2010 The hottest year on record

[Chris]

With three days left in September, the month is shaping up to be one of the hottest and driest on record for Boulder.

Matt Kelsch, a meteorologist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, said Boulder's high temperatures for September, so far, are averaging 84.2 degrees -- about 7 degrees above average.

"It's been a warm, dry August and September," he said.

Depending on how hot it gets on Tuesday, he said, Boulder has a chance to beat the second-highest average September temperature -- 84.5 degrees -- set in 1956.

Boulder also could break the record high temperature for Sept. 28 of 89 degrees. Tuesday's forecast calls for highs in the low 90s.

Salinas Valley cities saw some of their hottest days on record today as a heat wave swept the state.

At the Salinas airport, National Weather Service forecaster Bob Benjamin said the thermometer hit 102 degrees, breaking this day's 1970 record of 101 by one degree.

But near South Main Street in Salinas, the temperature was one degree shy of a 1970 record of 102 degrees. The temperatures more than doubled from last night's low, recorded at 46 degrees.

As for the beach city of Santa Cruz, the temperature there reached 103 degrees, tying its 1970 record.

All those nice little airports giving high readings. No wonder those are the weather stations of choice for those who wish to inflate the temp data. Salinas' airport had major work done in 1999 that added over 1000 feet of nice cement aprons to the airport and encroached on the weather station even further. Santa Cruz had major work done all over the place following the Loma Prieta earthquake back in 1989, I have no idea how much more cement and asphalt were laid down but it was significant.

In other words yet another epic fail for those who would supposedly tell us what the real temperatures are. But the religious fanatics will ignore that.

STOCKTON - A freakish fall heat wave apparently reached its peak Tuesday, with a record-breaking temperature of 102 degrees in Stockton, the National Weather Service said.

The old record was 98 degrees, set just two years ago.

Average temperatures recorded in Canada’s north this past summer are among the highest recorded in 63 years of data collection, according to preliminary figures released by Environment Canada.

Temperatures in northern B.C. and the Yukon were slightly less than one degree Celsius above the recorded average, but the warming trend was more pronounced in the most northerly regions.

The arctic mountains and fiords were 1.9C above average, the hottest summer on record. Summer in Mackenzie region, which encompasses much of the Northwest Territories, was the third hottest on record. Six of the past ten summers in the arctic tundra region have been ranked in the top ten hottest summers recorded.

Here is a look at some of the record-breaking temperatures from across the globe:

1. A record high in Los Angeles
For the first time ever, downtown L.A. registered at 113 degrees on Monday, besting the previous mark of 112 set in 1990.

2. Houston's hottest month ever
While Houston's residents are used to hot days, they've never seen heat like this, with an average temperature of 87.8 degrees in August, a new record for the hottest month in the city's history.

3. A new all-time high in Asia
Temperatures in Pakistan's ancient city of Mohenjo-daro reached a scorching 129 degrees on June 1, marking the hottest weather ever recorded in Asia, and the fourth-highest temperature in history.

4. An unprecedented heat wave in Russia
With smoke from burning peat-bogs clogging the muggy air, the heat in Moscow on August 6 broke the "psychological barrier" of 40 degrees Celsius, or 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. Record heat in Sudan
While searing weather is common in Sudan, the 121-degree temperature recorded on June 25 in the city of Dongola was the hottest the country has ever seen. The previous record was set in 1987.

6. New all-time highs in the Middle East
U.S. troops in Iraq endured some of the most intense heat of the summer. The mercury hit a blistering 125.6 degrees Fahrenheit in July, the highest temperature ever recorded in the country.

7. The hottest month in world history — four times in a row
June 2010 was the warmest month ever recorded on planet Earth. The previous mark had been set in May. The mark before that had been set in April. The one before that in March. Sense a trend?

Well folks, I really can't devote all day to posting the actual conditions of each weather situation Chris decides to post. Just note that in almost every case he has presented thus far, I have found significant problems with the weather station. It appears it me that the weather service has a very poor system of observation which they prefer, so they can manipulate the data to their own ends and future funding.

