Sentences with phrase «coastal stations»

The fact that the land series when restricted to exclude cells with ocean data shows greater warming can be explained by considering coastal stations.

This change is inconsistent with the change in surface temperature: 15 coastal stations around Antarctica recorded an average warming of 0.028 degrees annually during 1959 - 88, i.e. three times the global average.

As mentioned in the previous article, restricting to land de-emphasises coastal stations which generally warm less slowly.

[edit: Chad also shows a version of the same effect (scroll down the very long post until you reach the red and black graphs): de-emphasising coastal stations increases trend]

In addition, land stations are allowed to provide temperature estimates for ocean cells where no sea surface temperature is available - in practice, this means that coastal stations around the Arctic provide temperature readings for the pole.

For example, coastal stations in Greenland are cooling and average summer air temperatures at the summit of the Greenland Ice Sheet have decreased by 4 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since measurements began in 1987.

The good news is that none of the institute's 200 staff members were hurt as the storm made landfall just a few dozen kilometers to the east of the coastal station, which focuses on conducting ecological, fisheries, and biogeochemistry research.

While it is said by NOAA sea levels rise by 1.7 - 1.8 mm per year, for coastal stations that is wrong, because NOAA adds 0.3 mm to allow for ocean floor lowering due to post glacial rebound, while this might be correct, for coastal stations the effect is more like 1.5 mm per year.

When excluding cells that have ocean data that means that a coastal station has its disc chopped in half (roughly), and an island station is almost entirely excluded.
