In this post I set both UAH 5.4 and RSS 3.3 global temperature anomaly series to a common baseline period (1981-2010) to compare them. Since both the UAH 5.4 and RSS 3.3 series are satellite based , they exhibit striking … Continue reading →

Comparison of UAH and GISS Time Series with Common Baseline
In this post I set both UAH and GISS global temperature anomaly series to a common baseline period (1981-2010) and compare them. Even though the UAH series is satellite based and GISS series is station based, the series exhibit striking … Conti...
UAH Temperature Anomalies Following Predictable Pattern
In this post I show one simple and 2 multiple regression models to assess the role of time, El Nino – La Nina SSTA and volcanic activity (SATO) on UAH global temperature anomaly trends. The 3rd model provides a reasonable … Continue rea...
Assessing Climate Trends: Eyeball versus Regression
In a previous post, I showed the Lower Stratospheric Temperature Anomaly (TLS) Trends (link). A reader submitted the following comment: “The lower stratosphere temperature profile is essentially flat from ca. 1995 to the present. This approxima...
Atmospheric Temperature Structure : 2 – Stratospheric Cooling
In this post I review the temperature structure of the atmosphere and lower stratosphere temperature (TLS) anomaly trends. Temperature Structure in the Atmosphere In post 1 of this series, I developed this RClimate chart of temperature soundings whic...
Using RClimate To Retrieve Climate Series Data
This post shows how to use RClimate.txt to retrieve a climate time series and write a csv file in 5 lines of R script. One of my readers, Robert, wants to be able to download climate time series data and … Continue reading →
Volcanic Solar Dimming, ENSO and Temperature Anomalies
In previous posts I have shown plots of global temperature anomaly, volcano and Nino34 trends (here , here). In this post , I want to further explore the role of volcanic eruptions and Nino34 phases (El Nino, La Nina) on … Continue reading →
Climate Charts, Data and RClimate Scripts
While there are many online climate data resources, the source data files are in numerous data formats, presenting a challenge to climate citizen scientists who want to retrieve and analyze several climate indicators at the same time. I have been ̷...
RClimate: Converting 5 Global Temperature Anomaly Series to A Common Baseline
The 5 global land-ocean temperature anomaly (LOTA) series use different baseline periods, making direct comparisons between the series more difficult than it would be if each series had the same baseline period. This post shows how to convert the 5 ...
Nov 2010 Year-To-Date Global Temperature Anomaly 1st in 2 Series, 2nd in 3 Series: Update
This post shows the YTD global land – ocean temperature anomaly (LOTA) trends for the 5 major series through November, 2010 and how 2010 YTD ranks over the entire record for each series. The source data file link is provided. … Contin...
