Whatever happened to the concept of
simply measuring the temperature at times and places on the earth surface that conform to the sampling requirements of standard sampled data system theory; i.e. Nyquist.
I talk a lot about how
simply measuring temperature and pulse is a far more accurate test for thyroid function than lab testing.
Thermal lapses in dynamic atmosphere go without saying — you can
simply measure the temperatures in a sounding of the troposphere.
Not exact matches
Simply measuring a few degrees rise in
temperature and guessing the effect on storms and sea levels tells only a very small part of the story on man's effect on our environment.
Ernst
simply takes the averages, modern science
simply (and rightfully) ignores the Bern data as completely unreliable, as these are the equivalent of
measuring temperature on an asphalted parking lot...
Temperatures measured by the ARGO floats and the XBTs before them are rising in the raw data, and the ocean heat content (OHC) is
simply observed
temperature change scaled by the thermal mass of the ocean layer in question - not some kind of complex model.
Temperature anomaly is simply the temperature measured in, say, Kelvins, minus the baseline t
Temperature anomaly is

temperature measured in, say, Kelvins, minus the baseline t
temperature measured in, say, Kelvins, minus the baseline

Coby, if the earth is warming as a result of increased periodic solar activity (or some other more complex reason) as suggested by the long term cycles mentioned above
measured before man was on earth or industrialized, is it posssible that the observed increases in CO2 in the atmosphere are
simply coming from warmer oceans, since liquids can not hold as much gas at a higher
temperature than they can at lower
temperature?
But I don't understand him as even being committed to the idea that dendros have the tools to
measure temperature in the absence of climate change,
simply because all kinds of things are going on with a tree as well as
temperature.
We further estimate that, in most northern hemispheric regions, these changes in the likelihood of extreme summer mean WBGT are roughly an order of magnitude larger than the corresponding changes in the likelihood of extreme hot summers as
simply measured by surface air
temperature.
This
measure is available for the US from the BEST data set... The reconfirmation now of a strong sun -
temperature relation based specifically upon the daytime
temperature maxima adds strong and independent scientific weight to the reality of the sun -
temperature connection... This suggests strongly that changes in solar radiation drive
temperature variations on at least a hemispheric scale... Close correlations like these
simply do not exist for
temperature and changing atmospheric CO2 concentration.»
To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land
temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in
temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands»
temperatures are often
measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters»
temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities
temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or
simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of
measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
But much stronger albedo effects (a
measure of how much sunlight is
simply reflected back out into space) might be generated by the high winds of the glacial era, giving 10 °C
temperature changes rather than the 1 °C excursion of the Little Ice Age.
1) With the classical analysis, one
simply measures the albedo of the earth, and with known incoming radiation, we can calculate the radiative balance
temperature easily.
For instance, they use multiple figures that have
simply made up data on them — purported
temperature reconstructions that are two different series with different baselines plotted together, inconsistent
measures of solar forcing to get better fits with different data, and most bizarrely of all, multiple slides all claiming that only ~ 3 %» of atmospheric CO2 is anthropogenic and that this is «0.12 %» of the greenhouse effect.
This we can
measure by
simply comparing the
temperature trends of true rural areas with urban areas.
