UAH Global Temperature Update for April 2021: -0.05 deg. C

Reposted from Dr. Roy Spencer’s Blog

May 2nd, 2021 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for April, 2021 was -0.05 deg. C, down from the March, 2021 value of -0.01 deg. C.

REMINDER: We have changed the 30-year averaging period from which we compute anomalies to 1991-2020, from the old period 1981-2010. This change does not affect the temperature trends.

The global cooling impact of the current La Nina is being fully realized now in global tropospheric temperatures.

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

Various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 16 months are:

Just run the latest GFS for UK snow forcast till the middle of the month in northern and western area’s.its going to snow! Its increasingly clear there is no global warming emergency, its also increasingly clear the last year has seen a significant drop in human imissions yet the c02 in the atmosphere has increased, with a decrease in earths temps since 2016 we see that human co2 imissions and natural co2 imissions are playing no part in effecting the weather patterns la nina is a natural event and has not been effected by so called dangerous levels of co2 ,co2 is playing no part in warming or offsetting natural events which if we believe what the climate experts are telling us should be happening. The linear warming we are lead to believe is not happening, except in the climate models ,we are not seeing catastrophic global warming in any shape or form.

Oh, there were lots and lots of colder April anomalies in the UAH data since 1979, here is the top 10 of an ascending sort:

1993 4 -0.46
1982 4 -0.44
1985 4 -0.43
1992 4 -0.39
1997 4 -0.39
1984 4 -0.37
1989 4 -0.32
1986 4 -0.28
1994 4 -0.28
1981 4 -0.25

2021 is at position 22 of 44.

And if Japan’s Met agency has it right with its ENSO prediction, the little La Nina we are currently in won’t live for long anymore:

What we aren’t seeing is a forecasted El Niño, which is the driver of higher temperatures. It is quite possible for the La Nada to exist through the summer followed by another La Niña which would be something to talk about. Additionally with a La Nada temperatures will not rise overall but trend flat and with the current colder regime we are seeing in both hemispheres certainly isn’t the hotter than Heck, we are all going to die tripe spit out by all the pop climate scientists.

What? 20% El Niño 70% La Nada 10% La Niña going into the fall spells a good chance we stay neutral but from there it is hard to call. The Japanese have their forecast and I actually think they are pretty spot on most of the time, but there is no warm water in the equatorial Pacific depths and even the warm pool typically to the west of the ENSO region is fading.

Looking at that you can see why the forecast is 70% La Nada, but there is a likely chance the Antarctic current that runs north along the South American west coast can strengthen and the upwelling cold water off Peru kicks in the cooling again. You yourself might look a little deeper at how this all fits together.

It’s btw incredibly stoopid to link ‘no warming’ to an anomaly located in the middle of all anomalies of the same month.

And what is really amusing is that while the ‘no warming’ cultists rant all the time against NOAA because of their exaggerated temperature time series, they silently accept NOAA… when it shows a powerful La Nina forecast!!!

If a organisation falsifies a temperature set ( noaa) it should be rightly pointed out , if that same organisation predicts and turns out to be true eg la nina ,it should rightly be pointed out.

Of course you could of said ” when it shows a powerful la nina observation, “which is now true . Your playing very obvious mind games with people bin liner , all your post here today are a act of desperation on your part.

The original comment didn’t mention they were only talking about April anomalies. But you are right, that this was a very middling April, equal 20th.

But that doesn’t make it colder than the 1980s and 1990s. Only 4 out of 20 Aprils during that period where warmer than 2021. Average April temperatures then were -0.19°C. I’d say the fact that an April temperature that would have been one of the warmest during the 80/90s, is now regarded as cold is an indication that warming has ocured.

Mr 250, Yes El Niños and La Niñas affect the anomaly for specific years, so why do insist that a single month during a moderate La Niña, being colder than 4 Aprils during the 1980s and 90s, proves there has been no warming?

Great to see you showing there is NO HUMAN CAUSATION.

And your evidence that the above graph shows no human causation is?

You do know the late 1970s was the COLDEST period in 100+ years, don’t you.

No I don’t know that, mainly because its something you’ve made up.(Now’s your opportunity to provide some genuine evidence to support you claim) But even if it were true, it’s irrelevant to this discussion, which was about comparing 2021 to 1980 – 1999.

Because it’s your claim. You say my graph proves conclusively that all the warming of the last 40 years is caused by El Niño events, but you won’t explain how you come to that conclusion. Then you say none of the warming can be caused by humans, but won’t say how you came to that conclusion.

