Icosahedral Binning

Posted on December 5, 2017 by Clive Best

The earth is roughly a sphere so an unbiased method to bin surface temperature data is to treat the surface itself in 3D. Ideally each bin should cover exactly the same surface area, so that the global average is simply … Continue reading →

Temp anomaly for October = 0.69C

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Clive Best

I have combined GHCN V3 data with HadSST3 to calculate the  temperature anomaly using the same timebase as HADCRUT4, using my Spherical Triangulation algorithm. The resulting global average value is 0.69C. The spatial temperature distribution is shown below. The global … Continue reading →

April H4.5-ST = 0.80C

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Clive Best

The average anomaly for April 2017 of HADCRUT4.5  using Spherical Triangulation (ST) is 0.80C. This is 0.06C higher than the standard 5 degree gridded result (0.74C). It is the years which have high Arctic anomalies which differ the most. Here … Continue reading →
