Extreme weather is not climate.. its just weather.

Overall, the temperature is increasing, worldwide... If it wasn't, then why have so many threads about global warming in this forum?

With all this global warming legislation should be passed NOW to tax everyone who uses carbon which is causing all this horrible global warming!!!! PS. can anyone tell me where is the warm summer weather we missed this summer!!!! What a total crock of shit GLOBAL WARMING IS

 

[Sinatra]

Check out this map - it looks like November weather - not October.

This cooling is widespread, and appears to compliment those scientists who have been stating for the past few years that we were heading for a cooling trend...

and?

What you may have guessed, Ken Dewey has confirmed.

Oct. 1-11 was the coldest Oct. 1-11 period on record for Lincoln, with records going back 123 years to 1887.

High temperatures over the weekend were usually the highs Lincoln records for early to mid-December, according to Dewey, professor of applied climate science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Saturday's high temperature at the Lincoln airport was only 38 degrees. The previous record low maximum for the date was 41, set in 1987.

Sunday's high temperature was only 40 degrees. The previous coldest maximum was 47, in 1946.

Similar record-low maximums were set across much of Nebraska. Several cities also had record minimums.

Dewey said the average temperature for the first 11 days in Lincoln was 46.7 degrees, almost a full degree colder than the 48.6 degree average temperature for Oct. 1-11, 2000.

Also in top 10:

1935: 49.3 degrees

1925, 1977: 49.6 degrees

1987: 50.3 degrees

1985: 50.4 degrees

1891: 50.7 degrees

1952: 51 degrees

1988: 51.1 degrees

1959: 51.4 degrees

The weekend cold was part of an Arctic blast that also brought snow to most of Nebraska. On Saturday, the North Platte airport record 13.8 inches of snow -- not only a daily record but more snow in one day than the city had ever received in the full month of October.

Sunday night, another weather system brought a new band of snow to the central and northern Sandhills, with average snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches.

Temperatures are expected to improve somewhat the next couple of days, but rain is likely Tuesday afternoon and night, the weather service said.

Highs should reach the mid-40s Tuesday, around 50 Wednesday and Thursday, the upper 50s Friday and Saturday and the lower 60s on Sunday.

Just because the polar caps are melting and sending in a breeze of arctic air for a few days now and then, does not negate the fact that the OVERALL temperatures are going up..

I don't care how many "record lows" there are- the record highs are trumping the lows, and have been for many many decades. The overall mean temperature has increased by over two degrees in just a hundred years.. A few days of record lows, even worldwide, will not change those figures.

You'd be better off talking to a fencepost.

Data confirms both the earth and the oceans are cooling.

Warmers appear to be having a very hard time coming to terms with that.

The drop in ocean temps has been particularly drastic...

Boy, talk about cherry picking one set of data and claiming that it represent all the sets. Here are the real graphs from NODC. By the way, you neglected to give the source of your graph as a link.



Climate Observations: ENSO Dominates NODC Ocean Heat Content (0-700 Meters) Data

Saturday, September 5, 2009
ENSO Dominates NODC Ocean Heat Content (0-700 Meters) Data
UPDATE October 8, 2009:

KNMI corrected a problem in its NODC Ocean Heat Content data on October 1, 2009. The error grew in effect with the distance from the equator. It changed the scale of the variations but did not drastically change the overall shape of the curves. The problem, therefore, had no real impact on this post, which illustrated the timing of ENSO-induced step changes in a number of ocean subsets. But to prevent a disagreement between the data presented in this post and future ones, I have redone the graphs in the following.

In the original version of the post, I had also provided links to graphs of unsmoothed versions of Figures 3 through 14. I have not provided them in this revision.

This post also updates the data through June 2009.

The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) recently added the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) Ocean Heat Content (OHC) dataset to their Climate Explorer website, allowing users to download data based on user-defined global coordinates.
Climate Explorer: Select a monthly field

This OHC dataset was presented in the Levitus et al (2009) paper “Global ocean heat content(1955-2008) in light of recent instrumentation problems” [GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 36, L07608, doi:10.1029/2008GL037155, 2009]ftp://ftp.nodc.noaa.gov/pub/data.nodc/woa/PUBLICATIONS/grlheat08.pdf

There are differences in the presentation of the data. The NODC illustrates their OHC data for the 0 to 700 meter layer in 10^22 Joules, but KNMI presents the data on an area-averaged basis, in units of Gigajoules (10^9 Joules) per square meter. The data is the same; the units in which the data is presented are different. Also, the NODC provides the data on a quarterly basis; that is, the data is grouped in three-month averages. KNMI presents the NODC OHC data on a monthly basis by listing the quarterly data for each of the three months. This is why the OHC data appears to be squared off in the graphs of monthly raw data. This can be seen in Figure 1.
