2014 Global Temperatures

For comparison purposes, 4/21/14 GFS surface temp anomaly relative to 1979-2000 baseline from site below is 0.72C. Looks like the gfs temps from this site run 0.35-0.4C higher than the wxbell cfs2

WxBell is a 1981 - 2010 baseline, not sure if that accounts for all of the difference but it's a significant detail.

Differences in baseline, model and perhaps other factors. They appear to be correlated, since the gfs values have also spiked recently, but with an offset.

4-21-F2014 12z CFS: +0.37 C.    April: +0.127 C

 

 

From weatherguy:

 

12z was 0.38C with a monthly anomaly of 0.132C.

 

 

 

Damn.  I was right about April having a big toasting ending but I was wrong about global ssta going up again.

 

 

 

I don't agree with Bob Tisdale's BS about climate change.

 

But his graphics are nice.

 

Global ssta dropped to 0.29C+ for the weeklies.  The last three weeks have been .30, .31, .29.  So some temporary stability in terms of daily global temps at the oceans surface.

 

Which means some of the recent warming could be lag from the step up that took place from .22C+ to .30C+ in two weeks.  That would yield almost .10C of extra warming.  Also land factors must be at play for the Earth to be roasting versus averages. 

 

with no NINO yet at all.  But we are enso positive now. 

 

But we have a hell of a way to go before we peak.  Nino is about to explode onto the scene.

 

We are currently rocking a .87C+ GISS equivalent anomaly.  Since CFS is a 4 times per day sampling its pretty damn accurate and reliable with the comparison method ORH and Skier devised.

 

We can track the global temps on a daily timescale now.

 

Hell really a 6 hour timescale which is remarkable.

 

Can we convert UAH or is it to off from the surface?

OHC DATA FOR JFM SHOULD BE OUT SOON.

I thought that the equivelant GISS temp was to adjust the CFS by .55 + a few hundreds??  So the month currently sits a .137...which equates to about .68 or so....how do you get +.87??

12z CFS: 0.38C and the monthly was 0.152C.

 

 

Damn.

 

If GISS is .75C+ in April the year would be : .6475C(.65C+)

Outside chance of breaking April 2010 (0.82C+)? Global temperatures will need to stay above 0.30C+ on WxBell CFS for the remainder of the month, which will be a challenge.

It appears as if ENSO is finally going to let NINO shine.

 

On multiple data sets we now have a very warm area of water off the SA coastline showing up at the surface.

 

 

 

with the forecasted weakening of the trades again we should see this warm area of water to surface from 80W to 120W or so.

 

The Indian Ocean is going bonkers now.  Wow.

Global ssta have remarkably bounced back up to .32C+.

 

The SH weeklies bounced back up to .34C+ from .28.5C+.

 

The NH weeklies are steady at .305C+.

 

 

This is pretty much terrible attm.

 

All of a sudden the Equatorial Central Pacific is blowing up with huge ssta.

 

The North and Central Indian ocean all dramatically warmed the last couple of days.

 

Around Australia as well.

 

And finally ENSO is appearing off the SA coast.

 

This may be a time when we take a major jump up in temps.

PDO signature much different than the past 3 years as well.

I love how global temperatures have actually been dropping, but you would think the opposite from Friv's posts...

Yeah, this is not really relevant.  In fact, the following the weatherbell dailies is more for entertainment than actual global temperature analysis.  The SST trend (which is very high for this time of year) are a more important measure of where we may go from here.

The .05C+ is equivalent to a .60C+.

 

The .147C+ is equal to a .70C+ on GISS.

 

The top April months on giss by year:

 

2010: .82C+

2007: .71C+

2005: .67C+

1998: .63C+

 

 

This means April will likely be the 3rd warmest on GISSTEMP.

 

It's not really cool at all. 

 

 

And we haven't even gotten started.

The SST trend can easily reverse this time of the year. Even during developing El Ninos. They aren't much different from analyzing the weatherbell trends...in fact, the weatherbell maps would be more accurate since they include land.

 

SSTs will become more relevant in late summer and autumn.

I think at the level we are currently at the global ssta are plenty relevant in terms of how this April is so warm.

 

The only time this early in the year have the global ssta been this high was in April of 1998 when we were coming out of a super nino.

 

 

Which finished at .63C on GISS.  May of 1998 finished at a .68C and June was a .75C with nino collapsing during April-May.

 

 

The warmest months of May from GISS:

 

2010: .70C+

2012: .70C+

1998: .68C+

2007: .64C+

 

 

 

Global ssta in 1998 remained along and above .30C until late Summer.

 

 

Global ssta in 2007 were around the .20C mark going from April into May.

 

Global ssta in 2010 were above .30C+ thru April until the last or second to last week.  Before they dropped into the .25C range into June.

 

Global ssta in 2012 were around .15C in April and up to .20C in May.

This will ensure that May is warm.  I am looking forward to seeing how far the global ssta carry May.

Disagree.  SSTs are on weekly timescale which inherently matter more than the daily weatherbell update due to temporal resolution alone.

We'll agree to disagree then....they don't provide that much usefulness in terms of predictive power until the later summer when you can lag ENSO pretty well.

 

 

They change all the time and they often will not line up that well with LOTI GISS...we at least know how the weatherbell maps relate to GISS....Friv's OISST anomaly graphs are mostly speculation. Maybe someone can provide some hard mathematical stats on how the OISST anomalies correspond with GISS temps much like we were able to do with the weatherbell maps. Until then, they don't provide much usefulness other than prior week SST anomalies. You can't tell us if they are going to increase or decrease in the next couple of weeks at this point based on that data.

 Also a little warning about OISST maps: they've been found to be deceptive by NOAA at least during one very unforgettable (for me at least) period. Does anyone recall how much sudden warming OISST maps were showing in 3.4 ~late October of 2012, which lead others and myself to believe a weak El Nino was actually getting started? People that had access to daily Nino 3.4 were posting the daily strong warming updates. It turned out these maps were showing some kind of either false warming or misleading warming that reversed very quickly.

I find the NESDIS data to be the most accurate, by far..here's today's update: http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/sst/anomaly/2014/anomnight.4.28.2014.gif

Also, I'm astonished at how people fixate on every blip in global temperatures, then try to extrapolate the blip and draw large-scale conclusions from it...global temperatures can swing by over 1C in 10 days.

It's wiser to look at this on a 12-18 week resolution, rather than try to analyze noise.
