Data and observations
Has NOAA ‘busted’ the pause in global warming?
by Judith Curry
A new blockbuster paper published today by NOAA:
These results do not support the notion of a “slowdown” in the increase of global surface temperature.
Color me ‘unconvinced.’
Quantifying the anthropogenic contribution to atmospheric CO2
by Fred Haynie
I conclude that, the IPCC’s model assumptions that long-term natural net rate of accumulation is constant and anthropogenic emission rates are the only contributor to total long-term accumulation of atmospheric CO2, is false.
Taking Melbourne’s temperature
by Tom Quirke
The raw Melbourne temperature records of the Bureau of Meteorology are compared to the ACORN-Sat values. The ACORN-Sat adjustments are evaluated. This analysis shows evidence for a strong urban heat island effect.
Differential temperature trends at the surface and in the lower atmosphere
by Roger Pielke Sr., Phil Klotzbach, John Christy and Dick McNider
An update is presented of the analysis of Klotzbach et al. 2009.
Understanding Time of Observation Bias
by Zeke Hausfather
Global temperatures are adjusted to account for the effects of station moves, instrument changes, time of observation (TOBs) changes, and other factors (referred to as inhomogenities) that cause localized non-climatic biases in the instrumental record.
