hemispheric specialization for sound processing — meaning that the left brain is better at processing fast sounds, and the right processing slow ones.
A number of recent studies indicate that effects of urbanisation and land
use change on the land - based temperature record are negligible (0.006 ºC per decade) as far as
hemispheric - and continental - scale averages are concerned because the very real but local effects are avoided or accounted for in the data sets
used.
More disappointing is the lossy DD 5.1 track — it's fine, but the picture has a fairly
hemispheric mix to start with, and it could sorely
use the added depth of Master Audio.

using split brain patients to investigate
hemispheric lateralisation of function.
The automatic adjustments
used in global gridded data probably do a good job for what they were designed to do (remove spurious trends from global or
hemispheric temperature series), but they should not be relied upon for more detailed local analysis, as Hansen et al. (1999) warned: «We recommend that the adjusted data be
used with great caution, especially for local studies.»
Using the empirical relationships between Greenland and the Northern Hemisphere surface air temperature data, we calculate that if Greenland was to become in phase with the
hemispheric pattern, as it did after 1923, an additional 1.08 — 1.68 C warming would occur.

Using WBGT as a measure of environmental conditions conducive to heat stress, we show that anthropogenic influence has very substantially increased the likelihood of extreme high summer mean WBGT in northern
hemispheric land areas relative to the climate that would have prevailed in the absence of anthropogenic forcing.
«In practice, this method, though not recommended, does not appear to unduly influence reconstructions of
hemispheric mean temperature; reconstructions performed without
using principal component analysis are qualitatively similar to the original curves presented by Mann et al..»
In this investigation, a circulation index was
used which is capable of tracing blocked states of the
hemispheric circulation which has a relevance for a mid-latitude window between 40 ° and 60 ° N and between 30 ° W and 30 ° E. Results with respect to the seasonality of blocking situations are presented.
«The fact that the drought atlases provide a nearly
hemispheric view of hydroclimate variability provides an incredible amount of information that can be
used to better understand what was happening in the atmosphere and ocean,» Coats said.
The

uses of what was already the gold standard of paleo - hydroclimate research, said Sloan Coats, a climate dynamicist at the University of Colorado who studies megadroughts
using the atlases.

Using the most current

Within the paleoclimate context, where the expectation is that each proxy is weakly correlated to the northern hemisphere mean (for two reasons: proxies generally have a weak correlation with local climate, which in turn is weakly correlated with a
hemispheric average) the LASSO as
used by MW2010 is simply not an appropriate tool.
E.g. Hegerl et al 2000 (linked by the SkS post)
use an estimate of the net climate forcing over the past milennium and an estimate of the (northern

The constructions of global and
hemispheric temperature averages by international agencies are the most prominent
use of the early data.
The earlier data that do exist may be
used to construct a very uncertain estimate of Australian temperatures, and may also be
used for the construction of global and
hemispheric temperature averages on monthly and annual time scales.
[Response: I'll assume you're simply unaware of the fact that extensive tests of precisely this issue were provided in the previous article by Mann et al (2008)(covered by RealClimate previously) which
used both «RegEM with TTLS» and «CPS» to reconstruct
hemispheric mean temperatures.
In the GISTEMP index, the tables of zonal, global,
hemispheric means are computed by combining the 100 subbox series for each box of the equal area grid, then combining those to get 8 zonal mean series, finally from those we get the Northern (23.6 - 90ºN), Southern and tropical means, always
using the same method.

As well as this simple estimate from heat balance implying a best estimate for ECS of approximately 1.6 °C, and the reworking of the Gregory 02 results suggesting a slightly lower figure, two good quality recent observationally - constrained studies
using relatively simple
hemispheric - resolving models also point to climate sensitivity being about 1.6 °C:
Put in a two - hemisphere energy - balance model and
using observed
hemispheric temperature changes and ocean heat uptake changes you can easily arrive at an independent total aerosol forcing estimate - one that also implies small net total aerosol forcings that are reasonably consistent with the latest observatiional findings.
Here we consider briefly some additional studies that examine the spatial structure of observed trends or
