Plotting
these temperatures as anomalies (by removing the mean over a common baseline period)(red lines) reduces the spread, but it is still significant, and much larger than the spread between the observational products (GISTEMP, HadCRUT4 / Cowtan & Way, and Berkeley Earth (blue lines)-RRB-:

And it finds that, while this winter's unusually strong Arctic Oscillation - which funnels cold northern air to the East Coast and pulls warm mid-latitude air up to the Arctic - is predicted
as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise, seasonal
temperature anomalies associated with it aren't enough to blunt long - term warming trends.
«You can find sea surface
temperature anomalies online, you can look at the signs of the Pacific decadal oscillations and El Niño
as well — the data aren't behind some sort of paywall, anyone can Google it,» she said.
As I understand it, they refer to the
anomaly versus the previous 100 years of global average
temperatures.
The answer is that in figure 3 we are plotting the solar induced
temperature anomaly relative to the year 1900, and not an
anomaly relative to the mean 1960 - 1990,
as it is usually done for the
temperature as fig 1 show.
On particular case in point was this past winters extremely warm periods, in fact
as I can recall Michael Mann write, about North Americas sea of red

as something which is supposed to happen «20 years» from now.
1) The bet proposed in World Climate Report (www.worldclimatereport.com) that you refer to
as «Michaels» was made in December 1998 and pertained to the trend in monthly UAH 2LT global
temperature anomalies from 1998 - 2007.
The westerlies in the Northern Hemisphere, which increased from the 1960s to the 1990s but which have since returned to about normal
as part of NAO and NAM changes, alter the flow from oceans to continents and are a major cause of the observed changes in winter storm tracks and related patterns of precipitation and
temperature anomalies, especially over Europe.
Even so, the IPCC estimates above indicate: 1) Total Net Atmospheric Carbon Emissions to 2100 will amount to ~ 2050 PgC (or more) on current Trends, 2) A BAU projected estimate would push CO2 to ~ 952 ppm by 2100 (or more), and 3) Global average
temperature increase /
anomaly would be
as high
as ~ 6.8 C by 2100
Figure 4 on page 11 of the SPM of the IPCC's Working Group I clearly shows that the «
Temperature Anomalies» attributed (in models) to anthropogenic causes in the 1890s was
as high
as the 1950s and 1960s.
Take
as example: «That is to say, that if a station in Tennessee has a particular warm or cool month, it is likely that
temperatures in New Jersey say, also had a similar
anomaly.»
And
as satellite instrument
temperatures tend to lag the El Niño
temperature anomalies by some 4 months, further surface cooling is expected to show up in the satellite data over the coming months.
Nevertheless, the large dip during 2016 in both difference series is clearly down to rapid Arctic warming,
as the following chart showing
temperature anomaly by latitude makes very clear.
Atmospheric circulation,
temperature, water vapour, and clouds are examined;
as well
as ocean
temperature anomalies, currents, and behaviour are discussed.
During El Nino events the ocean circulation changes in such a way
as to cause a large and temporary positive sea surface
temperature anomaly in the tropical Pacific.
But... once the records are converted to
anomalies relative to some baseline such
as 1961 - 1990, there would be absolutely no difference in the results of the two approaches for global
temperature anomalies!
But
as you can see in the NASA figure above, the record breaking heat wasn't uniformly distributed — it was particularly pronounced at the top of the world, showing
temperature anomalies above 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the 1951 to 1980 average in this region.
As the effects of
temperature anomalies on the PDSI are small compared to precipitation
anomalies (Guttman, 1991), the PDSI is largely controlled by precipitation changes.
Alaska is an
anomaly, with
temperatures rising an average of 3 degrees in the last 60 years, twice
as fast
as the continental U.S. Scientists predict that
temperatures will rise another two to four degrees by 2050.