Meanwhile, the only claim I’ve made in this discussion is that April 2021 was not colder than the 1980s and 1990s. You still won’t say if you think this is true or not.

The past two months have been colder than many months in the ’80s and ’90s. Under assumed man-made global warming, that shouldn’t happen, given so much more plant food in the air now.

Instead of warming, Earth has been cooling for over five years now. Super El Nino of 2015-16 was only fractionally warmer than that of 1997-98, with flat temperatures in between.

The past two months have been colder than many months in the ’80s and ’90s.

Fewer than 20% of the months were warmer than April 2021. It’s a huge stretch to claim that this makes April colder than the 80s and 90s.

Under assumed man-made global warming, that shouldn’t happen, …

Why shouldn’t it happen? There’s a lot of variation month to month in UAH, especially during ENSO events. It will have to get a little warmer before we reach the stage when it’s impossible for the coldest present day month to be colder than any month in the last century.

It would be a lot easier if you just said “yes” or “no”, but we all know why that would be difficult for you.

So, as we’ve already been over 4 out of 24 Aprils between 1980 and 1999 where warmer than April 2021. Does that mean the 1980s and 1990 were warmer than April 2021?

WHERE’S THE WARMING, child-mind???

Three question marks so I suppose you want three answers.

  1. The linear trend over the UAH period is 0.136° / decade. That would imply an average warming of around 0.55°C over the 41 years of the data.
  2. The average anomaly before 2000 was -.0.22°C, the average anomaly between 2000 to 2015 -0.02°C.
  3. We are talking about a single April during a moderate La Niña as being cold, when it would have been above average for the 1981-2010 period.

Note, I am not making any claims here about what caused this warming, but suggesting there hasn’t been any warming is absurd.

Anomalies that are impossible for humans to physically detect. Especially, on any normal day where normal temperatures fluctuate by at least 15 degrees F.

Before noting that temperature datasets are specifically cooked adjusted to show higher recent anomalies and colder past anomalies.

Before noting that alarmist commenters here are hyper-focused on dismissing recent anomalies as ‘warmer’…
Totally ignoring that CO₂ trends consistently higher yet temperatures are not rising in correlation.

That is, CO₂ temperature causation is totally falsified.

One also needs to remember that the satellite record starts at the end of the 1970’s “The next Ice Age is Coming” 1945-1975 cooling. I really doubt if it is really currently warmer than the 1930’s.

The 30s was by far the hottest decade in North America. The highest temperature recorded in Canada remains 114f at Yellowgrass, Saskatchewan in July 1937, my father lived nearby at the time.

The Temperature Data Manipulators haven’t had time to rewrite all the history, like is done in the book titled “1984”, but they are working on it.

As of now though, there are plenty of records to show we are not experiencing unprecedented warming today as the Alarmists claim.

Yes, James Hansen, the guy in charge of NASA’s temperature record at the time, said the year 1934 was the warmest year in the USA and it was 0.5C warmer than 1998.

Somewhere buried in the Climategate emails is a colleague of Hansen’s confirming his claim of 1934 being the hottest year.

Since 1998 and 2016 are statistically tied for the warmest temperatue since 1934, that makes 1934 warmer than 2016 also, and that also means the USA has been in a temperature downtrend since 1934.

Where’s the “hotter and hotter” climate emergency in North America? Answer: It doesn’t exist.

Can someone educate me on this point – it hasn’t exactly been a low temperature La Nina (which I follow in the sidebar on a daily basis). In fact it’s been just outside the actual La Nina definition for a while now. What gives?

Maybe John Kerry, the Climate Czar who makes Albert Gore look like Albert Einstein, can tell us lesser beings that experts say that global warming is well known to cause global cooling.

The ENSO signals take a few months to affect the UAH data. While it’s “lower tropospheric,” It takes a while for La Nina/El Nino to reach the 15,000 foot or so level.

What definition for La Nina are you using? This, from https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/how-will-we-know-when-el-ni%C3%B1o-has-arrived may not be quite right.

We will declare the onset of El Niño conditions (not yet a full-blown El Niño event) when three criteria are met:

Departures in the Niño-3.4 index equal to or exceeding +0.5C for a single month. 

The tropical Pacific atmosphere should be consistent with El Niño. In particular, rainfall should be enhanced near the Date Line and suppressed near Indonesia, and the surface winds across parts of the equatorial Pacific should be anomalously westerly. 

