[26] There are ongoing efforts to resolve differences in satellite temperature datasets.

How can they make such an assumption if already satellite temperature reconstruction have such a large spread in the tropics?

For years, scientists have been debating why satellite temperature data shows there have been about 18 years with no warming trend.

But satellite temperature records only go back to 1979.

The two satellite temperature measurements are more appealing, but they have their issues also.

Again, we saw from 30 years of satellite temperatures that global satellite data matches ocean temperatures rather closely.

From my comments to this post on comparing IPCC forecasts to reality, I had a couple of thoughts on satellite temperature measurement that I wanted to share:

An analysis of satellite temperature dataset, through February 2014, identifies only two 5 - year periods having significant warming and five periods that exhibit either zero warming or cooling... the consensus experts» predicted reaction, by the climate, to a surge of human CO2 emissions is not supported by empirical evidence

According to the global satellite temperature record maintained by John Christy and Roy Spencer at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, 2012 was the ninth warmest year globally since 1979.

Like today's 15 - year «hiatus,» (the «hiatus» grows to 21 years when looking at satellite temperature data for the lower atmosphere) scientists have tried to explain the «grand hiatus» away by adjusting it out of the data to correct for «biases» in thermometers that may have caused the world to appear warmer than it was.

There are unfortunately many graphics going around that fail to do this properly, and some prominent ones are associated with satellite temperatures made by John Christy.

As satellite temperature records show much larger fluctuations due to ENSO events, that has the effect in his graph of shifting the post 2000 temperatures below those of the 1990s.

There has to be an obvious and simple flaw in the using of lower troposphere satellite temperatures at 3,000 m elevation to guesstimate actual surface polar temperatures.

It seems that attacks on the validity of the surface temperature record as an attempt to cast doubt on the recent warming trend would have been a bit more convincing back in the day when there were competing satellite temperature records that suggested a cooling trend.

They also have been adjusting recent temperature records UP despite satellite temperature measurements matching the unadjusted records.

«There are now three or four satellite temperature time series of the atmosphere, six years ago there was one.

It's long been a challenge for engineers to keep satellite temperatures from fluctuating wildly.

These divergences suggest that there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding satellite temperature records that needs to be resolved, as the range of reasonable assumptions for corrections can lead to large differences in results.

Eli has transcribed the part of the interview about the sainted satellite temperatures:

The meaning of the slope coefficient is that, on average, if surface temperature goes up 1 degree, satellite temperatures go up by 0.76 degrees.

One would certainly expect satellite temperature data to differ somewhat to data collected by thermometers on the Earth's surface.
