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.

One could model an increase in a local summer anomaly of 21 oC (in 1951, say) to 24.6 oC (in 2011) by a shift in the seasonal distribution of 18 oC cool days and 28 oC hot days from a ratio of 2 in 1951 to 0.5 in 2011.

[Response: Hansen's analysis was for seasonal anomalies — which are still averaging over a lot of weather.

[Response: Short term seasonal forecasting is very much an experimental endeavour and relies not on the predictability due to changes in forcings, but the persistence of ocean temperature anomalies.

While the local, seasonal climate forcing by the Milankovitch cycles is large (of the order 30 W / m2), the net forcing provided by Milankovitch is close to zero in the global mean, requiring other radiative terms (like albedo or greenhouse gas anomalies) to force global - mean temperature change.

In the latter (admittedly somewhat unusual) choice of baseline, the fraction of last July's temperature anomaly that is attributable to global warming is tiny, since most of the anomaly is perfectly natural and due to the seasonal cycle!

Normally we just plot the monthly anomalies (with respect to each month), but here I used the estimates of the seasonal cycle in temperature from MERRA2 to enhance the analysis so that months can be compared in an absolute sense.

Looking at specifics, Extremely Hot Summers (defined as a +3 - sigma seasonal anomaly) increased from 0.1 ~ 0.2 % of area in 1951 - 1981 base period to about 10 % last decade (2001 - 2011).

3) Snow cover: The radiative and thermal properties of widespread snow cover anomalies have the potential to modulate local and remote climate over monthly to seasonal time scales

The use of anomalies avoids this seasonal / regional variation, because when the climate isn't changing, neither will be the anomalies except for local noise.

Over monthly to seasonal time scales, persistence of the anomaly is pretty hard to beat.

Unfortunately, there is a seasonal component in those SST anomaly maps, and it's difficult to determine whether the seasonal component is enhancing or inhibiting the appearance of northward migration of warm waters.

Here are some typical examples of their maps of seasonal anomalies.

A more than +3 C anomaly — which was foreseen by most of the flagship international seasonal forecast models (like the American CFS and the European ECMWF), seemed, to many atmospheric scientists, to be an implausibly high outcome.

The only way you get in trouble is if the composition of the network is changing over time and if you do not remove the underlying climatology / seasonal cycle through the use of anomalies or similar methods.

An anomaly in my terminology (others can improve on this) is «the difference between an individual value and an estimate of the seasonal value for that time period.»

Carrick, since we can calculate anomalies from things other than surface station records, it wouldn't make sense to have the general definition of anomaly mention «the seasonal value.»

The expected value for a temperature station can be the seasonal value for that area, but that is only one type of anomaly.

We also tested for the effect of extreme temperatures on the proportion of male births using a temperature anomaly series [18] and additionally we considered two simpler hypotheses: that the monthly numbers of births, and the monthly proportions of male births, vary in a seasonal manner [16].

The Australian and regional seasonal and annual anomalies are calculated as arithmetic averages of their respective monthly average anomaly.

[Response: Yes, but the point I've been trying to make is that it's not the absolute magnitude of the anomaly that's important, it's the relative anomaly, as measured in standard deviations from the seasonal (or weekly or monthly or whatever) mean.
