmosphere and calculate an temperature on the basis of a radiative equilibrium -LSB-...] Then we obtain nearly 255 K and state that the difference between this value and the mean global temperature amounts to 33 K. Unfortunately, this uniform temperature of the radiative equilibrium has nothing to do with the mean global temperature derived from observations -LSB-...] ``

This means that the calculated global temperature trends are showing a lot more warming than the actual global temperature trends.

Delegates debated at length to find the clearest language possible to explain that a claimed «15 - year hiatus» is based on a single variable (global mean surface temperature), too short a period of observation for climatic significance, and sensitive to the choice of the starting year from which a 15 - year period is calculated.

The significance of straightness is that this is what Arrhenius calculated as the expected behavior of global mean surface temperature with rising CO2.

Despite all of the shortcomings of calculating a «mean global temperature,» it does exist.

From the above equation, the small change in global mean temperature (GMT) as a result of change in the radiation energy emitted by the globe may be calculated using the equation:

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.

Global mean temperatures from climate model simulations are typically calculated using surface air temperatures, while the corresponding observations are based on a blend of air and sea surface temperatures.

Note: Excel used to calculate the 3 - year absolute temperature and CO2 level averages; also used to calculate the moving 36 - month and 360 - month per century acceleration / deceleration trends (Excel slope function) as depicted on chart; the absolute temps calculated using the HadCRUT4 month anomalies and NOAA's monthly global mean temperature estimates; and, the 3 - year average beginning value for CO2 was offset to a zero starting place.

The model calculates the path of atmospheric CO2 and other GHG concentrations, global mean surface temperature, and mean sea level rise resulting from these emissions.

Future global vegetation carbon change calculated by seven global vegetation models using climate outputs and associated increasing CO2 from five GCMs run with four RCPs, expressed as the change from the 1971 — 1999 mean relative to change in global mean land temperature.

Calculating the global - mean temperature anomaly for a particular season based on the MSU is straightforward, because the measurements are densely spaced and global in extent.

Calculated in 2014 the rise in global mean temperature attributable to anthropogenic influences was 0.91?

It's some sort of leap of faith that if the calculated hypothetical equilibrium temperature increases then the global mean has to increase by that much.

Yet a «global mean temperature» is calculated, and the difference between two such calculations from data sets from different years, is suppose to be accurate to the 0.00 level.

Also, many scientists believe that CET, being calculated from a number of widely spread locations, in combination with the geographical location of Britain, is demonstrated to be a reasonable - but by no means perfect - proxy for global temperatures, and more notably that of the Northern Hemisphere.

Measurement sites form the core input of the data set for calculating this «global mean temperature» (whatever that actually means), but the measurements from these sites is accurate at best to the nearest 1 degree, in actual practice around the nearest 5 degrees since many are reading off mercury thermometers — and this condition increases in frequency the further back in time you go.

That's the point of my question — how do you claim to get 0.00 accuracy in order to claim that you know, for a scientific fact, that a «global mean temperature» for say 1940 can be calculated, compared to a «global mean temperature» for 2010, and the «difference» is 0.75 degrees Celsius, when the inputs aren't accurate to that level?

Now, given that the least significant digit of the input data is integer 1, or for later data integer 5, then how do you calculate a «result» based on this data has a GREATER accuracy than the input data — specifically, the claim that this calculated «global mean temperature» has increased by fractions of a degree celsius, and typically reported to the 0.00 degree accuracy.

Global mean surface temperature calculated by applying the weights of Fig. 1B to the linear discriminants that maximize the ratio interdecadal - to - interannual variability in the residual anomaly SST.

The increase in global mean temperatures between the preindustrial and the period 2090 — 2099 was calculated for all 40 simulations and rounded to one decimal point.

For example, the calculated increase in global mean surface temperature since the 19th century was given as 0.45 °C ± 0.15 °C, with no quantitative likelihood for this range (see Section 3.2).

As I understand it global temperatures are calculated as anomalies, thus removing seasonal swings, but that Heat Content is not, Now our dear planet has an elliptical orbit and is sometimes closer to the sun that others; sure, the shape of the land and oceans doesn't mean that the amount of incoming solar radiation falling on the oceans follows the Earths orbit, but it should be possible to work out the amount of incoming solar radiation each quarter.

However, the point I am making is that the efforts of the IPCC to define climate sensitivity will have no policy value if that which we measure (and the way in which we measure and calculate it) to achieve our records of global mean surface temperature is not in fact a true reflection of the heat energy at the surface.
