I’ve just discovered an issue which will cause CA to need to be shutdown for a short while to be resolved. I hope to do this change early in the morning (GMT) of 23rd December (tomorrow). I apologize in advance for the disruption. What will happen is that there may be a period when comments […]
The following comes from Pat Frank regarding my question here This plot shows projections from 10 of the 15 GCMs tested in the “Intercomparison of Present and Future Climates Simulated by Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere GCMs” CMDI Report No. 66. The GCM data were digitized off Figure 27 of the Report. The plot also shows the linear […]
Here’s an interesting graphic from lecture notes of Jed Schneider and Kathryn Clapp here showing the flow of ice through a mountain glacier. If this is representative of flow in mountain glaciers, one wonders at what exactly is being recorded in a vertical drill hole away from the summit (such as Guliya Core 2). I’ll […]
Here’s an interesting graphic from Shiaiwa et al (Ann Glac 2002) showing dO18 for the top 30+ meters of the Glaciar Tyndall, Patagonia (by comparison, the Kilimanjaro glacier is only about 50 m thick and Thompson’s Himalaya glaciers (other than Guliya Core 2) are about 100-150 meters thick. You will notice sharper dO18 definition in […]
Three cores were drilled at Dasuopu. We don’t hear much about Core #1. It was drilled in a flow zone and, despite being 160 m deep, is only back to 1922 in the most recent discussion. I’m intrigued with this for a variety of reasons, including the fact that Guliya Core #3, the one that […]
I’ve submitted two short review comments on Juckes et al – one on their representation of M&M issues and one on the Union reconstruction. The comment period expires on December 21. My comments overlap somewhat with Willis’ draft. I’ve paid attention to various comments by others here, but, in these short reviews, it’s hard to […]
Here’s a quick summary of the overlap of proxies in three widely publicized “independent” 2006 studies. The number of proxies are all small (Juckes -18; Osborn – 14; Hegerl – 12). All three use multiple bristlecone/foxtail chronologies: Juckes 4; OSborn 2; Hegerl 2. All three use Fisher’s Greenland dO18, Tornetrask (Juckes twice, Hegerl mis-identifying it); […]
Day Four at AGU didn’t have as much climate stuff as the first three days. Aside from Al Gore, I went to a number of ice core and ocean sediment presentations.
Al Gore was welcomed by a standing ovation from about 4,000 scientists from the AGU convention in the Salon 8 Ballroom at the Marriott San Francisco. He spoke for an hour and was a far more accomplished speaker than one remembers from Presidential debates, glancing only occasionally at notes. It was like a Southern Baptist […]
Despite ordering and paying for an upgrade to a VPS plan, this wasn’t implemented yet by the server and the site was still on the same server. Once again, traffic led to the server shutting down the site today. We’re back up still on the shared server. The upgrade to VPS is supposed to be […]
