Trolling Blunder, tell me why they use "anomalies" ? Come on little fella tell me....LOL
Well, slack-jawed, I was hoping we could hear the definition you made up for the word. Those are usually hilariously absurd. Oh well. Here's what it actually means. From two sources, since you're such a troll.
From the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology:
Anomaly
The departure of an element from its long-period average value for the location concerned. For example, if the maximum temperature for June in Melbourne was 1 degree Celsius higher than the long-term average for this month, the anomaly would be +1 degrees Celsius. The current international standard is to use the 30 year average from 1961 to 1990 as the long-term average.
a·nom·a·ly
   noun, plural-lies.
6. - Meteorology. the amount of deviation of a meteorological quantity from the accepted normal value of that quantity.
So come on little trollie, tell me what you hallucinate your point was.
Unfortunately 30 years or for that matter 100 years is not long term data. The temperature is only "anomalous" for the time period that the meters have been in play. In Human standard time it could be construed as "long term" In geologic time it is nothing.
The definition of "anomalous" that you are using isn't the same as the one used in meteorology.
