The former wartime Land Girl on Lloyd George's farm, and translator of German naval ciphers for the code - breakers at Bletchley Park, went out in suitable style, however: throwing a farewell lunch party for 50 friends including Sir John Major in the Palace of Westminster — where she regaled guests with a song — before a final, majestic, pearls and fur - clad appearance in the Lords chamber to take the oath one last time, to warm cheers from her peers.

Furthermore, tornadoes can be influenced by many regional factors, including topography of the land and areas where cooler air meets warm, subtropical air, making it difficult to attribute the shift in the tornado season to any one factor, he said.

Euan Nisbet, a geologist at the University of London, points out that the Arctic, where the warming is expected to be strongest, is vulnerable — both on land and in shallow seas there are hydrates that are stabilized mostly by low temperatures rather than by high pressures.

Low - lying coastal regions like Chile's are subject to advection fog, where warm ocean air crosses a band of cold water before reaching land.

This chemical weathering process is too slow to damp out shorter - term fluctuations, and there are some complexities — glaciation can enhance the mechanical erosion that provides surface area for chemical weathering (some of which may be realized after a time delay — ie when the subsequent warming occurs — dramatically snow in a Snowball Earth scenario, where the frigid conditions essentially shut down all chemical weathering, allowing CO2 to build up to the point where it thaws the equatorial region, at which point runaway albedo feedback drives the Earth into a carbonic acid sauna, which ends via rapid carbonate rock formation), while lower sea level may increase the oxidation of organic C in sediments but also provide more land surface for erosion... etc..

The rock formation features a natural cave, tunnel, warm pool, and snorkeling spots; not to be confused with Devil's Bridge, a natural land phenomenon where blowholes and geysers frame the bridge as waves break against it.

Other factors would include: — albedo shifts (both from ice > water, and from increased biological activity, and from edge melt revealing more land, and from more old dust coming to the surface...); — direct effect of CO2 on ice (the former weakens the latter); — increasing, and increasingly warm, rain fall on ice; — «stuck» weather systems bringing more and more warm tropical air ever further toward the poles; — melting of sea ice shelf increasing mobility of glaciers; — sea water getting under parts of the ice sheets where the base is below sea level; — melt water lubricating the ice sheet base; — changes in ocean currents -LRB-?)

This conflicts with the Jones et al. (2001) global land instrumental temperature data (Figure 2.1), and the combined hemispheric and global land and marine data (Figure 2.7), where clear warming is not seen until the beginning of the 20th century.

Partly this has to do with changes in ocean circulation taking warmer water deeper and partly as the result of the southern hemisphere having less land mass and more ocean — where the ocean has a higher thermal inertia, meaning that it takes longer for those waters to warm.

And given the fact that land warms more quickly than ocean, resulting in areas of low pressure over land, changing patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation are bringing them to the coasts — where so much life's diversity is found.

Polar bears living in regions (such as Hudson's Bay and Svalbard) that were not ice covered all year round even before global warming spend the warmer months on land where they are a real danger (male polar bears are the only healthy carnivore that routinely stalks and hunts people).

In 2014 there were a lot of months were SST were the warmest ever; there were several months where land was way back in the pack.

Their focus appears to be the Arctic, where polar amplification has land surface temperatures warming at an accelerated rate.

Warming is mostly in the winter in higher latitudes over land where it extends growing season.

There is ample evidence in the UK of increasing fuel poverty (i.e., household spending over 10 % of disposable income keeping warm in winter) in the regions of wind farm deployment where higher electricity bills are needed to cover the rent of the land (from usually already rich) landowners, a direct reversal of the process whereby cheap energy over the last century has lifted a significant fraction of the world's poor from their poverty.

The warm moist air is readily advected onto land and caught up in weather systems as part of the hydrological cycle, where it contributes to more intense precipitation events that are widely observed to be occurring (IPCC 2007; Trenberth 2011a; Groisman and Knight 2008; Min et al. 2011; Pall et al. 2011).

JS: In the Himalayas, there's very rapid warming to the point where their whole ecosystems, environments, land use and agriculture are changing without them really realizing what's happening.

Since the whole world does not appear to freeze during a ice age, the must be massive ice making going at the pole driven by heat lifting oceans of water to the sky from the equator where it is pushed by the expanding air and vapor to the poles areas where it returns to the surface and follows cold land like a culvert between warmer expanding ocean air back down to the equatoral region.

In built - up urban areas the concentration of heat storing materials in buildings, roads, etc. such as concrete, bitumen, bricks and so on, and heat sources such as heaters, air - conditioners, lighting, cars, etc. all combine to produce a local «heat island»: a region where temperatures tend to be warmer than the surrounding rural land.

On my religion: I am honest when I say to you that there seem to be no warming in areas over land in areas where ocean air do not dominate temperature trends, then its true.

Since shortwave from the Sun physically can not heat land and water and they have excised the real heat from the Sun, thermal infrared, direct longwave infrared, they not only have no weather, they live in a very cold world where's there is no warming possible at all..

The thermometer network is made up of a patchwork of non-research quality instruments that were never made to monitor long - term temperature changes to tenths or hundredths of a degree... Furthermore, land - based thermometers are placed where people live, and people build stuff, often replacing cooling vegetation with manmade structures that cause an artificial warming (urban heat island, UHI) effect right around the thermometer.

On a sort of parallel track we've also talked to people about finding the «crying Indian» for global warming — the «crying Indian» being a TV advertisement about littering where a Native American dressed in native garb was standing by the side of a highway with cars speeding by and a bag of garbage gets tossed out, lands at his feet, and the camera pans up to show this tear coming down his cheek.

