Introduction What is a range of uncertainty? Evaluating the temperature of the entire planet has an inherent level of uncertainty. Because of this, NCEI provides values that describe the range of this uncertainty, or simply "range", of each month's, season's or year's global temperature anomaly. These values are provided as plus/minus values. For example, a month's temperature anomaly may be reported as "0.54°C above the 20th Century average, plus or minus 0.08°C." This may be written in shorthand as "+0.54°C +/- 0.08°C." Scientists, statisticians and mathematicians have several terms for this concept, such as "precision", "margin of error" or "confidence interval". I am reading make it up. |

I wrote a long winded post and was not logged in and lost it so the short version is It is very difficult to measure everywhere at once accurately enough to make predictions and assessments.If you read between the lines on all the government publications it is admitted that they are not conclusive about the method of collecting the data.There is a lot of pressure to show something but showing a cooling is not going to work.Too many embarassed people however eventually time will show it was all alarmism.The sea claim was all based on a 2.3 mm rise in Hong Kong harbour that had no reason so it was fed in to the computer as it was going to happen every year everywhere for ever.It was a probably a Pacific Rim Kaiju for all we know.Polar bears are going great.Again the ice form up was late 3 days and melted 3 days earlier 10 or so years ago so it was fed in the computer that it was going to get 3 days later for ever till in 2030 it would never freeze at all and the bears would die.It froze over earlier this year than in 1980 please explain? |

GasGuzzler wrote: That's correct. Solar radiation passes through the transparent troposphere with no effect and strikes the planetary surface causing it to warm. Heat energy then transfers from the incompressible surface into the compressed medium of the atmosphere at its base. Please note if its pressure were less the atmosphere would be bigger and the heat energy per unit volume would be less accordingly and therefore the temperature lower, but it is not - so it's higher. So there is pressure-based thermal enhancement in proportion to the degree of the pressure. This enhancement of temperature causes heat energy to transfer back to the surface thus warming it further and raising the IR emission level to acheive the revised equilibrium temperature that we experience. It is a flow system whereby incoming heat energy is continually enhanced by its passage through the compressed medium of the Atmosphere maintaining the ATE |

It's really not that fascinating at the end of the day. They are simply trying to waste your time. Gravity is not compressing anything. What does "compressing" mean?

The degree to which a gas is pre-compressed will have not influence on the temperature it will reach via conduction (let's just use conduction here to keep it simple). If I have two sealed gas cylinders that are at room temperature and I place them both into a bath tub full of water that is 50C. Both cylinders will in time reach 50C as well. If one gas cylinder contains gas at twice the pressure of the other, it has no influence at all on their both being just 50C in equilibrium with the water they are in. Remember that the gas is under pressure due to gravity but it is NOT being "compressed" by gravity in the the sense that any work is being done. NO WORK IS BEING DONE BY GRAVITY. None at all. Pete Rogers wrote:If the atmosphere were under lower pressure ... it would still contain the same heat energy - having the same mass - but that heat energy would be spread between ...so the temperature would be lowerSo the "thermal energy" (let's use that instead of heat energy) determines temperature. Let's say the amount of thermal energy and the mass are constant: PV=nRT P, pressure, and V, volume can change, but n, the mass, R, ideal gas constant, cannot change. So what happens if pressure drops as volume increases? Lets put numbers in: PV=nRT P*V=n*R*T P=10 V=10 n=1 R=1 10*10=1*1*T 100=T So now let's cut the pressure in half and double the volume P=5 V=20 n=1 R=1 10*10=1*1*T 100=T https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/gases-and-kinetic-molecular-theory/ideal-gas-laws/v/ideal-gas-equation-pv-nrt This is because Temperature is the thermal energy per mass, not per volume. I think you're visualizing the difficulty of the spread out molecules to conduct their thermal energy to a thermometer. I don't understand that and it seems weird to me too. An explanation would be appreciated. My understanding is the gravity plays a roll in crating a very uneven distribution of temperature, hot at ground level, colder up high. I'm not really following what you mean by "negative work". Pete Rogers wrote:Venus is 90 times that of Earth due to its 96% CO2 content. Using the Molar Mass Version of the Ideal Gas Law this pressure exactly predicts the enhanced surface temperature of 900K.Again this doesn't sound right as with the gas canister example up top of the post. My understanding is that there is an altitude high in the Venutian atmosphere that is the actual emitting surface of Venus. It's emission matches what the Sun gives Venus. If you plug that temperature at that pressure high in the atmosphere, into the ideal gas equation, it may give you high temp at ground level. Similarly the Sun has whatever energy it has first, due to fusion. The distribution of that energy and the resulting temperature comes after that generation of energy. The Sun's emitting surface is cooler and at a lower pressure.

Averages, are a math function, not measurement. Most of the time, averages, are pretty meaningless, and don't represent reality very accurately. They can be useful, for some purposes, but most of the time they are misused, usually for deceptive purposes. Averages don't take anything into consideration, a few extreme numbers, can really bias the results. The unusually high or low numbers, might not be all that common, a fluke, a bad measurement, or intentionally thrown in there. Other than a consensus, to ignore computational, and conceptual errors, there is really nothing to support global anything. |

How come the average IQ of Norwegians, is expressed in double-digits? Since you are barely half Norwegian, does that number get divided in half? Averages have absolutely nothing to do with measurement. You can calculate the average of data set, entirely randomly generated. You could roll dice 10 times, and average the results. Doesn't mean you will roll a 3.46 on any of your next 10 rolls of the same dice. You can take the average of 10 dice rolls as many times as you like, but you will rarely get the same number, unless you use Kentucky loaded dice. I took enough mathemagic classes in my younger years, to understand the uses, and limitations. Like any tool, math can be misused, or used poorly. |
