Record Cold In Southwest Greenland Continues

Southwest Greenland is having their coldest year on record – even colder than the years after the eruptions of El Chichon and Mt. Pinatubo.

This is due to very cold water in the North Atlantic

    Record Ice is not only in Greenland… even in the dead heart desert areas of Australia there is some by chance: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-14/winter-wonderland-in-the-red-centre-as-hail-transforms-desert/6544518

    This amount of ice is unusual at this time of year… interesting to see what Winter brings in OZ.

      This rapid decline in AMO (with a decrease in solar activity) bodes ill for the winter for Europe and the eastern US.

        Thank you, ren, for returning attention to the fountain of energy at the core of the solar system that religious fanatics have tried to hide from the public since first reported by Copernicus in 1543.

    I would like to learn more about these anomalies and why they happen. Another one was the one from 1918, known as the Heating from Spitsbergen, which is explained here: https://rclutz.wordpress.com/2015/06/08/spitsbergen-triangle-ground-zero-for-climate-mysteries/

  4. Caleb says:

    The AMO shifting to a “cold” phase is something we haven’t been able to witness in the modern age of satellites and buoys, as it last did so before we had such gadgets. We should expect some surprises. One thing I imagine we will see is icebergs able to penetrate further south, simply because the water is colder.

    Icebergs confuse the situation, by refusing to sink despite being cold. A lot of the cold water coming down from the arctic sinks from sight (unless it is close to shore over more shallow water) and therefore cannot effect air temperatures. There are fairly well understood down-welling zones, but when a bunch of icebergs arrives they don’t sink at the down-welling zone. They continue on their merry way, utterly screwing up all my careful calculations.

    If the area of ice is very large, it can so chill the north Atlantic that Europe is effected, Our host posted on one such event here: https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/07/09/1816-shock-news-18000-square-miles-of-ice-broke-away-from-greenland/

    There is currently a weakening storm up in Barents Sea which has shoved some ice south through Fram Strait. Surely some of our Alarmist friends are hoping this export of ice means we are in for a summer like 2007, when so much ice was exported we achieved our second-lowest minimum extent. However back then the AMO was warm, and now it is cold. The ice likely will linger longer and contribute to the cold AMO, and may even counter the warming of the atmosphere expected to come from the current El Nino. It will be interesting to watch, but at the very least it looks like things will stay cold in Greenland.

      What is interesting AMO is not directly related to solar cycles, but you can see the relationship with the cycle of the polar vortex (exactly 60 years).
      “Our previous study showed that the response of tropospheric pressure to variations of solar activity (SA) and galactic cosmic ray (GCR) fluxes reveals a regional structure determined by the positions of the main climatic atmospheric fronts, as well as it strongly depends on the epochs of the large-scale circulation [Veretenenko and Ogurtsov, 2012]. In the epochs of increasing intensity of the meridional circulation (the form C according to Vangengeim-Girs classification [Vangengeim, 1952; Girs, 1974]) an increase of GCR
      fluxes at minima of the 11-year cycle is accompanied by an intensification both of extratropical cyclones at Polar fronts of middle latitudes and Arctic anticyclones at high latitudes of the Northern hemisphere, as well as by a weakening of the equatorial trough at low latitudes. In the epochs of decreasing meridional circulation the troposphere response to SA/GCR variations reveals a similar regional structure, i.e., the
      regions of most pronounced effects are closely related to the climatic atmospheric fronts, but the sign of SA/GCR effects in these regions is opposite.
      It was also detected [Veretenenko and Ogurtsov, 2012] that the evolution of the meridional circulation is characterized by a roughly 60-year periodicity which, in turn, influences the sign of SA/GCR effects on troposphere pressure. Indeed, the reversals of the correlations between sea-level pressure at high latitudes and sunspot numbers occurred in the 1890s, the early 1920s, 1950s and the early 1980s and coincided well
      with the changes in the evolution of the C-type meridional circulation. Hence, the aim of this work is to study what processes may influence the evolution of the large-scale circulation and, then, the character of SA/GCR effects on troposphere pressure.”

    • AndyG55 says:

      The house the stock for most of the year., and import most of the food for that stock from Denmark. Vikings actually GREW their stock food there, before the LIA hit.

      We are still only a tiny molehill out of that LIA, only just above the COLDEST period in the whole of the current Holocene interglacial.

    • Elaine Supkis says:

      Perhaps several years ago…no farming going on today. Ground is still very much frozen.

    • Stewart Pid says:

      cfgj …. twit – u go there and plant some bananas and then get back to us about how it goes …. the stupidity of some is mind boggling.