While the Kyoto Protocol had already been set into place as the primary solution to climate change, the historian of science Stuart Weart marks the point at the year 2001 where climate scientists had actually reached a consensus that human activity was warming the planet via GHG emissions and land - use changes, the former largely from fossil fuel use.

Global warming, which may have produced temperatures 10 to 30 degrees Celsius higher than today, would have had a significant impact both on oceans, where about 95 % of lifeforms became extinct, and on land, where almost 75 % of species died out.

And then, there was a study showing the «tarmac effect» of land - based data in France where only thermometers at airports — in the winter — showed any warming over the last 50 years.

He came up with a figure of 2.2 deg C for 2 x CO2 on the basis that warming was currently 0.8 deg C. Of course if you use 1.2 degC you end up with 3.3 degC for the 2 x CO2 warming on land, which after all is where most of us choose to live.

This suggests three levels of skepticism even in Muller's mind: a) global warming which in the context means the land temperature record (not the ocean heat as Pielke Sr would prefer) b) its human causes (where Judith Curry also parts company with Muller) and c) what can and should be done about b).

Further, these areas of open water do not occur near the leading edge of the ice in warm water, they only occur near land in previously frozen areas where air and water are cold enough to re-freeze the open water.

Thawing permafrost also delivers organic - rich soils to lake bottoms, where decomposition in the absence of oxygen releases additional methane.116 Extensive wildfires also release carbon that contributes to climate warming.107, 117,118 The capacity of the Yukon River Basin in Alaska and adjacent Canada to store carbon has been substantially weakened since the 1960s by the combination of warming and thawing of permafrost and by increased wildfire.119 Expansion of tall shrubs and trees into tundra makes the surface darker and rougher, increasing absorption of the sun's energy and further contributing to warming.120 This warming is likely stronger than the potential cooling effects of increased carbon dioxide uptake associated with tree and shrub expansion.121 The shorter snow - covered seasons in Alaska further increase energy absorption by the land surface, an effect only slightly offset by the reduced energy absorption of highly reflective post-fire snow - covered landscapes.121 This spectrum of changes in Alaskan and other high - latitude terrestrial ecosystems jeopardizes efforts by society to use ecosystem carbon management to offset fossil fuel emissions.94, 95,96

The main root of this threat is the potential collapse of West Antarctica's marine - based ice sheets — massive expanses of glacial ice that rest not on land but the ocean floor — in particular, those where warm ocean waters circulate nearby [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2013].

In their Geophysical Research Letters publication the researchers also write that «aerosol invigoration effect occurs mainly in warmed - based convection with weak shear «-- as they could not find similar effects in frontal convection weather systems, which have higher wind shear and where air is forced up not by land surface warming, but by a pushing cold air wedge.

Warming over land is greater than the mean except in the southern mid-latitudes, where the warming over ocean is a mWarming over land is greater than the mean except in the southern mid-latitudes, where the warming over ocean is a mwarming over ocean is a minimum.

«There are also big ponds that might dry out over large areas, as well as soils underlain by a network of ice wedges where warming could lead to a thermokarst, or a slumping, of the land surface as permafrost thaws and the ice wedges melt.

Where the face of a glacier meets the ocean, warm water can melt it from underneath, gradually forcing back the «grounding line» where the glacier sits on the Where the face of a glacier meets the ocean, warm water can melt it from underneath, gradually forcing back the «grounding line» where the glacier sits on the where the glacier sits on the land.

Then we could go down the line on many more flips in climate science where the bread lands butter side down, where «adjustments» or «errors» somehow always seem to increase the warming trend but never decrease it.

You are unable to demonstrate based on empirical data that these temperatures will be harmful — and there are some indications that a slightly warmer temperature (especially in the higher latitudes, where GH warming is supposed to oiccur) will increase arable land surface across N. America, and Eurasia, lengthen growing seasons and result in higher overall crop yields.

We know it from direct measurements of land and water, from shifts in where animals and plants live, from rapid increases in glacier and ice sheet melt, from sea level rise (due less to melting ice, and more to expansion as the water warms).

Furthermore, land - based thermometers are placed where people live, and people build stuff, often replacing cooling vegetation with manmade structures that cause an artificial warming (urban heat island, UHI) effect right around the thermometer.

Temperatures may rise to levels where land ice melts, and feedbacks created by sea ice loss reinforce regional Arctic warming, which in turn could cause more land ice to melt.

It is either this or the latent heat moves toward the land where it amplifies that warming.

The first eleven months of the year where characterized by much - warmer - than - average conditions engulfing much of the world's land and ocean surfaces.

The exception is the higher latitudes, where land areas warm relatively faster in boreal summer in high - end models, but sea ice areas show varying differences in boreal winter.

Just reminds me of the climate gate email that is not often discussed where someone (I do nt recall who off hand) notes its good that the skeptics at least have not yet made a point yet about the discrepancy between land and ocean temps, as the land should follow the sea and can not warm at a faster rate for any physical reason.

* The ground is a little warmer than the atmosphere, so that factor will mean some more photons going up than down (but since the back radiation is mostly from low layers, the atmosphere emitting the back radiation will not be that much cooler than the land so the effect from temperature will not be TOO great) * The ground is close to a black body for IR (emissivity = 1 for all IR frequencies), but the atmosphere has bands where it does not emit or absorb well (emissivity ~ 0) and other bands where it does emit or absorb well (emissivity ~ 1).

The largest increase in precipitation will occur over land in the tropics where the atmosphere is warming quickest.
