The AMO also shows strong variability from one year to the next in addition to the changes seen every 60 - 70 years, which makes it difficult to attribute specific extreme winters to the AMO's effects.

Scientists see a large amount of variability in the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) when looking back at climate records from thousands of years ago.

«The challenge is really first understanding what the natural variability looks like in this data - poor region, and then making measurements long enough that we can tease out the long - term ocean acidification trend, which is this gradual increase through time,» he said «It's really hard to see with just one or two years of data.»

Large interannual variability in snowpack can be nested within Pacific Decadal Oscillation (and Pacific North American) driven patterns (e.g., see the high snow years of 1996 and 1997 that occurred during a 25 - year period of below average snowpack).

However, that dynamic variability is part of what makes one year so much colder than another, and the temperatures we were seeing over February and March suggested that this would be a bad year for ozone — despite the fact there was a rapid warming towards the end.

Moreover, any internal variability in the system will be superimposed on this even stronger growing positive trend, shifting the base climate into a state not seen for at least a few million years.

I don't think anyone denies that the sun matters for climate, but the question is whether the variability of the sun in recent history has had the impact that we project from greenhouse gases over the next 100 — and there, I think, a majority of your «AGW» ers» would think the evidence suggests that changes in human forcing will likely be several times (at least) larger than any solar variability we've seen in a thousand years or more.

The time average makes sense only if you are sure to have caught all variability time - scale in the average (i.e., that they are all smaller than 30 years, say)-- I've never seen clearly where this assumption comes from, apart from computer simulations, which are NOT reliable for this kind of physics.

What I think we'll see (in fact, I'm pretty sure of it) is a paper later on this year giving a pretty good summary of natural variability that led to the «hiatus» in atmospheric temperature increases and their relative contributions:

Sure, the last 10 years is more of a lull than was expected, but given the influence natural variability and some of the temperature declines that have occurred, why have we been seeing some of the cooling we used to see?

So in the case of climate, we know the variability over the last 10000 years is about 2K (see Muller).

The last year or so, driven by the unexplained hiatus in warming, we have seen substantially more attention being given to research on natural climate variability.

A rather odd result considering we still see no El Nino and almost every recent hottest year has been spurred on by this powerful atmospheric variability driver.

In fact, they may do so more efficiently than more uniform temperature change; warming one hemisphere with respect to the other is an excellent way of pulling monsoonal circulations and oceanic ITCZs towards the warm hemisphere (the last few years have seen numerous studies of this response, relevant for ice ages and aerosol forcing as well as the response to high latitude internal variability; Chiang and Bitz, 2005 is one of the first to discuss this, in the ice age context; I'll try to return to this topic in a future post.)

As we will see here, natural variability can not account for the large and rapid warming we've observed over the past century, and particularly the past 40 years.

As of this writing, there is observational and modeling evidence that: 1) both annular modes are sensitive to month - to - month and year - to - year variability in the stratospheric flow (see section on Stratosphere / troposphere coupling, below); 2) both annular modes have exhibited long term trends which may reflect the impact of stratospheric ozone depletion and / or increased greenhouse gases (see section on Climate Change, below); and 3) the NAM responds to changes in the distribution of sea - ice over the North Atlantic sector.

''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy record of near - surface water temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»

Raising the costs of 7.5 billion people's food, energy and fuel in order to maybe slow down warming by less than.1 C / decade seems like a very risky thing to do to me, and I want to see 60 to 120 years more data to really tease out the human signal from the background natural variability signal.

Just as changes in the rate of air temperature change over multi several year periods could be due to internal variability, even cessations (* which over a ten year plus period we haven't even seen) or drops in them (which we haven't seen) it's not likely.

Personally I see all the current changes as well within natural variability, If we can have a 30 year fall [one in a two hundred year event] we can have a 90 year fall [one in a thousand year event] and in general it would still not prove or disprove the current arguments as the time frame is far too short.

I will confess that I was initially baffled by this post, for it was my prejudice that the general increase in OHC over the last ~ 50 years leaves so little room for benign warming due to some internal variability, that is I failed initially to see what case had to be answered and hence I failed to comprehend your argument.

What can be seen over 9,300 years is variability rather than an illusion of regularity.

This study has highlighted the role of internal variability of the NAO, the leading mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the Atlantic / European sector, on winter (December - March) surface air temperature (SAT) and precipitation (P) trends over the next 30 years (and the next 50 years: see Supplemental Materials) using a new 40 - member ensemble of climate change simulations with CESM1.

«There is a lot of year - to - year variability, and it was only a couple of years ago we saw a maximum.

If you plot anomalies on a graph with a y - axis that represents total climate variability in the last 100,000 years (I have no idea what that is but humor me and suppose it was + / - 5 °C), what you would see is pretty much how I look at these results: noise around the baseline.

ANSWER: Internal variability or «cycles» are well documented: see figures 5 - B and 5 - C for the 1000 year «cycle», many papers for the 210 year de Vries cycle (prominent in 14C and 10Be observations of the solar magnetism); for the «60 years» see Truth n ° 5.

So, what if we use the statistics BEFORE the last 50 years to come up with a model of temperature variability, and then see if that statistical model can «predict» the strong warming over the most recent 50 year period?

When the 180 - 230 years band - pass filtered variability was compared with that of solar variability, highlighting the de Vries cycle, it can be seen that as the de Vries signal increases after about 800 AD due to its modulation by the Bray cycle, the climatic signals start to synchronize with the solar signal and in some cases also increase their amplitude (figure 85).

Instead of an ice - filled ocean surrounded by land, it is a continent surrounded by ocean that sees much more variability in sea ice levels from year to year for reasons that aren't fully understood.

JJ, I think of it in terms of natural variability that the models don't precisely match, but it is self - canceling in the long term as seen over the last 30 years, so it doesn't matter for the big picture, but what matters is that the average warming is represented.

I think of it in terms of natural variability that the models don't precisely match, but it is self - canceling in the long term as seen over the last 30 years,...

So the situation that we're seeing now, there's some natural variability components,» said Schmidt, «there is some uncertainty in what the trends of the different forcings have been, but we've also had slightly more volcanic activity than we anticipated and the sun... has been slightly dimmer than we anticipated 10 years ago.»

Andrew For some information on cloud variability see Nigel Calder on The trouble with clouds, especially his graph on Cloud Anomalies Differing satellites can report the cloud anomalies as +1 % positive or -1 % negative for the same year — or worse.

And it's a straw man because the mainstream science has been quite clear that 16 years is too short a period to expect to see the warming trend reliably over the normal «noise» of natural variability.

We see similar excursions from the trend line in our modelling, so we feel that there is an actual variability here that is associated with year - to - year changes in the atmospheric circulation.