      • Gail Combs says:

        cfgj is a typical city type. Even after the snow finishes melting you have to wait until the ground warms up to around 50°F for many crops like corn. Other wise the seed just rots in the ground.

        One old farmer who never lost a crop, was asked how he knew when it was time to plant. He told the questioner that he waited until the kids fishing on the river sat instead of stood to fish. Then he knew the ground was warm enough for the seed to sprout quickly and not rot.

        On the other end is the first day of frost. If there are too few days between the ground being warm enough to plant and the first frost then the crop will not ripen. Even something as simple as hay needs enough days to grow to mowing height and enough warm days to cure. I am in the sunny south and we FINALLY got our first cutting of hay in. The corn is still only ankle high.

    • Dave1billion says:

      Every time I used to mention “There was a reason they called it “Greenland, not Iceland” AGW people pointed out that calling it “Greenland” was a PR stunt.

      Now we have someone using PR propaganda from basically the Greenland Chamber of Commerce (BE A PIONEER!!) as evidence insinuating that bananas grow on the balmy coast. And calling the other side’s arguments propaganda.

      You just can’t make stuff like this up. Well … I guess they can.

    The first two absorption bands of CO 2 is approx. 2?m and 2,8?m (Figure 2). This radiation emitted by the sun. The earth does not emit waves in this regard. Absorbing agents reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface in these bands, which play a role similar to ozone and ultraviolet absorber protects the Earth from an excess of these emissions. The amount of energy that can absorb CO2 in these areas can be estimated at around 4% of the total capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.
    Another extent of absorption of CO 2 is 4 – 4,5?m. The earth emits a minimal amount of radiation. These are the waves on the border of frequency emitted by the planet’s surface. Partly scope of this goes beyond earthly emissions. The graphs depicting the amount of radiation emitted by the Earth, we see an almost horizontal line by selecting the emission of energy at this wavelength. In this range, carbon dioxide absorbs about 8% of the total amount of infrared which is able to absorb. Due to the fact that the absorption in this band is only a fraction of CO 2 absorption capacity, and also extremely small is the same infrared source at this frequency can not be considered the significance of the absorption climate because it is the interaction too slim and perhaps trace.
    Fourth clearly indicated on said graph (Figure 2), an absorption band, the scope of the biggest infrared absorption by carbon dioxide. It includes a wavelength of about 14?m to 18?m, so it is very large, and in addition to a large amount of radiation – in this field is absorbed approx. 88% of the total absorbed by CO 2 radiation. Infrared absorption peak for CO 2 falls to about 15?m, as shown in the following figure (Figure 3). It is in this fairly large absorption band environmentalists see their greatest source of influence on the climate. It does not surprise me, personally, because they have to search some data to confirm their theories. It seems that this is the proof – a large band of infrared absorption, but again this is proof perverse. What matters is because no amount of radiation, but its quality, that is the real power of influence. We are dealing here with radiation of high wavelength, and the greater the wavelength the less energy. By means of such radiation will not change in any significant way temperature, and partly because these wavelengths are not applicable in heating. There frequencies used bordering with visible light (from 0,78?m) and slightly larger wavelength, but those larger than 10?m did not play a role here (although they are present there, because the filaments of infrared radiators emit large range of wavelengths). Devoted by the atmosphere part of such radiation is certainly not lead to a significant increase in the Earth’s surface temperature and will not increase the average temperature of the atmosphere.
    Known, perverse slogan of environmentalists is the identification of these wavelengths from the microwave and creating associations with microwave, which is a complete mistake, calculated on the ignorance of readers. The difference between microwaves and infrared is in fact fundamental. Microwaves, is composed of electron radiation, and infrared light particles or photons – particles of very different energy. Their frequency of overlap, as is the case with many other types of radiation, but their essence is fundamentally different.

    • Brian H says:

      “The amount of energy that can absorb CO2 in these areas can be estimated at around 4% of the total capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.”

      Grammatical and scientific nonsense. Energy does not absorb any gases.

    According to measurement the seas are warming up without hiatus (ARGO) and consequently also rising, without a pause (satellite altimeter). This has created the need to deny these measurements and claim that they are “doctored”. The truth is you cannot handle the truth?

