The peak IR of the melt season occurred mid-September as opposed to warmer surface temperature months, which is right, its the moment when the lower atmosphere is at its warmest.

Warmer surface temperatures also tend to occur during particularly active parts of the solar cycle, known as solar maximums, while slightly cooler temperatures occur during lulls in activity, called minimums.

At the moment, Lindzen is pursuing a theory that says increased amounts of water vapor — from warming surface temperatures — will reduce heat - trapping high - cirrus clouds, which will help balance the planet's temperature.

Red circles show hot spots where NASA's MODIS sensor detected unusually warm surface temperatures linked with fires.

Red outlines indicate hot spots where a NASA satellite detected abnormally warm surface temperatures associated with fire.

The change in CO2 itself has very little to do with this moist adiabatic response; you get essentially the same temperature response if you just just prescribe and then warm the surface temperature.

Red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected the unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fires.

For example over the past winter the Arctic ice cap did see unusually warm surface temperatures, yet Arctic sea ice did not shrink as some would intuitively expect it to do.

Some evidence, still heavily debated, suggests that warming surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean may be leading to droughts in parts of East Africa.

After examining cloud cover and cosmic ray fluxes, Svensmark concluded that declines in cosmic rays lead to fewer clouds, implying that an active sun could lead to warmer surface temperatures.

Gore indicated that it is primarily Hurricane intensities which scientists largely agree should be expected to increase in association with warming surface temperatures, and specifically notes that

Warming surface temperatures and warming ocean temperatures raise sea levels.

But the team did conclude that warming surface temperatures, combined with future rare meteorological moments of this sort, will «produce heat waves materially more severe than the 2010 event.»

Svensmark had the nerve to hypothesize that most of the global warming of the 20th Century can be explained by the reduction in cosmic rays due to livelier solar activity, resulting in less low cloud cover and warmer surface temperatures.

Indeed, cod have already been negatively affected.3, 10 The shifts in plankton ecosystems linked to warmer surface temperatures have produced a poor food environment for young cod (larvae), reducing the chances that they will survive until they are large enough to be harvested.10

Among the weather phenomenon that could be affecting wave heights in the Pacific, Ruggiero said, are El Nino — warmer surface temperatures in the tropical eastern Pacific — and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation — 20 - to 30 - year patterns of warmer or cooler surface temperatures in the Pacific.

When phytoplankton increase, zooplankton flourish, treating whales, sea birds and young Arctic cod to a bountiful feast.2 In addition to more food, the warmer surface temperatures stimulate the «cold - blooded» Arctic cod grow faster and bigger, and bigger fish are better able to survive the winter.

The slowed surface warming is due in large part to changes in ocean cycles, particularly in the Pacific Ocean, causing more efficient ocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatures.

As it happens, we're in the middle of an El Niño, an event in the Pacific Ocean that tends to warm surface temperatures.

They expect it's plausable that the «hiatus» in warming surface temperatures will last another decade, after which atmospheric temperatures are likely to rise quickly again.

The excess gases in the atmosphere are believed to enhance the greenhouse effect by not only preventing infrared light from escaping into space, but also by absorbing more outgoing energy, leading to warmer surface temperatures.
