'The 0.1 K (13-month mean) global solar cycle increase with modest warming at high latitudes (Figure 3) differs markedly from the 0.2 K solar cycle global increase dominated by significant high latitude warming that Camp and Tung [2007] derived by differencing solar cycle maximum and minimum epochs in the NCEP data. Their larger estimates of the solar cycle amplitude may be erroneous because of uncorrected volcanic cooling.'
How natural and anthropogenic influences alter global and regional surface temperatures: 1889 to 2006 Judith L. Lean1 and David H. Rind2 GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 35, L18701, doi: 10.1029/2008GL034864, 2008 The perils of not including enough factors in the analysis. Something that Lean herself may be doing. The change in anthropogenic modulated energy flux between 1985 and 2000 was about 0.6 W/m2. Yet the change in net TOA radiation fluxes was about 1.8 W/m2 - see http://isccp.giss.nasa.gov/projects/browse_fc.html - caused by changes in cloud cover. Not sure what that means yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