      Sea level budget over 2005–2013: missing contributions and data errors

      H. B. Dieng1, A. Cazenave1, K. von Schuckmann2, M. Ablain3, and B. Meyssignac1

      Abstract. Based on the sea level budget closure approach, this study investigates the residuals between observed global mean sea level (GMSL) and the sum of components (steric sea level and ocean mass) for the period January 2005 to December 2013. The objective is to identify the impact of errors in one or several components of the sea level budget on the residual time series. This is a key issue if we want to constrain missing contributions such as the contribution to sea level rise from the deep ocean (> 2000m). For that purpose, we use several data sets as processed by different groups: six altimetry products for the GMSL, four Argo products plus the ORAS4 ocean reanalysis for the steric sea level and three GRACE-based ocean mass products. We find that over the study time span, the observed trend differences in the residuals of the sea level budget can be as large as ~0.55mm yr?1. These trend differences essentially result from the processing of the altimetry data (e.g., choice the geophysical corrections and method of averaging the along-track altimetry data). At short time scale (from sub-seasonal to multi-annual), residual anomalies are significantly correlated with ocean mass and steric sea level anomalies (depending on the time span), indicating that the residual anomalies are related to errors in both GRACE-based ocean mass and Argo-based steric data. Efforts are needed to reduce these various sources of errors before using the sea level budget approach to estimate missing contributions such as the deep ocean heat content.

      You keep spouting garbage. Enough already.

      • cfgj says:

        What is your point? Nothing in that post implies that altimeters do nt detect a (rather stable) sea level rise.

          GRACE also does not measure sea levels, it measures gravity anomalies, and gravity changes over time and location.

      oh look.. even the fudged data shows ZERO acceleration.

      Therefore no extra warming signal from raised atmospheric CO2

      • cfgj says:

        There’s no pause either. The planet has been warming up all the time and the tools who are talking about a “hiatus” are BUSTED!

        • AndyG55 says:

          There was never a “hiatus”…. that was the word the modeller and climate alarmists used first.

          It was actually stationary plateau/turning point.

          The world is now in cooling mode.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Hate to tell you bud but the MET office (UK) finally admitted there was a pause so your lies do nothing but make you look like a lying propagandist or a brainless fool.

          Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released… and here is the chart to prove it
          Published: 16:42 EST, 13 October 2012 | Updated: 08:59 EST, 16 October 2012

          The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures
          This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996

          And straight from the MET OFFICE

          The recent pause in warming
          July 2013 – Global mean surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s, but have been relatively flat over the most recent 15 years to 2013….

          The Met Office Hadley Centre has written three reports that address the recent pause in global warming…

          Lots of spin of course as expected from those who must please their political masters, but they did admit there was a pause. Now however NASA/NOAA finds the pause to be inconvienent for Obama so it is down the memory hole we go, just like they did to the Global Cooling Scare in the 1970s.

          The rabid warmistas at “Thick as a Planck” have also admitted to the plateau. (although they call it a hiatus, as all warmistas do)

          They also say that…. “Atlantic will cool down by several tenths of a degree by 2020…”

          That’s an amazingly fast cooling rate, especially compared to the warming rate of 0.03C over a 20-30 year period that the child-mind is bleating about.

          I’m assuming that Planck is being their normal imprecise dolts that they are, and actually mean the surface temperature.

          “…..Furthermore, the low-frequency variability in the SPG relates to the propagation of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variations from the deep-water formation region to mid-latitudes in the North Atlantic, which might have the implications for recent global surface warming hiatus.”

          Recent global warming hiatus dominated by low latitude temperature trends in surface and troposphere data
          Over the last 15 years, global mean surface temperatures exhibit only weak trends…..Omission of successively larger polar regions from the global-mean temperature calculations, in both tropospheric and surface data sets, shows that data gaps at high latitudes can not explain the observed differences between the hiatus and the pre-hiatus period….

          Seasonal aspects of the recent pause in surface warming
          Factors involved in the recent pause in the rise of global mean temperatures are examined seasonally. For 1999 to 2012, the hiatus in surface warming is mainly evident in the central and eastern Pacific…….atmospheric circulation anomalies observed globally during the hiatus.

      Unfortunately, the temperature in the lower troposphere falling since 1998 and will fall further. El Niño is weakening, and AMO decline. This is proof that CO2 does not work, because the CO2 is in the troposphere.

      TEN PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES PROVING SEA LEVEL IS NOT RISING

      • cfgj says:

        The sea-level is rising at about 3mm/year globally. If you look at the graph I posted above the recent El Nino – related bulging is visible quite nicely. I’m looking forward to updates to the sea-level graphs.

        • AndyG55 says:

          The tide gauges say 1.2mm/year… (only the “adjusted” satellite record says 3mm/year.)

          It has been rising at approximately the same rate since the LIA. 1-2mm/year

          There is NO acceleration that would indicate any CO2 warming effect.

          Just think, in 100 years that will be 120mm .. scary hey, bozo !!!

