«The data
showed that both greenhouse gases and
sea surface temperature anomalies contributed strongly to the risk of snow drought in Oregon and Washington,» said Mote, a professor in OSU's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
Shown below is the current Pacific
sea surface temperature anomaly chart by NOAA.
An El Nino analysis released by the national weather service last week says
sea surface and sub-
surface temperature anomalies were consistent with El Niño during December, but the overall atmospheric circulation continued to
show only limited coupling with the warm water.
The regression - based forecast submitted by Tivy for the Greenland
Sea (Figure 7) also shows a reduction in September sea ice area compared to 2009 based on fall (Sep - Oct - Nov) sea surface temperature anomalies in the North Atlant

The maps above
show average
sea surface temperatures and
anomalies for August 2007 to 2010.
Using a statistical model based on canonical correlation analysis with fall
sea surface temperature anomalies in the North Atlantic as the main predictor, Tivy
shows below - normal ice concentrations throughout most of the region (Figure 12), which suggests an earlier - than - normal opening of the shipping season.
Here we use an ensemble of simulations with a coupled ocean — atmosphere model to
show that the
sea surface temperature anomalies associated with central Pacific El Niño force changes in the extra-tropical atmospheric circulation.
To help
show those multiyear effects, I've animated
sea surface temperature,
sea level, TLT, cloud amount, ocean currents, ocean heat content, precipitation, equatorial Pacific subsurface
temperature anomaly cross-sections.
If you are referring to the «globally and annually averaged land and
sea surface temperature anomaly», then this indicator has
shown «cooling» since the end of 2000 (12 years) and lack of warming since the end of 1997 (15 years).
The map below
show current
sea surface temperature anomalies — that is the difference from average
temperatures.
Girma is
showing you actual physical observations (warts and all) of the globally and annually average land and
sea surface temperature anomaly over time.
As can be seen from the curve below, the HadCRUT3 «globally and annually averaged land and
sea surface temperature anomaly»
shows slight (if statistically insignificant) cooling over the past 15 years (180 months).
By using the
Sea Surface Temperature anomalies instead of the PDO, Stevenson et al could then have shown that the negative trends of the SST anomalies before and after the 1976 Pacific Climate Shift...... and how they related to the negative trends in Alaskan surface temperatures before and afte
Surface Temperature anomalies instead of the PDO, Stevenson et al could then have
shown that the negative trends of the SST
anomalies before and after the 1976 Pacific Climate Shift...... and how they related to the negative trends in Alaskan
surface temperatures before and afte
surface temperatures before and after 1976.
Sorry I don't have graphs of
surface air
temperatures or TLT for the tropical Pacific, but to help
show this using
sea surface temperatures, not
anomalies, the following graph captures the
sea surface temperature gradients across the equatorial Pacific one year before the peak of the 1997/98 El Niño, at its peak, and at the peak of the trailing first La Niña season: And as
sea surface temperature anomalies:
2) The satellite tropospheric and
sea surface (SST) data differ from the HADCRUT
surface temp
anomaly, with the present
temperatures of both right at the same level as in 1991 (while Fig. 1 here
shows an increase over 1991 of about 0.25 °C).
Doing this on a year - to - year basis
shows NO apparent correlation with the absolute «globally and annually averaged land and
sea surface temperature anomaly» (i.e. HadCRUT3), but does
show a weak correlation with the CHANGE in
temperature from the previous year, for example:
Since 1850, the «globally and annually averaged land and
sea surface temperature anomaly» (HadCRUT3 or 4) has
shown a linear increase of 0.7 C.
The sequence
shows a superposition of
sea surface temperature anomalies on
anomalies of the
sea surface elevation.
Figure 6
shows the global land
surface air
temperature plus
sea surface temperature anomalies (average of GISS LOTI, HADCRUT4 and NCDC datasets, like The Escalator) before, during and after the 1997/98 El Niño.
The
sea surface temperature anomalies for the East Pacific
show cooling if they're adjusted for volcanic aerosols:
Now, here's Figure 4 from Pavlakis et al (2008) that
shows downward shortwave radiation over the central equatorial Pacific varying inversely with NINO3.4
