global /
hemispheric surface temperatures that cover all or significant portions of the last mil -
I took
the hemispheric surface temperature data that were adjusted for ENSO and volcanoes and further adjusted them with the datasets that were intended to illustrate the secondary effects of ENSO.
Our examination does suggest that a slight modification to the original Mann et al. reconstruction is justfiable for the first half of the 15th century (∼ +0.05 — 0.10 º), which leaves entirely unaltered the primary conclusion of Mann et al. (as well as many other reconstructions) that both the 20th century upward trend and high late - 20th century
hemispheric surface temperatures are anomalous over at least the last 600 years.
The image is projected onto
a hemispheric surface and expands rapidly to fill the fly's visual field, simulating the approach of a predator.

As we can see from the images, the wireless charger features portable
hemispheric design, and its Qi wireless charging standard allows you to simply put your Google Nexus 4 on the flat
surface for charging, while the angled
surface provides you easy visibility of your Nexus 4.
The compilation of a
hemispheric or global land
surface data time series from irregularly distributed (in time and space) historical thermometer observations can never be «correct» in an absolute sense.
Proxy - based reconstructions of
hemispheric and global
surface temperature variations over the past two millennia Michael E. Mann, Zhihua Zhang, Malcolm K. Hughes, Raymond S. Bradley, Sonya K. Miller, Scott Rutherford, and Fenbiao Ni PNAS September 9, 2008 vol.
While the
hemispheric asymmetries are slightly larger for aerosols, the overall
surface pattern is quite similar to that for greenhouse gases (albeit with a different sign).
Here we show that the
hemispheric differences in temperature trends in the middle of the twentieth century stem largely from a rapid drop in Northern Hemisphere sea
surface temperatures of about 0.3 6C between about 1968 and 1972.
Using the empirical relationships between Greenland and the Northern Hemisphere
surface air temperature data, we calculate that if Greenland was to become in phase with the
hemispheric pattern, as it did after 1923, an additional 1.08 — 1.68 C warming would occur.
It is not enough to look at global or
hemispheric means of
surface temperature and note that the models are not that far from producing internal variability of the right magnitude — perhaps most existing models only do this once in a blue moon, but I can imagine increasing the variance at low frequencies by a factor of two, say, so that the required magnitude is achieved more frequently.
We further estimate that, in most northern
hemispheric regions, these changes in the likelihood of extreme summer mean WBGT are roughly an order of magnitude larger than the corresponding changes in the likelihood of extreme hot summers as simply measured by
surface air temperature.

Mann even showed the same hockey stick pattern * without * the tree ring proxies that some people had objected to: «Proxy - based reconstructions of
hemispheric and global

The standard deviation of the monthly MSU 2R anomalies has a much more zonally symmetric structure (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) so that relative to the
surface there is a much larger contribution from the northern oceans and a generally smaller contribution over land and near the equator to the
hemispheric and global means.

surface temperature variations over the past two millennia.
Dating back into the late nineteenth century, the data coverage has been dense enough to reveal the existence of gradual changes in
hemispheric - and global - mean
surface temperature.
On the relationship between global,
hemispheric and latitudinal averaged air
surface temperature (GISS time series) and solar activity, Souza Echer et al, 10/2008; read more here.

«The
hemispheric - mean decline in winter ice extent is due in large part to increasing sea -
surface temperatures in the Barents Sea and adjoining waters, which are consistent with increased concentrations of greenhouse gases.»
Global or
hemispheric warming may also strongly impact Southwest drought indirectly through influences on global sea
surface temperatures (SSTs) and ocean / atmosphere dynamics.
Comparison of empirical evidence with proxy - based reconstructions demonstrates that natural factors appear to explain relatively well the major
surface temperature changes of the past millennium through the 19th century (including
hemispheric means and some spatial patterns).
Correlation structures in
surface temperature Another extension is to examine the lagged and cross-correlation structure of observed and simulated
hemispheric mean temperature as in Wigley et al., (1998a).
Yamaha's sound projector line of products have been taking aim at
surfaces from the front of the room to simulate traditional surround sound for some time now, but the Atmos channels lump in a «
hemispheric» dimension for a whole new level of immersion.