          Do you really think mankind isn’t capable of coping with 120mm in 100 years.

          Oh.. If they were all as brain-dead as you.. probably they wouldn’t.

        • Gail Combs says:

          I can make any data and any graph show exactly what I want it to. It is done all the time. I was fired three times because I refused to ‘Adjust the Data’ on certificates of analysis. I had knock down drag out fights with others at corporate wide meetings where it was decided to use a ‘Generally Accepted Value’ based on an average, instead of a carefully measured value based on measurements made on equipment and reference material from the National Bureau of Standards. (The company had been using uncalibrated thermometers in all plants and research labs and an internal standard made from production material. This made the ‘Generally Accepted Value’ way off from the NBS reference material but they were not about to admit it.)

          The attacks on Willie Soon, Dr Salby and others show EXACTLY what will happen to a scientist who does not give the powerful the data they demand.

          Princeton University Physicist Dr. Will Happer is another much earlier example. Dr. Happer has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and was a former Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy from 1990 to 1993 but that did not keep Al Gore from firing him. “I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism. I did not need the job that badly, I was told that science was not going to intrude on policy.” So Willie Soon is by no means the the first honest scientist targeted by the government.

          (I had the honor of meeting Dr Happer and attending his lecture for Physics grad students.)

          Oh and here is the Sea Temperature Chart from the EPA showing the Haitus in ocean temperatures. I am actually rather suprised it has not been ‘adjusted’ yet.

          http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/images/indicator_figures/sea-surface-temp-figure1-2012.gif

          This from another scientist who has been attacked for refusing to spew propaganda and call it science.

          Now, back to satellite altimetry, which shows the water, not just the coasts, but in the whole of the ocean. And you measure it by satellite. From 1992 to 2002, [the graph of the sea level] was a straight line, variability along a straight line, but absolutely no trend whatsoever. We could see those spikes: a very rapid rise, but then in half a year, they fall back again. But absolutely no trend, and to have a sea-level rise, you need a trend. Then, in 2003, the same data set, which in their [IPCC’s] publications, in their website, was a straight line—suddenly it changed, and showed a very strong line of uplift, 2.3 mm per year, the same as from the tide gauge. And that didn’t look so nice. It looked as though they had recorded something; but they hadn’t recorded anything. It was the original one which they had suddenly twisted up, because they entered a “correction factor,” which they took from the tide gauge. So it was not a measured thing, but a figure introduced from outside. I accused them of this at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow— I said you have introduced factors from outside; it’s not a measurement. It looks like it is measured from the satellite, but you don’t say what really happened. And they answered, that we had to do it, because otherwise we would not have gotten any trend!

          Toss out the outlier at Santa Catarina in this already adjusted graph and you can see the sea level has fallen over the last thousand years in response to a COOLING CLIMATE.

          And the Santa Catarina outlier is a very very data point.

          Relative sea-level changes in the last 5500 years in southern Brazil žLaguna–Imbituba region, Santa Catarina State / based on vermetid 14C ages
          Rodolfo J. Anguloa,), Paulo C.F. Giannini b,1, Kenitiro Suguio Luiz C.R. Pessenda

          December 1998
          Abstract
          Twenty-six new radiocarbon dates from vermetid shells collected in the southernmost sector of the Brazilian rocky coast presented dates ranging from 5410 ” 80 to 190 ” 65 years B.P., with associated paleosea levels varying from +2.10 m to +0.20 m above present sea level. The overall suggested trend of the relative sea level ŽRSL., declining until at least 190 years B.P., is somewhat contradictory to a proposed RSL rise in the last 1000 years in southern Brazil. The data also seem to undermine a more widely accepted RSL trend that suggests that at least two negative RSL oscillations occurred between 4100 and 3800 years B.P. and between 3000 and 2700 years B.P. The maximum elevation of the RSL in the Holocene in southern Brazil was possibly lower than that observed in most of the Brazilian eastern coast. Discrepancies between ancient sea levels of similar ages are attributed to coincidental methodological problems, to imprecisions in determining past relative sea levels and to possible changes in the geomorphology and wave climate close to shore during the last 5000 years. A general trend of increasing d18 O with a reduction in age in the studied samples may suggest a gradual reduction of water temperature in the region during the same period.

          The next question is Brazil tectonically stable?

          The Brazilian Shield is tectonically stable. The last orogenic cycle to affect it occurred > 600 million years ago.

          Just think, at 3mm/year , in 100 years that little black line near the water on the right hand end of the runway, will still be there… EVEN if nobody does anything to combat the horrific level of continued natural sea level rise.

