Model-Data Comparison with Trend Maps: CMIP5 (IPCC AR5) Models vs New GISS Land-Ocean Temperature Index
UPDATE: I’ve added graphs of the difference between the observations and the models at the end of the post, under the heading of DIFFERENCE. #### We’ve shown in numerous posts…
A Different Perspective on Trenberth’s Missing Heat: The Warming of the Global Oceans (0 to 2000 Meters) in Deg C
We discussed Dr. Roy Spencer’s post More on Trenberth’s Missing Heat in my recent post and in the cross post at WattsUpWithThat. One of the points Roy made: a change…
More on Trenberth’s Missing Heat
In the post Trenberth Still Searching for Missing Heat, we discussed the recent Balmaseda et al (2013) paper “Distinctive climate signals in reanalysis of global ocean heat content”, of which…
A Different Perspective of the Equatorial Pacific and ENSO Events
by Bob Tisdale It’s difficult to express how enormous El Niño and La Niña events are. Often, when discussing them, I’ll display a map of the tropical Pacific (see example…
The Sun Was in My Eyes – Was It More Likely Over the Past 3-Plus Decades?
Alternate Title: On Pinker et al 2005 and the Positive Trend in the NCEP-DOE Reanalysis-2 Surface Downward Solar Radiation Flux Over at Tallbloke’sTalkshop, Tallbloke has a post about the Pinker…
ENSO Myth 5 – ENSO Only Adds Noise to the Instrument Temperature Record…
…and We Can Determine its Effects through Linear Regression Analysis, Then Remove Those Effects, Leaving the Anthropogenic Global Warming Signal This is the 5th post in the series about myths…
On Guemas et al (2013) “Retrospective prediction of the global warming slowdown in the past decade”
I received a number of emails about the newly published Guemas et al (2013) paper titled “Retrospective prediction of the global warming slowdown in the past decade”. It’s paywalled. The…
A Preliminary Look at Compo et al (2013)
The recent paper Compo et al (2013) is titled “Independent confirmation of global land warming without the use of station temperatures”. It’s in the preprint phase, and of course it’s…
The Blatant Errors in the SkepticalScience Video “Global Warming over the Last 16 Years”
David Rose’s October 2012 article in the MailOnline generated a multitude of responses around the blogosphere. The article was titled Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report…
February 2013 Global Land+Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly Update
It has been a while since I’ve presented the GISS, UK Met Office and NCDC global land surface air temperature plus sea surface temperature products. I’ve decided to add them…
ENSO Myth Number 4 – The Variations in the East Pacific and the East Indian-West Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures Counteract One Another
OVERVIEW This is the fourth post in a series that presents myths and failed arguments created by proponents of manmade global warming about the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). A list…
Trenberth Still Searching for Missing Heat
Kevin Trenberth is one of the authors of new Balmaseda et al (2013) paper Distinctive climate signals in reanalysis of global ocean heat content. I find the title of the…
On Dana1981’s Meaningless ENSO Exercise at SkepticalScience
Dana Nuccitelli (Dana1981) of SkepticalScience has redefined El Niño and La Niña years in a meaningless exercise to show that the warming trends of El Niño, La Niña and ENSO-neutral…
Why Do El Niño and La Niña Events Peak in Boreal Winter?
In December 2012, I had begun a series of posts about El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This post starts the return to them. El Niño and La Niña events typically peak…
NOAA’s Ever-Changing Definition of La Niña Years
UPDATE: I’ve added two illustrations to the end of the post. At the request of blogger “Kurt in Switzerland”, I plotted a comparison of the new and old versions of…
NODC’s Pentadal Ocean Heat Content (0 to 2000m) Creates Warming That Doesn’t Exist in the Annual Data – A Lot of Warming
INTRODUCTION In the post Is Ocean Heat Content Data All It’s Stacked Up to Be?, we discussed and illustrated, for the depths of 0-700 meters, that the NODC’s pentadal ocean…
Is Ocean Heat Content Data All It’s Stacked Up to Be?
Figure 1 Ocean Heat Content data represents the heat stored of the oceans to specified depths. As such, it is an important global warming metric. The Introduction to Levitus et…
Blog Memo to Lead Authors of NCADAC Climate Assessment Report
Date: March 4, 2013 Subject: Upcoming NCADAC Climate Assessment Report From: Bob Tisdale – Climate Observations To: Lead Authors of NCADAC Report Dear Lead Authors: The draft of your upcoming…
Aerosols from Moderate Volcanos Now Blamed for Global Warming Hiatus
While looking for quotes on an upcoming post about Ocean Heat Content, I ran across the press release for a new paper (in press) by Neely et al, which blames…