 

[Old Rocks]

I see. Then all the weather satellites that the various nations have in orbit are part of the nefarious plot to confuse poor little people like you.

 

[saveliberty]

I see. Then all the weather satellites that the various nations have in orbit are part of the nefarious plot to confuse poor little people like you.

How many countries have weather data satellites? How many of them have their data "processed" through the faither system?

 

[westwall]

I see. Then all the weather satellites that the various nations have in orbit are part of the nefarious plot to confuse poor little people like you.

Well I wonder how many other weather satellites there are? The Europeans have one METEOSAT-8 (originally called MSG-1 and lo and behold it has a few problems) the EU is planning on launching a bunch of new satellites beginning in 2015 however.

"MSG is capable of full-disk images every 15 minutes. With a 60-cm aperture and a ton of spin-stabilized mass, imagery is sharp and stable.

Bandwidth limitations allow it to only downlink half of the 1 km resolution visible data (the left, middle, or right portion of the full-width scan). Their notion of data compression is to throw away half the image.

MSG-1 was originally scheduled to launch in October 2000, but was delayed until July 2001 to deal with issues with the launch (moving from a dedicated launch on Ariane-4 to a rougher, shared launch on Ariane-5) and the ground segment. Further concerns about the ground system readiness delayed the launch schedule to August 2002. The MSG-1 satellite was successfully launched on 28 August 2002, and turned over to EUMETSAT on 25 September. First public imagery was due in late October 2002.

However, on 17 October 2002, a power supply switched off unexpectedly. Since then, the three remaining power supplies are being babied, preventing the global rebroadcast of the full resolution imagery, which will have to be routed through commercial communications satellites. As of November 2003, SEVERI HRIT and LRIT data is transmitted via EUMETCast, a satellite DVB broadcast system that provides coverage over Europe, Africa, the Middle East and parts of eastern North and South America."


The Russians launched their first of a series of five planned weather satellites in September of 2009 and the last word is it is still in the calibration stage (I would hope that that has been completed by now but there has been no update yet) it is known as the Meteor-M-1

The Japanese have the GOES-9 satellite but guess what? IT'S OPERATED BY NOAA! And it is one of those reading poorly.

The Indians have INSAT and guess what? Well I'll just cut and paste for you!

"In the mid-1990's, INSAT imagery was encrypted to hide it from the surrounding nations, leaving a major gap in real time global cloud coverage. An agreement was signed in late 1997 by NASA, NOAA, and the Indian government for western access to real time INSAT data, and data began flowing by mid-1999.
These publicly available INSAT images are at least 3 days old, in accordance with the agreement with India not to distribute real time INSAT data. Even then, these images are restricted to use by the employees of NASA and NOAA, and to their contract employees, including univerities engaged in NASA-funded or NOAA-funded research."

Canada has the PCW satellite controlled by you guessed it NOAA.

The Chinese have the Feng Yung 2 satellite and guess what? Yep controlled by NASA and NOAA.

Below is a request from the dirrector of information control Jim Dodge.


It would also help if you would give me a brief description of the
research that your are planning to do with the data. While we have heard
of the desires to study the diurnal variabilities of various cloud regimes,
and the interactions among atmospheric layers, as well as the evolution
of large-scale storm systems, we are also interested to learn of the many
possible atmospheric radiation interpretations, boundary layer-ocean
interactions, multiple satellite analyses, latent heat exchange estimations,
wind-wave relationships, rainfall estimation, and possible bioproductivity
implications.

Thanks for helping us to provide an efficient data access and
delivery system for what promises to be a great new source of
environmental satellite data.

All-time record high temperature for October tied in Tucson today

10/1/2010 at 6:55PM by Jeff Beamish

TUCSON - Summer refuses to call it quits on the first day of October.

According to News 4 Meteorologist Jeff Beamish, the Tucson International Airport hit 102 degrees today. That eclipsed the record high of 101 degrees set on this date in 1955.