Anomaly (950 to 1250) that were in some regions
as warm
as in the mid-20th century and in others
as warm
as in the late 20th century.
global average sfc T
anomalies [
as] indicative of
anomalies in outgoing energy... is not well supported over the historical
temperature record in the model ensemble or more recent satellite observations
I propose the following test: Using annual CO2 and
temperature levels (not
anomalies), take logs and differences
as Lanbury does (thus getting, essentially, yearly percent changes).
Human induced trend has two components, namely (a) greenhouse effect [this includes global and local / regional component] and (b) non-greenhouse effect [local / regional component]-- according to IPCC (a) is more than half of global average
temperature anomaly wherein it also includes component of volcanic activities, etc that comes under greenhouse effect; and (b) contribution is less than half — ecological changes component but this is biased positive side by urban - heat - island effect component
as the met network are concentrated in urban areas and rural - cold - island effect is biased negative side
as the met stations are sparsely distributed though rural area is more than double to urban area.
The recent tropical LT
anomalies have been way below the surface
temperature as far
as I can tell, and thus ought to bring down the tropical tropospheric
temperature trend relative to the surface.
This can be
as simple
as assuming an estimate of the global mean surface
temperature anomaly is truly global when it in fact has large gaps in regions that are behaving anomalously.
Take
as example: «That is to say, that if a station in Tennessee has a particular warm or cool month, it is likely that
temperatures in New Jersey say, also had a similar
anomaly.»
I've seen the blue blobs of
temperature anomalies and read —
as far
as I am able to comprehend — the materials on the breakdown of the AMOC, along with following cryosphere melting.
There are two very basic answers: First, looking at changes in data gets rid of biases at individual stations that don't change in time (such
as station location), and second, for surface
temperatures at least, the correlation scale for
anomalies is much larger (100's km) than for absolute
temperatures.
Doesn't using a «baseline for
anomaly calculation» «equal to the time span being analyzed» decrease REAL extreme weather event probabilities much the same way
as using a sliding baseline minimizes the slope of
temperature increase?
The global
temperature anomaly is what your thermostat reads
as the actual
temperature.
One of the most common questions that arises from analyses of the global surface
temperature data sets is why they are almost always plotted
as anomalies and not
as absolute
temperatures.
Anyhow, I question the validity of FFT analysis of the final GISS and HadCRUT3
temperature anomaly products — because they have been so «averaged»
as to be suspect for that purpose.
All siding with its infinite growth paradigm, so I'm not surprised to see you writing counter-pieces to the harsh truth, which,
as it stands, is that we have a pretty much dead and severely warming ocean, daily record - breaking jet - stream related weather incidents, which in turn are caused by polar
temperature anomalies of +20 C
as of late.
Moreover, not even the most extreme scenario for the next century predicts
temperature changes over North America
as large
as the
anomalies witnessed this past month.
As confirmation, the correlation between CO2 levels and CRU
temperature anomalies (see above) is r = 0.912, p < 1.43 x 10 ^ -64.

as the foundation of the composition was the Combined Land - Surface Air and Sea - Surface Water
Temperature Anomalies Zonal annual means.)
I have come to see modeling global
temperature anomalies as a similar pastime.
If you consider
as a decade - long
anomaly in
temperature or precip over a relatively local area (e.g., the dustbowl) to be «climate», I presume you will get fewer quarrels that climate can be chaotic.
Isn't this a deliberate manipulation of data, which results in far lower
temperature anomalies being reported by NOAA
as «data»?
Again,
as the
temperature anomaly associated with this jump dissipates, we hypothesize that the climate system will return to its signal
as defined by its pre-1998 behavior in roughly 2020 and resume warming.
If a certain month had a
temperature anomaly the same
as one back in 1995, there can not have been any global warming in 20 years, can there.
Among these deniers» points are items such
as local
temperature anomalies, erratic cause and effect timelines, claims that the climate is projected to actually cool -LRB-!)
You must, therefore, be able to determine what the
temperature anomalies (w.r.t 1951 - 80 mean
as per GISS) for those 3 years — if Pinatubo had not taken place.
Here's the background: «

The difference of adding 1998 is greater here than with the surface data, because the response of tropospheric
temperature to ENSO is twice
as large
as that of surface
temperatures to ENSO (in other words, the 1998
anomaly is much larger in the satellite data).
As a final step, after all station records within 1200 km of a given grid point have been averaged, we subtract the 1951 - 1980 mean
temperature for the grid point to obtain the estimated
temperature anomaly time series of that grid point.
Getting past the number crunching, it summarizes the impact of
temperature anomalies as: +1.5 — «Systems are cracking» (e.g. Greenland, WAIS, permafrost.
About taking differences (current period figures less prior period figures) of
anomalies: the
anomalies are the value less the monthly mean (i.e., the mean for the particular month over the years, in this case 32 full years),
as is the usual practice with climate data (most notably
temperature).
