NOAA's odd way of presenting February temperatures
Harold Ambler writes: NOAA’s map of February temperatures across the United States got New England all wrong. It wasn’t “near normal,” at all, as the people of the region can…
NOAA: US Cold records outnumber warm records 66 to 1 in the last 7 days
And nearly 3 to 1 in the last 30 days, and over 2 to 1 in 2014 From NOAA/NCDC: U.S. Records Summary The summaries below list the number of records…
January 2014 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Initial Notes: This post contains graphs of running trends in global surface temperature anomalies for periods of 13+ and 16+ years using GISS global (land+ocean) surface temperature data. They indicate…
Why Aren’t Global Surface Temperature Data Produced in Absolute Form?
The title question often appears during discussions of global surface temperatures. That is, GISS, Hadley Centre and NCDC only present their global land+ocean surface temperatures products as anomalies. The questions…
Also-Rans: NCDC and GISS Global Surface Temperatures Finish 4th and 7th for 2013
Not a win, place or show between them. In other words, global surface temperatures are still stalled in the post-1997/98-El-Niño era. They are patiently waiting for another strong El Niño…

UPDATE: Corrected the typo in Figure 3. 1988 now correctly reads 1989. # # # There’s lots of blogosphere chatter about the warm temperatures in Russia in November 2013. In…
November 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
In addition to their monthly global land-ocean temperature index (LOTI) data, GISS also lists quarterly and two annual (December to November and January to December) data. (Source here.) The annual…
Over half the USA covered in snow, the most in 11 years
Paging Dr. David Viner, white courtesy phone please Here is the map from NOAA’s National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center showing the snow coverage at 53%, the most in 11…
October 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
The following graph is of annual global surface temperature anomalies, including year-to-date 2013 values. The base years for anomalies are 1981-2010. The GISS and NCDC data run through October 2013,…
September 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Sorry this is so late. The NCDC and GISS updates were delayed by the government shutdown. Because it is so late, it includes the September 2013 HADCRUT4 data from the…
August 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
I figured today would be a good day to post this, with David Rose’s article in the “Sunday Mail” Met Office proof that global warming is still ‘on pause’ as…
A Curious Climate Analogy – Badly Reported by the NYT
Guest essay by Kip Hansen, St Thomas, USVI The AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY just published a Special Supplement to the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society titled: EXPLAINING EXTREME EVENTS OF…
July 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
My apologies for the delay. I was waiting for the NCDC to update their data webpage here. As of this morning, the NCDC has not updated it, so I used…
NOAA: Atlantic hurricane season on track to be above-normal
NOAA issued its updated Atlantic hurricane season outlook today saying the season is shaping up to be above normal with the possibility that it could be very active. The season…
Climate Hash Rehashed
Guest essay by Patrick J. Michaels and Paul C. “Chip” Knappenberger Yesterday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a press release announcing the publication of its “State of…
NOAA: Another 'AGW caused heat wave' is actually just natural variation
You may remember headlines like these last summer: With Blow-Out March Heat Wave, Meteorologist Masters Says ‘This is not the atmosphere I grew up with’ The 2012 Heat Wave: “Almost Like Science…
Why the NOAA Global Temperature Product Doesn’t Comply With WMO Standards
The opening paragraph of NOAA’s press release NCDC Releases June 2013 Global Climate Report begins with alarmist statistics and an error (my boldface): According to NOAA scientists, the globally averaged…
June 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Initial Notes: This post contains graphs of running trends in global surface temperature anomalies for periods of 12+ and 16 years using HADCRUT4 data. They indicate that we have not…