A forecast that the ONI will equal or exceed +0.5C for several seasons in a row.

My recollection is that El Nino requires three consecutive months of the temperature anomaly of the previous three months being >= 0.5 C° (or <= 0.5 C°) the expected anomaly.

The ENSO meter data comes from http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/nino_3.4.txt , here’s their cold period, lotsa sub -0.5 C° anomalies:

I’m not the one claiming these pauses make any sense. If you start a trend line just before a big EL NINO (sic), you will get a trend line that is a) flat, and b) higher than the preceding trend line. It’s all just a statistical slight of hand. It makes no sense to think the world spontaneously got 0.25°C warmer on May 1st 2015, it’s just the consequence of cherry-picking a start date that will give you the longest flat line you can find.

Thanks for answering my question with your usual level calm and helpful manor.

You still seem to be lacking any evidence that globally the 70s were colder than the 20s.

The first graph seems to be devoted to a few Scandinavian stations, with no attempt to average them. It’s not easy to see in the multicolored spaghetti what the overall temperature was in the 70s.

The second graph specifically says it’s only looking at stations “sheltered and protected against ocean air influences”, and there’s no indication of how these 433 selected stations have been averaged.

Finally you have a newspaper clipping from 1976, which tells us nothing about how the 70s compared with the 20s, and I wouldn’t assume any global temperature reconstruction from the 70s would be as accurate as they are today.

Finally, I’d be careful about using the D word. Personally it doesn’t bother me, but many here claim it’s the most offensive thing you can call someone and anyone who uses it has already lost the argument.

Once again, you seem to think that a crude graph produced in the mid-seventies of Northern Hemisphere temperatures, means the 70s must have been warmer than the 20s. This is tricky given that they don’t know what the temperature will be in the second half of the decade.

I’m not sure what part of climate history you imagine I’m denying. The graph you produced is real and is part of the history, I just tend to reject the accuracy of temperature reconstructions made in the 70s in favor of multiple more advanced reconstructions.

Does that mean I assume the modern data sets are infallible and that we can know for certain that the 1970s were warmer than the 1920s? No, and if better reconstructions come along suggesting the 20s were warmer I’ll happily accept them.

But you’re making a definitive statement that the 70s were absolutely the coldest decade in the last 100 years, which requires you to accept on trust a crude graph cobbled together from two separate sources as if it were infallible. The science was settled at that point and any contrary evidence is blasphemy. That’s not how science works. Science is constantly changing and old data gets rejected when newer and better data comes along. If that makes me a history denier, than so be it.

I think you missed the joke behind “no longer above normal. It’s now below average.”

It’s a bit forced in this case, it works better for particular temperatures – e.g. a max temperature on some day can be both normal and above average – normal implies a range of temperatures, average specifies a particular number.

It’s very rare to have a day with both low and high temperatures matching the average.

I dare you to explain how an average change of a few tenths of a degree over the course of decades is a threat to anyone, anything, anytime???
It is undetectable by living organisms, well within the bounds of normal climate fluctuations, and most likely within the margin of error.
We have no clear evidence whether it is mostly natural, mostly man-made, or evenly divided. Or even just noise in the systems we are using to try to tease out a signal.
Why does that require us to do anything to prevent more of the same in the future?
Our output of CO2 increased dramatically after the 50’s. If this conjecture held water we would see much less warming before that, and much more warming after that. But all we have seen is a more or less consistant warming since the early 1800’s.
That is the problem. There is no problem, and many people are making their living on a non-problem. And a lot of money and resources have gone into propping up an agenda that is interesting, but not threatening.

If the data; 1981-1990 is legitimate the proper baseline should be to adjust the 30-year averaging period to a 40 year record 1981-2020.

Editor
Reply to  Rob_Dawg
May 2, 2021 7:57 pm

The averaging period can be discussed endlessly. I believe 30 years was chosen because that was the size ledger paper people had on hand.

You don’t want it very long, because then short, cyclic functions get squashed (actually, they should be squashed). You don’t want it short because the signal becomes noisy. The 30 year period is already problematic as it is one half the PDO and AMO periods, and that can lead to selecting periods with positive one or the other and people will get excited about the apparent warming.

I disagree we should start extending the 30 year period unless we adjust all past records too.

Reply to  Ric Werme
May 3, 2021 4:12 am

It would seem to me that the period should span the average length of every known oscillation. I mean how can we say that there has been a significant change in the climate when the AMO does not have a cycle in the given time span?

