RSS has posted theirs… <br />http://www.remss.com/data/msu/monthly_time_series/RSS_Monthly_MSU_AMSU_Channel_TLT_Anomalies_Land_and_Ocean_v03_2.txt<br />…and it’s far short of the preliminary value Dr Spencer gave. That’s not to say that RSS won’t jump next month. And while the preliminary reading Dr. Spencer gave was a record high for a January, it is not a record high for the dataset. That still happened in 1998. <br /><br />If memory serves me well, UAH switched satellites this year. That may be a factor -- might be a major factor. <br /><br />Then there is always the long-term effect, step change, of the 1997/98 El Nino… <br />http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/2009/06/rss-msu-tlt-time-latitude-plots.html<br />…which has to be considered. It shifted Northern Hemisphere TLT anomalies higher. Same reason the 2000s were warmer than the 1990s:<br />http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/2009/11/global-temperatures-this-decade-will-be.html<br /><br />RegardsBob Tisdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462377647970214137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-83429777658862388922010-02-08T15:21:45.567-05:002010-02-08T15:21:45.567-05:00Hi Bob -

Dr Spencer posited that some of it may be to weakening of circulatory patterns over the ocean.<br /><br />Just wanted to see if you had any thoughts. While the OI.v2 readings are high, they aren't nearly as high as the satellite readings are this month.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />-JohnJohnnoreply@blogger.com
