Much study has been devoted to the possible causes of an apparent decrease in upward trend global surface temperatures since 1998, a phenomenon that dubbed warming "hiatus." Here, we present updated temperature analysis reveals trends are higher than those reported by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, especially recent decades, and central estimate for rate during first 15 years 21st century is at least as great last half 20th century. These results do not support notion "slowdown"...

It is commonly believed that greenhouse‐gas‐induced global warming can weaken the east Asian winter monsoon but strengthen summer monsoon, because of stronger over high‐latitude land as compared to low‐latitude oceans. In this study, we show surface wind speed associated with has significantly weakened in both and recent three decades. From 1969 2000, annual mean China decreased steadily by 28%, prevalence windy days (daily > 5 m/s) 58%. The temperature trends during period have not been...

Abstract Described herein is the parametric and structural uncertainty quantification for monthly Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) version 4 (v4). A Monte Carlo ensemble approach was adopted to characterize uncertainty, because initial experiments indicate existence of significant nonlinear interactions. Globally, resulting exhibits a wider range before 1900, as well an maximum around World War II. Changes at smaller spatial scales in many regions, or important features...

Abstract The strength of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is often measured using a single, discrete value the Niño index. However, this method does not consider sea surface temperature (SST) uncertainty associated with observations and data processing. On basis Niño3.4 index its uncertainty, we find that three strongest ENSO events separable at 95% confidence level. monthly peak SST anomalies in most recent 2015–2016 tied 1997–1998 1982–1983 as strongest. negative values occur within...

Abstract Arctic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are estimated mostly from satellite ice concentration (SIC) estimates. In regions with the SST is temperature of open water or under ice. A number different proxy estimates based on SIC have been developed. recent years more quality-control buoy SSTs become available, allowing better validation and development improved Here approaches evaluated an method shown.

Abstract Global surface temperature changes are a fundamental expression of climate change. Recent, much-debated variations in the observed rate change have highlighted importance uncertainty adjustments applied to sea (SST) measurements. These compensate for systematic biases and observing protocol. Better quantification their uncertainties would increase confidence estimated provide higher-quality gridded SST fields use many applications. Bias been based on either physical models processes...