And I believe 30 years was picked specifically because at the time it fit right in with the start of the satellite record and conveniently the late 70s were a relatively cold time to start there by serving well as a start point to to show warming.

May 3, 2021 5:00 am

I could argue for two cycles, and we really should used the least common multiple to get periods that truly repeat. Of course, there are long periods than the apparent 60 year AMO and PDO cycles, with solar cycles of 88, 200, and 2,400 years identified.

Of course, to observe something like anthropogenic warming where population and per capita energy use are not cyclic (yet!?), I argue we need multiple periods of observation.

What would you expect from anomalies wrt the monthly means of 1981-2020 to be really so different from anomalies obtained wrt those of 1981-2010 or 1991-2020? The difference hardly could be visible.

Anyway, all this data has ONLY ONE SOURCE: the absolute data out of which any set of anomalies can be constructed (prior to 2013 or so, the baseline was 1979-1998).

Here is that absolute data, reconstructed back out of UAH’s LT anomalies and climatology:

Sorry, but… I didn’t misrepresent anything. What you see is ORIGINAL UAH6.0 LT data.

You are here the problem, because you very probably never had a look at UAH’s absolute data.

No wonder: not only Roy Spencer only shows anomalies. Absolute temperatures are mostly useless.

Please have a look near the left axis of the graph, so you’ll better understand what the plot means; and then click on the directory link.

This is UAH’s 2.5 degree grid data for LT; you find similar files in all atmospheric layers (LT, MT, TP ans LS) they continuously observe.

You see strange files named ‘tltmonamg.1978_6.0’ till ‘tltmonamg.2021_6.0’ (monthly anomalies), and a file named ‘tltmonacg_6.0’ (the baseline average for each cell in each month).

Out of that data, you can then reconstruct absolute values for each layer.

This has been described (in a much less technical form) by Roy Spencer in a thread:

http://www.drroyspencer.com/2016/03/uah-v6-lt-global-temperatures-with-annual-cycle/

There you see a graph quite similar to the one I posted above.

Unluckily I posted a graph with data going only to Dec 2020, what lets some rather aggressive people think I would intentionally hide the cooling in 2021.

I have NO interest in hiding any cooling or warming wherever.

I’ll post the correction including April when Roy Spencer publishes the grid update.

The reason for the significant temperature drop is in the shortwave radiation anomaly change. Since October 2010, the temperature has dropped from 0.4 °C in October to 0.15 °C in December, to 0.12 °C in January, to -0.01 °C in March, and to -0.05 °C in April. This is in line with the SW radiation changes. The latest CERES values are from February 2021. The text and figures illustrating these changes can be found in my own blog story: https://www.climatexam.com/single-post/global-temperature-of-april-2021-dropped-below-the-pause-level-of-the-early-2000s.

Skeptical/contrarian scientists have now a very strong argument against human induces climate change. During the period from January 1997 to December 2020, the emissions of carbon dioxide were 205 gigatons carbon (GtC) being 44% of the total emissions of 462 GtC after 1750, but the greenhouse (GH) gases were not able to increase the temperature.

Hi Antero,

please dont shoot a critic..
Where does the data form the 2nd figure 2 (the real figure 2?) come from?
While I understand that these are selected years, it seems that the all end in December at roughly 243 W per m, but start at 246 in January, a very suspicious jump!

But I like the fact that you are trying to answer my question, what is the effect behind these sharp changes of temperature.

Another observation from the first figure 2:
You show temperature and ENSO, but the peaks in the curves show different widths.
I think it is unlikely, that these sharp temperature peaks are caused directly by the braoder ENSO peaks, there is a correlation between them, but the data looks more like there might be a common reason behind both effects.

Cheers,

And May is starting out pretty cool for most of the US. The lore here in central Indiana is don’t plant before Mothers day (May 9th) but we’ll be holding off on our planting longer than that. Forecast for the next 10 days is for it to be colder and wetter than average here, and the same for almost all of the central and eastern US. People in higher elevations in the east even down to WV will have a good chance of seeing some snow!

Friday we had a frost. Low of 33 deg. F. Nipped the tulips and blossoms on the Dogwoods. Apple trees haven’t bloomed yet but I guess we’ll wait and see.

Garden is tilled and ready. Just waiting on Mother Nature to give the go ahead.

On the bright side, the cold has put a damper on the tornado season. Though Mississippi got hit pretty badly last night, over all, April saw historically low tornadic activity and we are running well below average this year so far.