          Are you scared yet, child-mind ????

        • AndyG55 says:

          Since 2001, the satellite data gives a sea surface temperature trend of -0.027ºC/decade, and basically dead level since 2005

          NASA itself says there is no warming below 2000m

          How does zero warming on the surface and zero warming below 2000m manage to warm the ocean between the surface down to 2000m ?

          Come on, explain if you can.. (this should be hilarious 😉 )

          Awaiting a “magical” explanation. 🙂

        • AndyG55 says:

          Gail, the rock shelfs along the coast of Australia indicate that at some stage, the sea level was 1-2m higher than now. Similar to Brazil.

  11. cfgj says:

    SST is the temperature of the top millimeter or so, sunlight warms up waters much deeper than that. The current El Nino shows up nicely in altimetric products:

    • gator69 says:

      To arrive at their conclusion, the JPL scientists did a straightforward subtraction calculation, using data for 2005-2013 from the Argo buoys, NASA’s Jason-1 and Jason-2 satellites, and the agency’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites. From the total amount of sea level rise, they subtracted the amount of rise from the expansion in the upper ocean, and the amount of rise that came from added meltwater. The remainder represented the amount of sea level rise caused by warming in the deep ocean.
      The remainder was essentially zero. Deep ocean warming contributed virtually nothing to sea level rise during this period.

      http://www.nasa.gov/press/2014/october/nasa-study-finds-earth-s-ocean-abyss-has-not-warmed/#.VYFrqPlVikq

      No thermal expansion. Zero.

    • AndyG55 says:

      “sunlight warms up waters much deeper than that”

      Yes sunlight does.. 😉

      But not the mythical CO2 back radiation.

      Poor cfnt.. thanks for the laughs.

      • cfgj says:

        You mean the easily measurable backradiation is “mythical”? Go over to Roy Spencer’s site, he’s been trying to educate morans on this issue for a looong time.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Nice twist.

          CO2 back radiation can not penetrate past a few micrometers. It is the sun that rules the oceans and at 70% of the surface area and the major source of water vapor it is the oceans that rule the climate.

          http://www.klimaatfraude.info/images/sverdrup.gif

        • Gail Combs says:

          Here is where your CO2 radiates from actual measurements: (The black dotted line is the tropopause)

          http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/global_warming/images/stratospheric_cooling.jpg

          Paraphrasing Dr. Brown.:
          When CO2 near the earth’s surface absorbs back radiation, the lifetime of the excited state caused by the absorption of the photon is much longer than the mean free time between molecular collisions between the CO2 molecule and other molecules in the surrounding gas. That means that the radiative energy absorbed by the molecule is almost never resonantly re-emitted, it is transferred to the surrounding gas, warming not just the CO2 but the oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, argon as well as the other CO2 molecules around.

          In other words near the surface back radiation, aka a ‘resonantly re-emitted’ photon is a RARE EVENT.

          Dr Happer in his lecture agreed and further stated that the time to radiate is about ten times slower than the time to the next collision in the troposphere. Dr Happer in his lecture also answered my question about where CO2 energy is radiated instead of being handed off via collision. Experimental data shows barely any radiation at 11 KM and that radiating is in the stratosphere ~ 47 KM above the surface. This is shown in the above diagram from SUNY.

          Where the Climate alarmists missed the boat is in using equations for ‘line broadening’ aka the ‘wings’ where the current CO2 absorption ( at 400 ppm) is supposedly taking place. These equations produce results that do not match up to the experimental data. The lines are not as broad as theory would have it and this was the point of the lecture I went to for Physics grad students.

          This graph illustrates the ClimAstrologists view that is incorrect according to experimental data.

          http://www.realclimate.org/images/CO2Abs4x.jpg

          This is the physics background.
          The Pound–Rebka experiment (VERY IMPORTANT because gases are moving randomly and in random directions)

          …The test is based on the following principle: When an atom transits from an excited state to a base state, it emits a photon with a specific frequency and energy. When an atom of the same species in its base state encounters a photon with that same frequency and energy, it will absorb that photon and transit to the excited state. If the photon’s frequency and energy is different by even a little, the atom cannot absorb it (this is the basis of quantum theory). When the photon travels through a gravitational field, its frequency and therefore its energy will change due to the gravitational redshift. As a result, the receiving atom cannot absorb it. But if the emitting atom moves with just the right speed relative to the receiving atom the resulting doppler shift cancels out the gravitational shift and the receiving atom can absorb the photon….

          Also look at
          Mössbauer effect
          Motional narrowing
          and the Voigt profile.
