The satellite record in question is called AIRS, and raises questions about the accuracy of Roy Spencer's UAH record. But I thought I had seen that UAH did incorporate some Aqua 2 (the satellite) information? Could be wrong about that, and no time to check. Spencer will no doubt be weighing in with some criticisms soon.A high-profile NASA temperature data set, which has pronounced the last five years the hottest on record and the globe a full degree Celsius warmer than in the late 1800s, has found new backing from independent satellite records — suggesting the findings are on a sound footing, scientists reported Tuesday.If anything, the researchers found, the pace of climate change could be somewhat more severe than previously acknowledged, at least in the fastest warming part of the world — its highest latitudes.“We may actually have been underestimating how much warmer [the Arctic’s] been getting,” said Gavin Schmidt, who directs NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which keeps the temperature data, and who was a co-author of the new study released in Environmental Research Letters.

Satellite temperatures in the news
As explained in the Washington Post:
"A high-profile NASA temperature data set, which has pronounced the last five years the hottest on record and the globe a full degree Celsius warmer than in the late 1800s, has found new backing from independent satellite records — suggesting the findings are on a sound footing, scientists reported Tuesday."
ReplyDeleteCompletely ridiculous. They didn't have a satellite record in the 1800's. So its mixing apples and oranges. Last I looked the fraudsters were bringing in oceanic temperatures to bounce up their numbers. Try and get honest data doofus. This is a feature of the global warming fraud. They cut and paste one different data set onto another to try and tell you a story. Any unrigged data you find is going to show you that the 30's is the hottest decade.
