Uncertain Clouds
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I read an interesting quote in the latest Climanifesto from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, their Sixth Assessment Report, known as “IPCC AR6” to…
Thunderstorm World: A Model to Explore Ideas from Willis Eschenbach
I’ve been thinking about some ideas that WUWT contributor Willis Eschenbach (WE) has proposed. In particular, WE has suggested that tropical cumulus clouds and thunderstorms provide a “thermostatic mechanism” that…
Clouds and Global Warming
By Andy May This post is inspired by an old post on the CERES cloud data by Willis Eschenbach that I’ve read and re-read a lot, “Estimating Cloud Feedback Using…
Millennial CO2 And Temperature
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach My mind runs to curious corners of the climate question. I got to thinking about how little the atmospheric CO2 level has changed over most…
Clouds From Both Sides Now
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Clouds are said to be the largest uncertainty in climate models, and I can believe that. Their representation in the models is highly parameterized, each…
A 2021 Index to Willis’s Posts
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach It’s February 3rd, 2021. I hadn’t updated my index since 2018, so I decided to do so. Not an easy task, but I beat it…
Clouds and El Nino
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach After the turn of the century, I became interested in climate science. But unlike almost everyone else, I wasn’t surprised by how much the global…
Clouds Down Under
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach [See Update at the end] Sometimes climate research is just plain funny. I wrote before about Irish rain and investigated whether there is any effect…
Glimpsed Through The Clouds
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach [See Update at the end.] [See Second Update at the end.] In a recent post, I discussed the new CERES Edition 4.0 dataset. See that post…
TAO Sea and Air Temperature Differences
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach The TAO buoy array is an array of moored buoys in the equatorial tropical Pacific ocean. Here’s a map showing their locations along with the…
A New Index to Willis’s Posts
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, my old index to my posts was out of date, and I finally got tired of not being able to find things that I’ve…
Where The Temperature Rules The Total Surface Absorption
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Reflecting upon my previous post, Where The Temperature Rules The Sun, I realized that while it was valid, it was just about temperature controlling downwelling…
Quote of the week: The clouds, the 1%, and the ‘holy grail’ of climate science
People send me stuff. Today my inbox got what some people might describe as an important clue to finding the “holy grail” of climate science. It’s a big step forward,…
What is the Default Temperature for the Earth?
Guest Opinion: Dr. Tim Ball The Earth’s atmosphere does not act like a greenhouse. The analogy was partially developed to help students understand the apparent disparity between energy coming in…
Another paper confirms "the pause" in global warming – cites issues with methods of obtaining average temperature
Spatiotemporal Divergence of the Warming Hiatus over Land Based on Different Definitions of Mean Temperature Chunlüe Zhou & Kaicun Wang Abstract Existing studies of the recent warming hiatus over land are primarily…
Effective Radiation Level (ERL) Temperature
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Lord Monckton has initiated an interesting discussion of the effective radiation level. Such discussions are of value to me because they strike off ideas of…
Willis and I walk the Planck
By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley I do apologize for not having replied sooner to my friend the irrepressible, irascible, highly improbable but always fascinating Willis Eschenbach, who on August 15…
Cooling and Warming, Clouds and Thunderstorms
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Following up on a suggestion made to me by one of my long-time scientific heroes, Dr. Fred Singer, I’ve been looking at the rainfall dataset…
Splicing Clouds
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach So once again, I have donned my Don Quixote armor and continued my quest for a ~11-year sunspot-related solar signal in some surface weather dataset.…
Evidence that Clouds Actively Regulate the Temperature
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I have put forth the idea for some time now that one of the main climate thermoregulatory mechanisms is a temperature-controlled sharp increase in albedo…
Observations on TOA Forcing vs Temperature
I recently wrote three posts (first, second, and third), regarding climate sensitivity. I wanted to compare my results to another dataset. Continued digging has led me to the CERES monthly…
Sun and Clouds are Sufficient
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach In my previous post, A Longer Look at Climate Sensitivity, I showed that the match between lagged net sunshine (the solar energy remaining after albedo…
Argo and the Ocean Temperature Maximum
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach It has been known for some time that the “Pacific Warm Pool”, the area just northeast of Australia, has a maximum temperature. It never gets…
