In Australia a consequence of this is that ACORN - SAT is generally
cooler than satellite MSU - lt during wet La Niña years such as 2010 and 2011, and warmer during prolonged dry El Niño conditions such as those which prevailed in the early 1990s.
The sondes in particular have shown a lot more
cooling than the satellites, almost certainly too much, leading one to wonder whether their tropospheric trends are also too low.
Not exact matches
Henry will find Isleworth, where the
satellite company is based, rather less stimulating
than New York's
coolest district.
January through August of 1998 are all in the 14 warmest months in the
satellite record, and that El Niño started when global temperatures were somewhat chilled; the global average temperature in May 1997 was 0.14 C (about 0.25 degrees F)
cooler than the long - term seasonal norm for May.
However,
satellite observations are notably
cooler in the lower troposphere
than predicted by climate models, and the research team in their paper acknowledge this, remarking: «One area of concern is that on average... simulations underestimate the observed lower stratospheric
cooling and overestimate tropospheric warming... These differences must be due to some combination of errors in model forcings, model response errors, residual observational inhomogeneities, and an unusual manifestation of natural internal variability in the observations.»
A unique aspect of the game is the
satellite camera mode which, on its own, is little more
than a
cool video effect but, in reality, demonstrates the scale of the game's battlefields.
But then I pointed you to another series of 4 more up - to - date
satellite graphs, all of which show 2015 as
cooler than 1998.
'' But the dispute that started this exchange (some time ago) centered on a claim that, according to the
satellite data, 2015 was
cooler than 1998.
The graph displayed by Cox is inconsistent with the
satellite data, where in all cases 2015 is
cooler than 1998, and there are no record years since then — though 2010 comes close.
So is the idea that the
satellite measurements are of the sea surface temperature, which is predicted to be
cooler than the air temperature immediately above it?
The» top ten» arguments employed by the relatively few deniers with credentials in any aspect of climate - change science (which arguments include «the sun is doing it», «Earth's climate was changing before there were people here», «climate is changing on Mars but there are no SUVs there», «the Earth hasn't been warming since 1998», «thermometer records showing heating are contaminated by the urban - heat - island effect», «
satellite measurements show
cooling rather
than warming») have all been shown in the serious scientific literature to be wrong or irrelevant, but explaining their defects requires at least a paragraph or two for each one.
The last stage of climate denial involves checking the
satellite temperature records over the last 20 years, and seeing that the earth is
cooler now
than in 1988.
If there was no warming between 1980 and say around 1996 (the last date for the tree rings) as the
satellite data suggested then the paper should have concluded that the Northern Hemisphere was still some 0.2 to 0.4 degC
cooler than it was in 1940.
A lot of the time they are very close, but some years the surface records from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) are
cooler by a full half a degree
than the UAH
satellite readings.
The 2009 State of the Climate report gives these top indicators: humans emitted 30 billion tons of of CO2 into the atmosphere each year from the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas), less oxygen in the air from the burning of fossil fuels, rising fossil fuel carbon in corals, nights warming faster
than days,
satellites show less of the earth's heat escaping into space,
cooling of the stratosphere or upper atmosphere, warming of the troposphere or lower atmosphere, etc..
Scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have also reported that
satellite measurements show that sea ice now covers about 2 percent more area around Antarctica
than it did two decades ago, another suggestion of recent
cooling.
First they claimed the
satellites showed
cooling, then they claimed it showed less warming
than measured at the surface, and Spencer and Christy caught none of their own errors, but fought against admitting them, obstinately and in opposition to overwhelming evidence.
You can anticipate a little
cooler anomalies
than recently reported, maybe by a few hundredths of a degree, due to a small warming drift we have identified in one of the
satellites carrying the AMSU instruments.
And then there is the
satellite record, which has no UHI effect and has a warming trend that is 0.03 C per decade
cooler that the surface trend, even though GH theory tells us the troposphere should be warming faster
than the surface..
And, the most recent and most accurate data we have ever had — based on information gathered using
satellites — shows that the oceans have been
cooling for more
than a decade.

UAH global temperatures trend equals global sea surface temperatures: The black temperature graph — average RSS+UAH
satellite NH (Land + Sea)-- has a smaller warming trend
than the other (brown) land data series — but in fact resembles the
cooler Sea Surface Temperature trend.
