In my world, 0.4 degrees or less of variability is
just noise in the data and we spend a lot of time and money to ensure accuracy.
Not only are these short - term «pauses»
just noise in the data, but observations show that they are entirley expected, and predicted by climate models (i.e. see Meehl el al. 2011).
If you strip the scientific context of a globally rising temperature trend, you could argue that observed melting of sea ice is
just some noise in the data, part of natural variation.
Not exact matches
But LIGO saw only
just over one cycle of the Event's ringdown waves before the signal became buried once more
in the background
noise — not yet enough
data to provide a rigorous test of Vishveshwara's predictions.
If our measure was
just capturing random
noise in the
data rather than information about true principal quality, we would not expect it to be related to teacher quality and turnover.
Other
data are often
just noise: For example, it's interesting that children enrolled
in Head Start may be less likely to take to crime as adults, but it's pretty much irrelevant to judging the efficacy of an expensive government program that's failed to show much
in terms of student performance.
There's a reason for that: the hockey - stick shaped pattern is
in the
data, and it's not
just noise it's signal.
To get enough signal /
noise to detect a trend, you need to consider all hurricane
data, not
just those landfalling
in the US.

In this case even if they were correct and the models failed to predict or match reality (which, acc to this post has not been adequately established, bec we're still in overlapping data and model confidence intervals), it could just as well mean that AGW stands and the modelers have failed to include some less well understood or unquantifiable earth system variable into the models, or there are other unknowns within our weather / climate / earth systems, or some noise or choas or catastrophe (whose equation has not been found yet) thin

Let's compute the warming rate using each 30 - year segment of the Berkeley
data, together with the estimated uncertainty
in that rate, using an ARMA (1,1) model for the
noise just to feed the «uncertainty monster.»
If that is indeed the case then any apparent warming of 0.02 C as shown
in graphs 1 and 2 is
just noise and there is no evidence of any warming of the Oceans
in the ARGO
data.
Since year - to - year spikes
in the proxy
data may
just be
noise that brings
in other confounding factors, scientists average them out to get a nice smooth graph that is meaningful, not on a year - to - year or decade - to - decade level, but on a scale of centuries.
And, this division of the
data into gentle steps and jumps is really most likely
just seeing patterns
in noise.
Since the trend diverges a bit from the
data in earlier years and the «system» was possibly a little different then (e.g. higher estimation errors), I'm going to model
just a recent
noise sample — since 1970.
It can tell you whether or not your «hockey - stick» is a real signal
in the
data or
just an orthogonal component of the
noise.
Noise in the
data might distract us from seeing this, but Taminos «method» is
just flat out dumb.
