With the contribution of such record warmth at year's end and with 10 months of the year record warm for their respective months, including the last 8 (January was second warmest for January and April was third warmest), the average global temperature across land and ocean surface areas for 2015 was 0.90 °C (1.62 °F) above the 20th century average of 13.9 °C (57.0 °F), beating the previous record warmth of 2014 by 0.16 °C (0.29 °F).

They are the most advanced tools currently available for simulating the response of the global climate system — including processes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and land surface — to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.

«GCM — General Circulation Model (sometimes Global Climate Model) which includes the physics of the atmosphere and often the ocean, sea ice and land surface as well.»

By comparing modelled and observed changes in such indices, which include the global mean surface temperature, the land - ocean temperature contrast, the temperature contrast between the NH and SH, the mean magnitude of the annual cycle in temperature over land and the mean meridional temperature gradient in the NH mid-latitudes, Braganza et al. (2004) estimate that anthropogenic forcing accounts for almost all of the warming observed between 1946 and 1995 whereas warming between 1896 and 1945 is explained by a combination of anthropogenic and natural forcing and internal variability.

Coverage includes original paleoclimatic, diagnostic, analytical and numerical modeling research on the structure and behavior of the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, biomass and land surface as interacting components of the dynamics of global climate.

We do have a global surface temperature that includes land, which is 30 % of the surface plus the oceans, so there is some error.

So no, there is no pause, and the global earth system — including the atmosphere, the ocean and the land surface — continues to warm.

Better characterization of the physical processes (including feedbacks) in the present coupled - global land surface climate models will certainly prove beneficial in stipulating future - projection scenarios and outcome.

Since then there are a number of papers published on why the warming was statistically insignificant including a recent one by Richardson et al. 2016 which tries to explain that the models were projecting a global tas (temperature air surface) but the actual observations are a combination of tas (land) and SST oceans, meaning projected warming shouldn't be as much as projected.

Many agricultural regions warm at a rate that is faster than the global mean surface temperature (including oceans) but slower than the mean land surface temperature, leading to regional warming that exceeds 0.5 °C between the +1.5 and +2.0 °C Worlds.

Monthly averages of global mean surface temperature (GMST) include natural variability, and they are influenced by the differing heat capacities of the oceans and land masses.

Note we're using BEST land area, so actual rates of warming are slightly elevated from global levels including sea surface temperatures, however BEST has enough resolution to allow us to work with 12.5 years of temperature data and not have such abysmal CI as to need to reject the comparisons outright..

Perhaps if it is so simple, you can explain it to all those simpletons who keep publishing all those graphs labeled «global warming» that only include land surface air temps.

Other potential causes of climate change include the depletion of stratospheric ozone in recent decades, again through human activities, and global changes in the surface reflectivity — or albedo — of the planet, as we modify the patterns of vegetation that cover the land.

The hypothesized causal factors include global warming, atmospheric brown clouds, land surface modification, recovery from the mini ice - age, and large scale drying of the air among other factors.

Study teams have been established and international cooperation among space agencies has been stimulated to explore four representative Constellation prototypes, including atmospheric composition, global precipitation, land surface imaging, and ocean surface topography.

There are many other human - induced stresses on life, including land conversion with habitat destruction, species overharvesting, homogenization of biota, and ubiquitous toxins, which must be dealt with, yet global warming caused by fossil fuel burning may be a unique threat because of the millennial time scale of anthropogenic carbon within surface carbon reservoirs.
