    For comparison here's AR5 WG1 "Continuing the trends reported in AR4, the annual Arctic sea ice extent decreased over the period 1979–2012. The rate of this decrease was very likely between 3.5 and 4.1% per decade (0.45 to 0.51 million km2 per decade)."

    I'm intrigued by the IPCC SROCC SPM conclusion A1.4: "Between 1979 and 2018, Arctic sea ice extent has very likely decreased for all months of the year." Does that mean that there's a non-zero chance that it has increased over that time frame in one month or more?

    The IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is out. It's available here: It's nice to have to hand when reading popular distillations and tweet thread summaries of the content.

    In an hour special report on + will hit the streets (so to speak); on Monday issued their five year summary. As it may have got a bit lost here is a brief (hopefully) thread of some of those "highlights" to set the context for

    If I have 24 temperature readings taken hourly (units °C) through the course of a single day and I take their mean to get a daily-average temperature, what units does the daily-average temperature have?

    Decadal average global mean temperature anomalies from HadCRUT4.6.0.0 relative to 1961-1990. Since the 1980s, each successive decade has been warmer than the last, with the 2010's the warmest on record.

    You can see that HadCRUT4 is on the cooler side. Two reasons: sea-surface temperature biases (since fixed in HadSST4) and the hole-at-the-pole.

    A similar plot also shows the decadal averages for GISTEMP, NOAAGlobalTemp and BerkeleyEarth.

    Note that the latest decade is still a few months short. The uncertainty range is slightly expanded to account for this.

    As a reminder, is having a climate change visualization contest (deadline Sept. 20). I'm planning to toss in a few of my favorite animations and would encourage other climate graphics people to do that same.
