Radiation versus Temperature
Visitor Publish by Willis Eschenbach
Because of the latest posts by Lord Monkton and Nick Stokes, I’ve been fascinated by the connection between radiation and temperature. So I turned to the CERES dataset. Here’s a scatterplot of the month-to-month world common floor temperature versus the month-to-month world common downwelling complete radiation absorbed by the floor. The overall radiation is the sum of the online photo voltaic radiation on the floor and the downwelling longwave radiation on the floor. I’ve eliminated the seasonal differences from the information.
Notice that three.7 W/m2 is the rise in downwelling longwave radiation anticipated from a doubling of CO2 …
After I noticed that, I assumed nicely, perhaps the rise is small as a result of there’s a lag between the absorption of the radiation and the warming. To see if that was the case, I did a cross-correlation evaluation of the connection.
No lag seen.
Now, I get busted usually for drawing what I’m informed are the unsuitable conclusions from the information that I current. So I’m simply gonna say …

Me, I’m scripting this from banks of the Kenai River in Alaska, certainly one of my favourite spots on this planet. After I bought off the airplane, the aroma of the air was completely intoxicating. Summertime is brief right here however the days are lengthy, and the air is filled with the heady fragrance of each plant and each animal rising and going at triple velocity, benefiting from the temporary Alaska summer time. Right here’s what the solar is doing right now this far north …
My best regards to all, might your days be as stuffed with sunshine as mine,

PS—My ordinary request: whenever you remark, please quote the precise phrases you’re responding to, so we are able to all be clear about who and what you’re speaking about.
PPS—Bonus query. What latitude on the planet will get probably the most hours of daylight per 12 months?
