Temperatures are given as deviations from
local seasonal averages, calculated for the period 1950 - 79.
For example since the temperature anomalies used in the analyses are
local seasonal averages, then an increase in the value of a temperature anomaly might arise simply from a shift in the local temperature distribution.

«We want to support our
local beef industry while adhering to our culinary direction of regional,
seasonal and artisanal,» Babian said on the event's website, adding that the resort purchases 21 - to 40 - day - aged whole beef carcasses from Kulana Foods,
averaging about two or three a month.
The wood - fire pizza oven churns out pizzas that are far from
average; the use of
local cheeses, cured meats and
seasonal toppings elevates this fast food staple to fine cuisine, and the generous portion sizes mean they're designed for sharing (great for getting up close and personal with your date).
Rather, they rely on trends in basin - wide
averaged monthly or
seasonal SSTs that are not necessarily representative of the
local marine environment experienced by tropical cyclones.
There can / will be
local and regional, latitudinal, diurnal and
seasonal, and internal variability - related deviations to the pattern (in temperature and in optical properties (LW and SW) from components (water vapor, clouds, snow, etc.) that vary with weather and climate), but the global
average effect is at least somewhat constrained by the global
average vertical distribution of solar heating, which requires the equilibrium net convective + LW fluxes, in the global
average, to be sizable and upward at all levels from the surface to TOA, thus tending to limit the extent and magnitude of inversions.)
The Hadley Centre have reprocessed this data into a 5 x 5 degree grid, calculated a similar grid of
local seasonal variations and produced a gridded database of monthly
average temperature deviations from this
seasonal climatology.
This is likely because we maximized the covariance between the sea ice field and the atmospheric circulation by restricting our time
averaging to the
seasonal mean and restricting our spatial domain to 0 ° — 180 ° W and 30 ° — 75 ° S. Inevitably, indices calculated from
local data will explain more
local variance than those based on remote data.
As I read it, the W (weather) function would not only include weather, as I would normally understand it, but the difference between the
local seasonal cycle and the globally
averaged seasonal cycle.
Climate is presumed to be
local weather
averaged out and incorporating
seasonal factors and natural variability.
