Daily mail satellite data global warming1/14/2024 ![]() "I think it will be increasingly difficult for them to claim that the satellite data show now warming, although it may be possible to say that it shows 'no significant warming. "I don't know what Cruz, et al., will do now," Dessler said in an email. In fact, Christy used his measurements to determine that February 2016 was 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit above the average for the month-the largest such disparity for any month since records were first kept, in 1979.Īs far as what this means for people claiming no warming, scientists don't expect them to change. But that should change with a warm 2016, Christy said. But if 1998 is included in the data, it sees no warming. The other major satellite temperature data set, run by University of Alabama Hunstville professor John Christy, shows slight warming after 1998. The study refutes the idea of a pause in global warming, "but frankly common sense and looking at how Earth was responding over the past 18 years kind of makes this finding a 'duh' moment," wrote University of Georgia meteorology professor Marshall Shepherd.Ĭhip Knappenberger of the Cato Institute, who doesn't doubt that human-caused climate change is happening but does not agree with mainstream scientists who say the problem is enormous, said this shows "how messy the procedures are in putting the satellite data together." NASA chief climate scientist Gavin Schmidt and Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M, said experts and studies had shown these problems that Mears adjusted and they both said those adjustments make sense and are well supported in a study in the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate. If the differences hadn't been there, I wouldn't have done the upgrade." Mears said he was "motivated by fixing these differences between the satellites. Three satellites had thrusters and they stayed in the proper orbit so they provided guidance for adjustments. Some satellites had drift that made temperatures warmer, others cooler. Some of the satellites drift a bit, which changes their afternoon and evening measurements ever so slightly. The satellites are in a polar orbit, so they are supposed to go over the same place at about the same time as they circle from north to south pole. The change resulted from an adjustment Mears made to fix a nagging discrepancy in the data from 15 satellites. "There are people that like to claim there was no warming they really can't claim that anymore," said Carl Mears, the scientist who runs the Remote Sensing System temperature data tracking. May 2021 was also the 45th consecutive May and the 437th consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century average. This value tied with 2018 as the sixth warmest May in the 142-year record. Ground temperature measurements, which many scientists call more accurate, all show warming in the past 18 years. The May 2021 global surface temperature was 0.81☌ (1.46☏) above the 20th century average of 14.8☌ (58.6☏). Ted Cruz, now shows a slight warming of about 0.18 degrees Fahrenheit since 1998. The Earthdata website provides comprehensive information about NASA’s Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) program, and EOSDIS data, information, services and tools.The Remote Sensing System temperature data, promoted by many who reject mainstream climate science and especially most recently by Sen. New and ongoing NASA missions will add significant amounts of Earth science data into EOSDIS each year that will continue to be available for free – providing an invaluable resource for scientific discovery. ![]() EOSDIS supports NASA’s Earth science program by processing, storing and distributing these data to a global user community for interdisciplinary use. ![]() These data come from the International Space Station, satellites, airborne campaigns, field campaigns, in situ instruments and model outputs. The thousands of unique data products in the EOSDIS collection advance our understanding of Earth’s interrelated systems. Getting Started with NASA Earth Science Data Resourcesįor more than 30 years, NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) has provided free and open long-term measurements of our dynamic planet.
