In the case of Scottsbluff, Vatistas and his team found that the temperature inside the tornado would have dropped from a comfortably
warm background temperature of 27o C to a chilly 12o C. And at the tornado's centre, the researchers estimated the air density would have been 20 per cent lower than what's found at high altitudes.

Background When water is
warm or even room
temperature, its molecules are moving around, bumping into one another.
But the CMB was hotter earlier on in the universe — Avi Loeb of Harvard University has previously pointed out the universe's
background temperature would be 300 kelvin (27 ˚C) around 15 million years after the big bang, making it
warm enough to host liquid water.
While weather and natural climate patterns play a role in
temperatures across the U.S., the overall
background warming of the planet has tipped the odds in favor of heat records and away from cold ones.
It is this
background warming from the heat trapped by greenhouse gases that actually accounts for most of the predictability in future
temperature change, said Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Penn State.
The point at which a trend becomes clear within the average
temperature data for a given region — known as the «time of emergence» — depends on when the source of the
warming begins, how fast it happens and the amount of
background «noise» obscuring the signal.
Global
warming has also raised
background temperatures, making record - setting heat more common.
point triumphantly to the cosmic microwave
background temperature of the last century and declarethat
warming impossible on the grounds that it's only 4.6 Kelvin in all directions as far as you can look.
Or are they missing natural influences that can cause wide swings in ice and
temperature, thereby dwarfing the slow
background warming?
The research that shows that decade - long periods of static / declining
temperatures are to be expected against the
background of a
warming trend (see the Spiked article above) makes no claims that such natural variation could account for the much longer post-war slump.
In theory, any
warming should be proportional to the fourth root of (wattage new / wattage old) and the wattage change should be proportional to the logaritm of the change in CO2 - that would give small
temperature changes quite difficult to measure through the
background noise.
My opinion expressed elsewhere is that almost all the
temperature changes we observe over periods of less than a century are caused by cyclical changes in the rate of energy emission from the oceans with the solar effect only providing a slow
background trend of
warming or cooling for several centuries at a time.
We conclude that
background global
warming is continuing, consistent with the known planetary energy imbalance, even though it is likely that the slowdown in climate forcing growth rate contributed to the recent apparent standstill in global
temperature.
«Barring a large volcanic eruption, a record global
temperature clearly exceeding that of 2005 can be expected within the next few years, at the time of the next El Nino, because of the
background warming trend attributable to continuing increases of greenhouse gases.»
I would probably generally state it as «human CO2 activity has a measurable
warming impact on global average
temperature that can be readily discerned from the
background of natural climate change and other human effects that may cause cooling, and this
warming impact will be, in general, neutral in impact for humanity and the biosphere».
Jeff Masters, a meteorologist with a bent to blaming every weather event on global
warming, chose to make some extreme claims about hot ocean
temperatures that are... er... well, bizarre for someone with a science
background.
They actually say something different:» For example, most mid-latitude studies show that the heat island intensity (the difference between the
temperature of the
warmest location in the city and the
background rural value) of the near surface air layer reaches its maximum a few hours after sunset on calm.
I extend the suggestion to you regarding writing an article on the
background to «the
warmest year ever» in which the
temperature records of the 17 countries who are experiencing their hottest year ever needs to be objectively examined and put into the context of the 183 who aren't.
Scientific
Background Global
warming refers to the phenomenon of increasing average surface
temperatures of the Earth over the past one to two centuries.
Hence the
temperature trends over the past 135 years can be synthetized the superposition of a
background linear
warming trend with a triangular shape fluctuation, whose slope is +0.06 + / - 0.11 °C per decade.
With the ever increasing divergence of surface
temperatures (NASA GISS) from satellite ones (UAH / RSS), and the subsequent divergence of overheated climate models (IPCC CMIP5) to observed reality, it is worth some
background on the atmospheric
temperature measurement systems used to measure the
temperature of the lower troposphere — the exact place where global
warming theory is meant to occur and be measured:
First, we note that the record can be divided into three eras, consisting two perturbed climates — the rapid
warming after the end of LIA and the modern period of anthropogenic
warming after the Second Industrial Revolution — separated by a
background climate when Europe experienced a century (1738 — 1849) of mild
temperature with no trend.
Steve Reynolds (29)-- I'm an amateur with enough
background, by now, to compare some of the «regional hydrology» predictions with paleoclimate at times with
warm regional
temperatures.
He was right about so many things — the
background nineteenth - century CO2 concentration level and its increase over the twentieth century; the importance of high - quality
temperature data and the
warming trend observed over much of his lifetime; the infrared spectroscopy of CO2 and its effect on «sky radiation»; and more.
When a PIR sensor detects sufficient movement of these
warm «objects» and / or a significant
temperature differential between the object and the
background scene, it signals the camera to start recording and send an alert to the user.
This device surprisingly doesn't get
warm while charging and keeps the
temperature at cool 30C and doesn't heat up with multiple apps in the
background.
