Uncertainty in the Global Average Surface Air Temperature Index: a Representative Lower Limit
Sensor measurement uncertainty has never been fully considered in prior appraisals of global average surface air temperature. The estimated average ±0.2 C station error has been incorrectly assessed as random, and the systematic error from uncontrolled variables has been invariably neglected. The systematic errors in measurements from three ideally sited and maintained temperature sensors are c...
متن کاملEffect of black surfaces to increase the average surface temperature of the earth: A global warning!
Gradual increase of the Earth's surface temperature can cause many significant changes on the climate of our planet. This problem is progressively increasing. One of the main reasons for this phenomenon is the absorption of the Sun's energy and lack of proper reflection of emissions due to man-made activities, one of which is the increase in black surfaces. In this descriptive and cross-sectio...
متن کاملGlobal Trends of Measured Surface Air Temperature
We analyze surface air temperature data from available meteorological stations with principal focus on the period 1880-1985. The temperature changes at midand high latitude stations separated by less than 1000 km are shown to be highly correlated; at low latitudes the correlation falls off more rapidly with distance for nearby stations. We combine the station data in a way which is designed to ...

متن کاملEstimates of Uncertainty in Predictions of Global Mean Surface Temperature
A method for estimating uncertainty in future climate change is discussed in detail and applied to predictions of global mean temperature change. The method uses optimal fingerprinting to make estimates of uncertainty in model simulations of twentieth-century warming. These estimates are then projected forward in time using a linear, compact relationship between twentieth-century warming and tw...
