According to Dr. Natali, «Our results
show that while permafrost degradation increased carbon uptake during the growing season, in line with
decadal trends of «greening» tundra, warming and permafrost thaw also enhanced winter respiration, which doubled annual carbon losses.»
«Wavelet analysis
shows that this relative urban warming
trend was primarily manifested in the form of multi -
decadal and interseasonal cycles that are likely attributable to gradual increased winter heating in Ottawa (heat island effects) associated with population growth.
I focused on Fig 2 of Rahmstorf 2012, which
shows the rate of sea level change in the form of 10 yr
decadal trends.
Holgate (2007)
showed decadal rates of sea - level rise (linear
trends over 10 years), but as we have
shown in Rahmstorf et al. (2012), those vary wildly over time simply as a result of sampling noise and are not consistent across different data sets (see Fig. 2 of our paper).
I just give you data that
shows, on the backcast, the models, surprisingly, hit all the
decadal trends since 1950 in a signal it was supposedly not tuned to match.
At longer (
decadal) time scales, the models still
show very similar results (which makes sense since we anticipate that the tropical atmospheric physics involved in the
trend should be similar to the physics involved at the monthly and interannual timescales).
While that is possible, the so - called Pacific
Decadal Oscillation (PDO) index that is used to characterize decadal and multi-decadal variability of the Pacific Ocean has not shown a significant increasing or decreasing three - decade trend from the 1980's to the 2000's (it's dominated by quasi-decadal fluctuation since

decadal fluctuation since 1980).
In some models, the
decadal variability for monsoons such as the South Asian monsoon also outweighs the magnitude of the future
trends, and in others it does not (the review above is one example
showing this).
For example the increasing
trend in the coherent NHSM
decadal precipitation
shown in the paper (Figure S3B: the spatial pattern and associated principal component time series of the EOF) in fact suggest a weakening over recent decades in much of India and East Asia.
On longer time scales, the two longest time series (using independent criteria for selection, quality control, interpolation and analysis of similar data sets)
show good agreement about long - term
trends and also on
decadal time scales.
James Risbey and I published a paper last Sunday with colleagues that used a set of maps in one of the figures to
show the modeled and observed
decadal trends (Kelvin / decade) of Sea Surface Temperature (SST).
Both the
decadal trends and the shift in the date of minimum
show distinctly non linear variability.
Yet then after that you say, with apparent complete confidence, that on a (multi)-
decadal scale instrumental records
show a positive
trend.
Climatologies of Rocky Mountain snowpack are
shown to be seasonally and regionally complex, with Pacific
decadal variability positively reinforcing the anthropogenic warming
trend.
One can arbitrarily select short term (e.g.,
decadal) intervals to
show trends in various directions, but based on the history of the past century, they have little value in evaluating the longer term
trends.
A 35 - year dust record established from Barbados surface dust and satellite observations from TOMS and the European geostationary meteorological satellite (Meteosat)
show the importance of climate control and Sahel drought for interannual and
decadal dust variability, with no overall
trend yet documented (Chiapello et al., 2005).
Anthony Watts posted: NCDC data
shows that the contiguous USA has not warmed in the past decade, summers are cooler, winters are getting colder Burt Rutan sent Watts «Winter Trends in the United States in the Last Decade»
showing the winter
decadal trend from 2001/02 to 2011/10.
The period 1993 - 2003
showed +2.5 mm / year rise over this period (IPCC AR4 reported +3.1 mm / year, but concedes that it is unclear whether this faster rate «reflects
decadal variability or an increase in the longer - term
trend»).
If the sea ice around Antarctica is growing (on a
decadal trend basis)-- which any schoolboy analysis of freely available basic data
shows...... what does this tell you about the certainty of global warming?
Unforced variability of global temperature is great, as
shown in Figure 4, but the global temperature
trend on
decadal and longer time scales is now determined by the larger human - made climate forcing.
Different approaches
show very similar long - term
trends, but noticeably different interannual and
decadal - scale variability.
And yet we have observations that
show large variability against a small
trend and
decadal shifts in trajectory.
Comparing the last two
decadal trends shown above, what is your conclusion regarding the warming rates?
37) would
show a positive
trend over the previous 40 yr in a regression analysis, even though the main feature was a single
decadal warming episode in the 1980s that was followed by cool anomalies.»
My results
shown in the table in the first link below agree well with those in Marvel using the run averages, but the individual runs in my
decadal analysis are similar to those were I used yearly regression and
show large
trend differences with some forcing categories having very wide CI ranges.
O.K. Give me a page reference where a statistical test has been performed that
shows that the recent
decadal trend has a slope that is statistically significantly different to the 30 year
trend.
If skeptics attempted to state the global average temperature of the LIA or MWP within tenths of a degree, and published
trends purporting to
show temperatures with such precision over
decadal and century time periods, then it would be inconsistent with criticisms of the claims of the consensus regarding both current and paleo temperature sets.
``... The nearly 50 - yr time series
shows that the
decadal change of the global oceanic evaporation (Evp) is marked by a distinct transition from a downward
trend to an upward
trend around 1977 — 78.
The observed changes (lower panel; Trenberth and Fasullo 2010)
show the 12 - month running means of global mean surface temperature anomalies relative to 1901 — 2000 from NOAA [red (thin) and
decadal (thick)-RSB- in °C (scale lower left), CO2 concentrations (green) in ppmv from NOAA (scale right), and global sea level adjusted for isostatic rebound from AVISO (blue, along with linear
trend of 3.2 mm / year) relative to 1993, scale at left in mm).
Now the data assessed on the
decadal scale
shows no reason to divert from the null hypotheses that snow extent is randomly hovering about a stable mean, although we have identified some concerns with variability (In winter snow only (periods 12,01,02)-RRB- The question still remains as to whether there are shorter period
trends or particular years that are unusual.
