Although the regions largely coincide with the continents rather than
climatological criteria, the annual
mean temperature averaged over these regions explains 90 % of the global
mean annual
temperature variability in the instrumental record»
«Our results demonstrate that the
climatological relationship between
mean monthly
temperature and snowfall is neither simple nor straightforward.
So, for example, HadCRU and GISS each provide a
climatological datum of
mean global
temperature for a single year and present it as a difference (i.e. an anomaly) from the average
mean global
temperature of a 30 year 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.
The difference in climatology from one location to the next is accounted for in the anomaly calculation itself — since anomalies are the departure from the
mean temperature, and since the
mean temperature is defined from a standard
climatological period.
It's common knowledge among experienced professionals that, outside the English - speaking world, other countries use a great variety of methods in determining the «
mean monthly
temperature,» which is the customary datum used in
climatological work.
The distributions of
temperature and rainfall provided by ensemble simulations (typically 40 - 50 for each forecast) often do not even bound the extreme events and the ensemble
mean is biased towards a
climatological mean and does not capture extreme events.
