My submission is that one needs only to observe whether the net movement of air
over the entire globe at the surface is either from poles to equator or vice versa.
The discovery of ice ages in the distant past proved that climate could change
radically over the entire globe, which seemed vastly beyond anything mere humans could provoke.
The reason for this is that once they have reached the stratosphere, their degradation products remain up there for many years and
spread over the entire globe.
Study co-author Simon Hook, science division manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said satellite measurements provide a broad view of lake
temperatures over the entire globe.
«During an El Niño, the precipitation averaged
out over the entire globe doesn't change that much, but there can be big changes to where it happens.
The question this site raises (but does not empirically show, rather uses other work to bolster a hypothesis & question current knowledge) is whether the anthropogenic influence that can be
found over the entire globe creates so much noise in the dendro record such that initial «zeroing» or «calibration» is impossible due to anthro.
Eli: What makes the anthropogenic WMGHG forcing so unusual in the historical and geologic record is the fact that it is well
mixed over the entire globe.
My conclusion is that a careful observation of weather
patterns over the entire globe and, in particular, ascertaining whether there is a net average surface movement of air towards the poles or towards the equator should reveal whether there is an overall global warming or cooling trend at any particular time.
The Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) is unique in its ability to measure changes in ocean bottom pressure (OBP)
over the entire globe at large scales.
Instead of predicting a temperature at a particular place at a particular hour, climate modules project an average temperature over a year or longer in a large region or
over the entire globe.
FIGURE 4 - 3 Interannual variability in upper - ocean (upper 750 m) heat content integrated over the region from 20 ° N to 20 ° S (solid line) and
over the entire globe (dashed line).
Tamino you stated: «There are lots of fluctuations and lots of dynamical processes, but
over the entire globe and over long time spans it's the changes in energy inputs that dominate the trend.
