Sentences with phrase «where ocean temperature data»

Not exact matches

A few years ago the New England fishing fleets were in despair because the fish were nowhere to be found; a biologist, who had been making a laboratory study of the temperature of fishes» stomachs, combined his data with some ocean temperature data and correctly suggested where the missing creatures might be found.

There are also plenty of examples where models have correctly suggested that different data sets were inconsistent (satellite vs. surface in the 1990s, tropical ice age ocean temperatures vs. land temperatures in the 1980s etc.) which were resolved in favor of the models.

This result is a combination of land data, using stations where the only measurements recorded are those of the maximum and minimum daily temperature, and ocean data which are probably much more representative of the true daily mean.

I also suspect that a good portion of the additional warming shown in the hybrid version of the Cowtan and Way (2013) data (versus their Krig data) comes from the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica, where sea surface temperatures are cooling and lower troposphere temperatures are warming.

When the first analyses of Ocean Heat Content calculated from old temperature data from the oceans where first published in the early 2000's, they were described as the «Smoking Gun».

The point is that this observation is not very relevant if the outcome comes from a combination of relevant and persistently warming data from areas where the temperature is strongly correlated with increase in the heat content of oceans, atmosphere and continental topmost layers, and almost totally irrelevant data from areas and seasons where and when exceptionally great natural variability of surface temperatures makes these temperatures essentially irrelevant for the determination of longterm trends.

Where admitted very poor and very dodgy data from ships buckets and engine inlets is used to adjust reliable ocean buoy data upwards and then the adjusted data is promoted as the new global temperature data.

Because the GISS analysis combines available sea surface temperature records with meteorological station measurements, we test alternative choices for the ocean data, showing that global temperature change is sensitive to estimated temperature change in polar regions where observations are limited.

During a presentation of the two agencies» reports, Thomas Karl, director of Noaa's National Climatic Data Center, said there was a «considerable amount of area where we saw the record highest temperature observed, such as many portions of Europe and every ocean had parts that were [the warmest on record]».

These days, ocean temperature is measured three ways, two of which — XBTs and CTDS — require dropping equipment into the water from ships, so they obviously only provide data where there is currently a boat that has the goods.

The oceans and land temperatures have tracked quite closely until recently where the differences between ocean and land have become very pronounced with increasing divergence as is easily seen by comparing land data with land and ocean data.

More recent documentation (Hansen et al. 2010) compares alternative analyses and addresses questions about perception and reality of global warming; various choices for the ocean data are tested; it is also shown that global temperature change is sensitive to estimated temperature change in polar regions, where observations are limited.