But despite the lack of thunderstorms up here in Indiana it has been the windiest spring I can remember here. So windy that I haven’t been able to burn off the 6 foot high pile of dead fall and trimmings I’ve had in my 8 foot diameter fire ring since cleaning up after that heavy wet snow we had week before last that practically destroyed my largest willow tree and brought down some other pretty good sized branches from a couple other trees on my acre.

I appreciate all the hard work that goes into to creating this data. However, the use of an arbitrary 30 year period to create “anomalies” just makes no sense to me. Why not just de-seasonalize the data by taking appropriate differences (12th difference for monthly, 365th for daily, etc) This is one of the first things you learn in Time Series Analysis. Yes, you lose a year of data on the front end, but you don’t ever have to switch normalizing periods. Stationary is really what people want to know about temperatures. I’m not sure why unit root tests aren’t the right way to go to address this issue. THe ad hoc way data is handled in climate science doesn’t inspire much faith.

Every statistician would tell you that building departures from a mean leads to biases when based on first difference techniques. I personally can’t say anything about that.

Moreover, you need common reference periods when comparing different data, beginning with temperatures measured in the lower troposphere to be compared with those at the surface, or with those in the lower stratosphere.

Before wondering about the oxymoronic idea that a global temperature average makes any sort of sense.

Since the UAH change from month to month often mirrors the HadSST3 change with a 5-6 month lag, we can expect a high likelihood of additional cooling in May and June. After June we should see a moderation until the next ENSO change occurs. As we can see the SSTs have already started to warm a bit.

Most ENSO predictions at this time of year have poor track records. We should know more in a month. If we do fall back into La Nina conditions over the last half of the year, then the Lord Monckton pause will start to get very long. A 10 year pause by the summer of 2022 is a possibility.

Keep in mind that we will not see substantial cooling unless the oceans start to cool. I don’t see that happening soon.

If I were you, I’d quickly go to KNMI, generate the same stuff with RCP4.5 for the Globe as a whole, and compare again.

Because if even a McKittrick manages to have a rather different picture when comparing models with HadCRUT4

then there might well be something slightly wrong in John Christy’s graph.

Thanks for the link.

If I were you, I’d quickly go out and notice the difference between Hadcrut4 data (McKittrick’s graphic) and the satellite and balloon data (Christy’s graphic) as a whole, and compare again.

Thanks for the hint, but… the difference between UAH and HadCRUT visible here among other series

can by no means explain the difference between Christy’s and McKittrick’s graphs.

Funny that GISS on the web shows up the GISS lies.

Shows several years after 1998 El Nino peak as being warmer than 1998, not in UAH.

…..and a 0.4 – 0.5 C increase from the 1998 El Nino peak to the 2015 peak when UAH shows only 0.08C difference.

And of course , there are the MASSIVE CHANGES to GISS, always cooling the past to increase the trend

Your warmista scummer mates in action. !!

Why are you so aggressive all the time?

Why do you show always one side of the medal?

Did you never observe how bigger the changes between UAH5.6 and UAH 6.0 have been in 2015, in comparison with the ‘huuuuge‘ GISS adjustments?

Why can’t you accept the little ‘warming’ changes made to GISS?

I have NO PROBLEM to accept the big ‘cooling’ changes made to UAH!

The rabid alarmista want to compare a non-data fabrication (HadCrud) that has been specifically adjusted to show un-real warming to match the farcical climate models.

And is probably so self-unaware, that he doesn’t notice what sort of clown act that is.

you misread the graph, Bindidon, it’s quite definitely not a global temperature

tropical mid-tropo

the temperatures most sensitive to CO2 forcing

culprit could be Willard’s emergent tropical thunderstorms, but at this point who knows really

Correct, my bad.

When I have some more idle time, I’ll try to generate CMIP tropics data in KNMI, and compare that with UAH6.0 and the RATPAC-B Tropics subset.

Thanks for the hint on my mistake.

What about the effects the effects of the jet stream producing the colder temperatures this year in the northern hemisphere? When I look at a jet stream map today(Monday) of Edmonton, Calgary and points south it shows that the bulk of the jet stream is south of these locations therefore pulling down the colder northern air. Same for the UK.

I am a glad nature is proving the alarmists wrong but the implications of a significant cooling trend are negative for humanity.

No discernible trend would be just fine by me.

No, the cycles have a statement to make here.
