«Human - perceived temperature is rising faster than actual air temperature.»

The speed varies with the medium employed (for example, sound waves move faster through water than through air), as well as with the properties of the medium, especially temperature.

The former is likely to overestimate the true global surface air temperature trend (since the oceans do not warm as fast as the land), while the latter may underestimate the true trend, since the air temperature over the ocean is predicted to rise at a slightly higher rate than the ocean temperature.

«Climate Change, Sea Level, and Western Drought: Dangerous Anthropogenic Interference Learn why the American West could be in trouble with surface air temperatures rising faster than elsewhere in the coterminous United States.

When you consider that the day to day and month to month swings in the market are magnitudes smaller than the changes in air temperature on the occasions you dare venture outside during an ad break on Fast Money, it kind of brings a bit of perspective.

Did you know that car temperatures rise at a much faster rate than the outdoor air temperature?

Did you know that car temperatures rise at a much faster rate than the outside air temperature and can be a very deadly place for our pets on hot days.

«Climate Change, Sea Level, and Western Drought: Dangerous Anthropogenic Interference Learn why the American West could be in trouble with surface air temperatures rising faster than elsewhere in the coterminous United States.

Second, as Gavin pointed out, the land - ocean temperature index tends to underestimate the truth because it's based on sea surface temperature rather than air temperature, while the meteorological - station index temperature tends to overestimate the truth because land warms faster than ocean.

The former is likely to overestimate the true global surface air temperature trend (since the oceans do not warm as fast as the land), while the latter may underestimate the true trend, since the air temperature over the ocean is predicted to rise at a slightly higher rate than the ocean temperature.

Convection tends to occur where radiative processes alone would make the temperature drop with height faster than the rate that air cools as it rises (the greenhouse effect is important for that, too).

If a significant fraction of this heat lost from the ocean went into the atmosphere one might have expected the surface air temperature to have increased faster during this period than during the subsequent period of the 1990s when the ocean heat content gained > 5 X 10 ^ 22 J, but this is not what was observed (see reference Figure 2.7 c in the IPCC TAR Working group I).

My understanding is that the Arctic air temperatures are warming faster than the Antarctic.

100 years of 0.5 W / m2 energy imbalance can only raise ocean basin temperature 0.2 C which can not raise air temperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the otemperature 0.2 C which can not raise air temperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the otemperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the oTemperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the ocean floor.

Problem # 1 — «All things being equal, a bottle filled with CO2 will always warm faster and to a higher temperature when heated than does a bottle filled with regular air because the specific heat of CO2 is lower than that of air.»

The carbon dioxide filled bottle both heats up faster and reaches a higher temperature than the air filled bottle under the same powered heat lamp at the same distance from the bottle.

If what they believe is true — IR radiation is blocked by glass — then what is physically happening in these experiments is that the heat lamp is simply heating the container itself which in turn heats via conduction the gases inside of the container and again, the CO2 gas warms faster and to a higher temperature than the air because its specific heat is lower.

It may be a consequence of a period in which surface air temperature rose faster over land than it did over sea.

What the report says about climate change and the Arctic: Over the past 50 years, near - surface air temperatures across Alaska and the Arctic have increased at a rate more than twice as fast as the global average.

This is why gardeners will put water vapor in the air and water liquid on the ground around their garden on a clear cold night — it protects the local area from cooling as fast because water vapor and liquid both 1) cool much slower than dry air due to their massive heat capacity, and 2) cool even slower because they release their massive latent heat, which means that heat energy is released from them without requiring a drop in temperature — once they're in the latent heat release phase, they just keep shedding energy without dropping in temperature any further.

The increase in air temperature is not homogeneous throughout the globe — for instance, the Arctic is seeing a faster rate of warming than other areas.

Air temperature over land is increasing faster than over the oceans.

Since the 1980s, many climatologists have claimed that human activity has caused the near - surface air temperature to rise faster and higher than ever before in history.

Craig King - Further to Bob Loblaw's comments; that global surface air temperatures are warming faster than upper ocean temperatures is well - observed and completely uncontroversial.

Even over a small time period such as 20 minutes we are still able to get a difference of 4 °C in temperature between the two samples, the carbon dioxide warming more and faster than the air, see Figure 2.

This is partly because ice melts faster in water than it does in air, even if the air and the water are the same temperature.

Whereas SATs and SSTs may be very different (since air warms and cools much faster than water), their anomalies are very similar (if the water temperature is 5 degrees above normal, the air right above the water is also likely to be about 5 degrees warmer than normal).

Of course there is uncertainty in the trends (both from fitting the OLS line, + / -0.6 ºC, and structurally, since RSS has slightly different numbers), and there is no expectation that TLT and surface air temperature should have identical trends (overall, TLT should be increasing a little faster than SAT — but this is also subject to noise over relatively short periods).
