At Steve Mosher’s request, a thread for the revived effort to compile Gistemp.
Zotero is a Firefox add-on that, within the browser, can capture academic citations from Google Scholar, many library catalogues and multiple other sources. It permits you to insert links to the pdfs (both external and on your own directory) and go to them within the browser, to add your own cross-reference tags and notes. I […]
As Hu McCulloch mentioned, I am speaking tomorrow, Friday May 16, at OSU on “Was 1998 the Warmest Year of the Millennium: What do We Really Know?” The talk will be 2:30-3:48 in Scott Lab 001 (a big lecture hall in the basement of the south end of the east wing). A reception will follow. […]
Anything by Demetris Koutsoyiannis is always worth spending time on. Spence_UK draws our attention to this recent presentation at AGU asking: How well do the models capture the scaling behaviour of the real climate, by assessing standard deviation at different scales. (Albeit at a regional, rather than global level). Assessment of the reliability of climate […]
Steve Mosher provides the following recipe for getting GISS Model E results: Ok getting ModelE data Start here http://data.giss.nasa.gov/ See the link for climate simulations of 1880-2003. click that http://data.giss.nasa.gov/modelE/transient/climsim.html Here you will see the link to the paper and all the readme I know of now to get the data look at table 1.

Here at Climate Audit, we occasionally try to solve mysteries that have vexed climate scientists for years. On a previous occasion, we helped UCAR locate the mysterious civilization of Chile, on another occasion the lost city of Wellington NZ and, most recently, helped NASA find the lost city of Cobija, Bolivia. Today we’ll help the […]
Four of the past 5 months are “all-time” records for Southern Hemisphere sea ice anomalies, “unprecedented” since the data set began in 1979 as shown below: On a global basis, world sea ice in April 2008 reached levels that were “unprecedented” for the month of April in over 25 years. Levels are the third highest […]
One of the issues in play in criticisms of Douglass et al 2007 pertained to their use of RAOBCORE 1.2 rather than RAOBCORE 1.4. As an editorial comment, since some critics of Climate Audit seem to feel that I bear some personal responsibility for defending this paper, I was not a co-author of Douglass et […]
Last year, we noted the insolent and unresponsive answers by IPCC chapter 6 Lead Authors to Review Comments in connection with the Hockey Stick reconstructions. Under IPCC policies, Review Editors have important obligations to ensure responsiveness of Chapter Authors (see policies discussed here). The comments by Review Editors were not put online by IPCC, but, […]
