[...] Posted largely without comment it is evident from the data fresh in from the Hadley center where global temperatures are headed. As in this post in March, I have plotted both northern and southern hemisphere temperatures, along with the global average. While March was notable due to a large divergence in temperatures between the hemispheres, in May the divergence has been completely retraced, and the NH is following the SH temperatures downward. [...]

Bob... never mind. I found this: AMO page. I also clicked to this link, which is cool: tool to make maps

Bob Tisdale-- Do you have a link showing current AMOs? I found this: figure and this data. But the figure only gets to 2000 and the data only gets to 1990.

IPCC Projections Continue to Falsify…

I promised I would check the status of the comparison between IPCC AR4 projection of 2C/century each month and report. The NOAA data came in last week, and I had a chance to update my spread sheet with all data series.
The main result is: Despite an …

Buck: You’ve got Tropical thrown into the average and it doesn’t belong there. You only need the two hemispheres.

Yet (”NH” @ 0.465 + “SH” @ -0.325)/2 does not equal “Global” @ 0.079 because the hemispheric and global references are misnomers. “NH” only covers from 0 to 82.5 latitude (not 0 to 90) and “SH” only covers 0 to -70 (not 0 to -90). Likewise their “Global” coverage is not 90 to -90 deg latitude, but 82.5 to -70.

Can anyone tell me why the global average for RSS MSU temperatures is weigthed toward NH? For March 08 (NH + SH +Tropical) / 3 is negative but global is positive…

#24 vg. Yes it is extraordinary. I would not be surprised if the NH is spuriously high.

I think RSS should really have close look at NH data. The rise is confined to Asia. I would not be surprised if “a correction” is issued shortly. We have to wait for UAH data which should closely match RSS if correct
