Thursday update: British HadCRUT4 receive got completed their 2016 data, too. The lastly column contains the annual averages. The deviation from GISS is significant. 2016 was entirely 0.013 °C (GISS: 0.13 °C!) warmer than 2015. Dec 2016 was 0.432 °C (GISS: 0.30 °C) cooler than Dec 2015. And 2016 was 0.237 °C (GISS: 0.36 °C) warmer than 1998, indicating but 1.3 °C (GISS: 2 °C, satellites: 0.11 °C) of warming per century!While Czech Republic is enjoying the best skiing flavor – when it comes to the snowfall conditions – inward years (Ore Mountains together with the Bohemian Forest ofttimes furnish skiers amongst upwards to 150 cm of snow) together with I've exploited this fact as well, The New York Times told us well-nigh a press conferences past times NOAA together with NASA today that finally announced the temperature data for 2016.
GISS temperature anomalies, 1880-2016, inward multiples of 0.01 °C
On Jan 3rd, I mentioned that both satellite-based teams quantifying the global hateful temperature (UAH AMSU, RSS AMSU) concluded that 2016 was 0.02 °C warmer than 1998. These were otherwise really similar "end of a potent El Niño years" separated past times xviii years. According to these numbers together with aught else, i could guess that the warming per century is some 0.11 °C, a negligible amount.
The GISS information derived from surface measurements (weather stations for the province together with another gadgets inward the ocean) ended upwards amongst a really dissimilar position out than 0.02 °C for the deviation betwixt the temperatures inward 2016 together with 1998.
The GISS temperature anomaly for 2016 was 0.99 °C, well-nigh 0.13 °C warmer than the anomaly inward 2015. It's a pregnant growth but the growth betwixt 1997 together with 1998 was larger still, 0.15 °C. According to GISS, the temperature inward 2016 was 0.36 °C warmer than inward 1998. You may run into that the ratio is almost just 0.02 °C per twelvemonth or 2 °C per century. This deduced tendency is almost xx times larger than that from the satellites but fifty-fifty if nosotros trusted the linear extrapolation, it would nevertheless live far from a tragedy if the temperature inward 2116 were 2 °C warmer than inward 2016.
While the El Niño twelvemonth 2016 was much warmer according to the terrestrial measurements, the post-El-Niño cooling seems rapid according to these measurements, too. As far as the temperature anomalies go, Dec 2016 amongst its 0.81 °C anomaly was a whopping 0.30 °C cooler than Dec 2015 together with a Burger King Double Whopper 0.54 °C anomaly-cooler than Feb 2016, the highest-anomaly calendar month on the GISS record.
The growing discrepancy betwixt the satellites together with the terrestrial measurements could live naively interpreted as bad word for scientific discipline – in that place has to live some large fault at to the lowest degree inward i cast of these measurements. But this determination isn't actually right. Their dissimilar stories well-nigh the global hateful temperature likely aren't due to a "mistake" but due to their dissimilar Definition of the global hateful temperature. The terrestrially measured temperature is increasing at this charge per unit of measurement but about 2 °C per century acre the charge per unit of measurement is less than 1.5 °C – and, according some proxies, fifty-fifty much smaller than that – according to the satellites. That's non a contradiction because they hateful dissimilar quantities past times the "global hateful temperature".
There is no "canonical" global hateful temperature. It's an artificial quantity whose detailed value – together with whose detailed alter inward xviii or 100 years – significantly depends on all the details well-nigh how the global hateful temperature is defined together with measured. I've mentioned that 2016 was 0.02 °C warmer than 1998 past times satellites but past times 0.36 °C warmer than 1998 according to the terrestrial measurements. You may pretty much tell that the deviation of the annual global hateful temperatures inward 2016 together with 1998 was 0.19 °C addition minus 0.17 °C. It's nevertheless pretty much compatible amongst the null at the one-sigma level.
In Czechia, non entirely prisoners had to live exploited to take the snow. In Jablonec, the famous "Stalin's hands" (a Soviet-made vehicle/elevator on the picture) had to live position to business, too.
Bonus
For your convenience, I computed together with copied-and-pasted the annual average temperatures betwixt 1880 together with 2016 (the figures –99 hateful "not yet known" but fifty-fifty James Hansen is almost certain than 2017 volition live cooler than 2016):\[

\] To gear upwards this \(\rm\TeX\)-MathJax output was unproblematic inward Mathematica. I marked the output table, right-clicked, together with chose "export as TeX". The numbers inward this tabular array are just those captured past times the graph at the top. The averages assumed that all 12 months are as long but believe me that the errors caused past times this inaccurate supposition are really small.
Just for fun. Microsoft's atomic number 82 mechanical engineer has patented a foldable telephone – 2x1 or 3x1 pieces. Here's an improvement: a 2x2 amongst 4 foldable pieces. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 fuzzy painting exhibit worth millions of dollars together with TRF readers tin receive got it for free. The quarters of the foldable phablet await similar 4-inch phones of thickness five mm, but this animate beingness of full thickness 2 cm may live expanded to an 8-inch sparse tablet-phone. The upper one-half of the vertical separating axis is cut, together with those parts may live stuck together amongst magnets. The lower work of the vertical separator is connected past times hinges close the display. The animate beingness may also live folded about the horizontal axis close the middle, amongst hinges on the dorsum side. When you lot pack your telephone into the 4-inch thick friend, the 2 upper quarters of the display seem on the external sides of the thick telephone together with may live used as displays of the 4-inch telephone on both sides.
