Update on 2005 temperatures Mise à Jour sur les températures 2005

11 Nov 2005 by Gavin

Further to our post about whether 2005 will be a year of record warmth, Jim Hansen has put out a brief discussion on the Washington Post report and some of the subsequent discussion. One minor clarification to his statements is that the reporter involved (Juliet Eilperin) did in fact leave messages for the relevant people at GISS (including me) prior to publication, but sometimes people can just be difficult to track down. Oh….and for those who are counting, with the preliminary October data in, 2005 has pulled ahead of 1998 in both the GISS land based met. station index (0.76 to 0.73°C) and the GISS land-ocean index (0.59 to 0.58°C). All previous caveats still apply….

En complément du message sur le record de température possible de l’année 2005, Jim Hansen a écrit une courte discussion (en anglais) sur l’article du Washington Post report et des discussions sur cet article. Et pour le record, avec les données disponibles d’octobre, 2005 est passé devant 1998 dans les deux types de données du GISS, l’index “GISS land” sur des stations météo terrestres (0.76 comparé a 0.73°C) ainsi que pour l’index “GISS land-ocean” (0.59 to 0.58°C). Les mises en garde précédentes sont toujours valables…

    Speaking of this warmest year on record, can anyone explain why this winter will be colder than winter of 2004-05? -As explained by NOAA and other met organizations-. Does greater than normal heat radiation accelerate heat lost? Or does it get colder during winter from a historically all time high in temperature fall?
