La Nina is officially done and its global cooling influence also seems to be fading……… Remote Sensing Systems has released their global temperature anomaly data for the lower troposphere as measured by microwave sounding units on board satellites. The RSS image below shows the lower tropospheric temperature anomalies in Celsius for April 2012. April 2012 averaged 0.333 Celsius above normal
Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) has just released their January 2012 satellite measured temperature anomaly data for the lower troposphere. According to RSS, January 2012 was the second coldest January globally since 1993. The actual satellite measured temperature anomaly came in at -0.060 C. The last time it was that low was a few years ago in January of 2008, when
The growth rate of sea ice in the Arctic this past month was the lowest for January going back to the start of the satellite record in 1979, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The slow growth likely stemmed from winds from the south and west that compressed the sea ice in the Barents Sea, and above-average
How did December rank in terms of satellite measured temperature anomalies for the globe? According to Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), the global average temperature anomaly for the lower troposphere was +0.114 celsius or .205 F. November 2011 came in at +0.032 celsius. The RSS image below shows the lower tropospheric temperature anomalies for most of the globe for December 2011.
Very interesting article was written today by Washington Post blogger Andrew Freedman (Capital Weather Gang) in regards to a press release from the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) UAH satellite measured temperature anomalies of the lower atmosphere since 1979. Image courtesy of Dr. Roy Spencer of UAH. GISS land/ocean observed annual temperature anomalies since 1880. The press release from
August 2011 was the sixth warmest August on record globally for the lower troposphere, according to Remote Sensing Systems, as measured by microwave sounding data from satellites. The satellite measured records go back to 1979. Globally, August 2011 was +.291 celsius above normal over land/sea combined, according to RSS. In the continental U.S., the average temperature for the month of
