Bering sea water temperature, headed down
Apparently, not all the Arctic is warming to script. This is an interesting graph from PICES, titled The Bering Sea: Current Status and Recent Events. It is accompanied by this…
El Niño – a global warming survivor
From the AGU Weekly highlights: El Niño–Southern Oscillation variability persisted in warmer world Changes in the distribution of sea surface temperature associated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cause significant…
Climate craziness of the week: "ethics requires" linking tornadoes to climate change
Since this essay by Penn State’s Associate Professor Donald A. Brown is placed on a publicly funded university web server, I’m repeating this in entirety here for discussion. Be sure…

ENSO color tricks from NOAA's Environmental Visualization Lab
Or, “how to hide the decline with color”. Here’s the image and press release from NOAA NNVL this week to push their hurricane season announcement. Notice anything odd? Weakening of…
Interannual Terrestrial Oscillations
There’s a saying, “timing is everything”. After reading this, I think it is more true than ever. In other news. Paul Vaughn is giving Bob Tisdale serious competition in the…
UAH global temperature anomaly – up in April
As La Niña fades, this is not surprising. Dr. Roy Spencer is back at work and reports the new lower troposphere number. Note also the global sea surface temperature graph…

Guest post by Bob Tisdale WEEKLY NINO3.4 SST ANOMALIES The weekly NINO3.4 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Anomalies have just risen above the threshold of a La Niña, and are just…
Tree rings as a proxy for historical ENSO reconstruction
From the University of Hawai’i’s International Pacific Research Center at Mānoa, comes this proxy reconstruction that does some similar things the infamous hockey stick reconstruction, but doesn’t need to pull…
ENSO report and forecast
Summary: La Niña conditions continued across the equatorial Pacific. The magnitude of negative sea surface temperature anomalies continued to decrease across the Pacific Ocean. A transition to ENSO-neutral conditions…
Global temperature still headed down- UAH: negative territory
The global temperature has fallen .653°C (from +0.554 in March 2010 to -0.099 in March 2011) in just one year. That’s a magnitude nearly equivalent to the agreed upon global…

NASA: La Niña has remained strong
From NASA JPL in Pasadena: New NASA satellite data indicate the current La Niña event in the eastern Pacific has remained strong during November and December 2010. A new Ocean…
Can Most Of The Rise In The Satellite-Era Surface Temperatures Be Explained Without Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gases?
Guest post by Bob Tisdale In this post, I divide the globe (60S-60N) into two subsets and remove the linear effects of ENSO and volcanic eruptions from GISS Land-Ocean Temperature…
Visualizing the entire 2010 Atlantic hurricane season in one image
The photo below is a stunning and novel piece of imagery and I commend NOAA’s Environmental Visualization Laboratory for this nicely done graphic. If they had done it last year,…
The La Niña has strengthened, now near 2008 levels
Update: it appears that the September values of the Tahiti-Darwin SOI (+25) and Klaus Wolter Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) are at historical levels when compared to previous Septembers, with the…
