Ironically, if the lakes enter the fall with record warm temperatures, it could herald an above - average season for lake effect snow, which occurs when cold, dry air blows across large expanses of comparatively milder waters.

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory within the Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy Division, along with collaborators from the U.K. Met Office and other modeling centers around the world, organized an international multi-model intercomparison project, name CAUSES (Clouds Above the United States and Errors at the Surface), to identify possible causes for the large warm surface air temperature bias seen in many weather forecast and climate model simulations.

The cooler air above that will clash with warm air drawn up with the Gulf Stream.

We have invested heavily in warmth, with several hard warm water circulating heating pads, several soft, and several warm air machines (Bair Hugger type) so we may heat above and below.

The stable top of the marine layer, a result of the temperature inversion, prevents any dry, warm air from above the inversion from mixing with the stratus deck.

So the surface is warmer than the air immediately above it, with T ^ 4 larger by the same amount as it is smaller at a unit optical depth above the surface.

... interestingly in the grey gas case with no solar heating of the stratosphere, increasing the optical thickness of the atmosphere would result in an initial cooling of and in the vicinity of the skin layer (reduced OLR), and an initial radiative warming of the air just above the surface (increased backradiation)-- of course, the first of those dissappears at full equilibrium.

It must be kept in mind that solar heating of the air is included in this diagram; their is some net LW cooling that balances solar heating above the tropopause, which peaks around the relatively warm stratopause, in bands with sufficient optical thickness.

The warm air above nocturnal or polar inversions, or even stable air masses with small positive lapse rates, are warmer than otherwise because of heat capacity and radiant + convective heating during daytime and / or because of heating occurring at other latitudes / regions that is transported to higher latitudes / regions.

Because intensities at different angles are absorbed over shorter or longer vertical distances, this leads to anomalous warming in the air just above the surface and anomalous cooling in a layer above that (the anomalous cooling would taper off with height but never quite go to zero).

Recall that the air flowing across laterally and downward to the top of the descending column did not warm up adiabatically due to its contact with the stratosphere above.

Wagathon, I'm familiar with the process, but I was wondering if the latent heat may not warm the air layer just above the cloud tops?

The warmer air evaporates more moisture, but it does so across the entire ocean, and this moist air mixes continually with the air above it, so * all * the air is moister.

This warms the air above it, warm air rises, interferes with trade winds, joins the westerlies, and we notice the arrival of an El Nino.

Most interesting is that the about monthly variations correlate with the lunar phases (peak on full moon) The Helsinki Background measurements 1935 The first background measurements in history; sampling data in vertical profile every 50 - 100m up to 1,5 km; 364 ppm underthe clouds and above Haldane measurements at the Scottish coast 370 ppmCO2 in winds from the sea; 355 ppm in air from the land Wattenberg measurements in the southern Atlantic ocean 1925-1927 310 sampling stations along the latitudes of the southern Atlantic oceans and parts of the northern; measuring all oceanographic data and CO2 in air over the sea; high ocean outgassing crossing the warm water currents north (> ~ 360 ppm) Buchs measurements in the northern Atlantic ocean 1932 - 1936 sampling CO2 over sea surface in northern Atlantic Ocean up to the polar circle (Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen, Barents Sea); measuring also high CO2 near Spitsbergen (Spitsbergen current, North Cape current) 364 ppm and CO2 over sea crossing the Atlantic from Kopenhagen to Newyork and back (Brements on a swedish island Lundegards CO2 sampling on swedish island (Kattegatt) in summer from 1920 - 1926; rising CO2 concentration (+7 ppm) in the 20s; ~ 328 ppm yearly average

Anthony is a meteorologist who blew the lid on the scandalous placement of official U.S. government thermometers — even movement to — asphalt pads, Arizona parking lots, next to hot air vents, above barbecue grills, and so on with the convenient result of a warming bias.

Its warm water now warms the air above it, warm air rises, interferes with the trade winds, joins the westerlies, and we notice the start of an El Nino.

Stepping back from there, Hansen looks at 1940 and above: «The approximate stand - still of global temperature during 1940 - 1975 is generally attributed to an approximate balance of aerosol cooling and greenhouse gas warming during a period of rapid growth of fossil fuel use with little control on particulate air pollution, but quantitative interpretation has been impossible» That's the excuse and it is laughable.

Average air temperature over the land and sea surface was 0.56 degrees Celsius above the long - term average, tied with 2010 as the joint warmest year on record.

The global warming signal itself is a multidecadal feature of the climate, but just like the seasonal example above, it has been possible at times to take one period of one temperature record - surface air temperatures in most cases - and do a «January - February» job with it, thereby making the claim that temperatures are flatlining or even cooling.

With condensation, energy is released, some of which would warm the near saturated air above the condensation layer creating an upward motion not of the condensation layer base, but the air above which would expand the the cloud upward which would induce moist air into the region of condensation.

The really cold Arctic air is only in the lowest regions of the atmosphere (below say 5,000 feet), which GISS would fully see, while the satellite also sees air above 5,000 feet and averages that «warmer» upper air with the cold surface air.

With evaporation being the more powerful effect the rate of energy flow to the air above is likely to increase rather than decrease and the 1 mm deep layer descend and / or intensify despite a warming of the topmost few microns.

1998 was near the tail end of a decade that jumped well above the mean average longer term rate of increase (there is a thing called climate variability, it didn't disappear with climate change, and if anything probably only intensified;, and ocean warming and glacial melt both accelerated during this period, taking more energy out of the air — see below).
