Abstract: Wind power fluctuations at the turbine and farm scales are generally not expected to be
correlated over large distances.
However, temperature anomalies are much better
correlated over large distances, and this is why the global mean temperature calculations use local anomalies not absolute temperatures.

It's worth noting that these kinds of comparisons work because of
large distance over which the monthly temperature anomalies
correlate.

For example, anomalies are
correlated over fairly
large distances: If it was warmer than average in NYC this year, it was also likely warmer than average in Boston and Montreal and Philadelphia even though the actual average value in this different cities might be fairly different.