In addition, the 102 degree high in Tucson today tied the all-time record high temperature for the month of October. The last time Tucson hit 102 degrees in October was on October 3rd, 1993.

As of 3 p.m. on Thursday, the temperature in Reno was 94 degrees. That means we broke the old record of 92 set back in 1980.

This marks the fourth day of breaking record high temperatures in the Reno-Sparks area. The forecast high for tomorrow in Reno is 91. The record stands at 91, which was also set back in 1980. We could very well tie it.

GEO-NEWS AROUND THE WORLD

Now if NASA controlled this satellite, why would they be requesting permission to recieve and share the data?

If anyone else goes to the site given, you will readily see that NASA does not control the satellites of other nations. That there are agreements by which nations that have not launched the various satellites share data, and have stations of their own to recieve that data.

Why the purposeful lies, Walleyes? For that is what the statement that NASA controls the information from the satellites of foriegn nations is.

GEO-NEWS AROUND THE WORLD

NASA requested and obtained permission to receive and share FY-2 data. This satellite will provide much needed coverage of the central Asian Hemisphere on an hourly basis. NASA has arranged to receive the data in Adelaide, Australia at the University of Southern Australia, and to transmit some full-resolution data, as well as calculated real-time products and localized sectors, over the Internet through Hawaii to NASA's Ames Research Center and Goddard Space Flight Center. There, the data will join similar data already being provided for GOES-8/9 and GMS-5. The data will be a short-term archive of infrared-resolution images, on-line for perhaps a week. Long-term archiving of the data will be performed by anyone willing to download the images using anonymous FTP from the NASA sites.
X-Sender: jdodge@mail.hq.nasa.gov
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 1734 -0400
Subject: Real-Time FY-2 Data

Dear Colleagues:

Many of you have expressed an interest in receiving geostationary
meteorological satellite data over the Asian Hemisphere. As you know the
Chinese have recently launched a successful geostationary satellite and
placed it at 105 deg E. Highly-compressed samples of their three channels
(VIS, IR, and WV) are provided as attachments to this e-mail. Direct
broadcast of the FY-2 data will begin in Oct., 1997. NASA has located a
ground station for direct reception of the data at the Univ. of Southern
Australia in Adelaide. The antenna has been erected, and the receiver,
built in Hawaii and tested on GMS, will be installed before reception begins.

Since any geostationary satellite produces large volumes of data, and
FY-2, with its three bands, and hourly observations is no exception, we plan
to place a computer at the reception site to generate segmented or
subsampled files for reduced-volume transmission of the key data sets
for real-time projects. We ask that you consider your real-time data
requests carefully and plan a regular downloading of the requested products
before their residence on the temporary storage site expires. Currently,
we are planning a two-week residence time for the data. The data will be
mirrored through Ames Research Center, and the Goddard Space Flight
Center.

We ask that you submit your requests for various areas and/or
formats of real-time data so that we may attempt to consolidate the
requests into reasonable sets of data that may satisfy the needs of
several users and thereby save storage space and processing time.

West Palm Beach sweated through its hottest September on record, as the city reached an average temperature of 84.3 degrees, the National Weather Service in Miami said Thursday. That broke the previous record of 83.3 degrees set in 1951.

Fort Lauderdale saw an average September temperature of 83.2 degrees, shy of that city's record of 84.5, set in 2008. Miami reached 83.5 degrees, while the record is 84.02, set in 1974 and 1989.

West Palm Beach's heat record comes after it experienced its warmest three-month period of June, July and August, as did Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The weather service said persistent high pressure generated all the heat.

Last month was the hottest September on record for Colorado Springs, and La Niña, the Pacific Ocean climatic phenomenon blamed for the heat wave, is predicted to continue through the fall and winter, said Mark Wankowski, meterologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo.

Last month’s average temperature was a whopping 7.2 degrees warmer than the long-term September average of 59.8 degrees and 0.4 degrees warmer than the previous record average temperature for September of 66.6 degrees, set in 1931.
