Uncertainty estimates in regional and global observed temperature changes: A new data set from 1850

Abstract: [1] The historical surface temperature data set HadCRUT provides a record of surface temperature trends and variability since 1850. A new version of this data set, HadCRUT3, has been produced, benefiting from recent improvements to the sea surface temperature data set which forms its marine component, and from improvements to the station records which provide the land data. A comprehensive set of uncertainty estimates has been derived to accompany the data: Estimates of measurement and sampling error, temperat… Show more

“…The 2-m air temperatures are compared to the monthly average land station data from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (Brohan et al 2006). Figure 1 shows the station locations, the seasonalmean bias, and the anomaly correlations for each of the reanalysis models for which the monthly mean of each station and each model at the station location is first removed.…”

“…In 2009, on examining the available data sets and the description of the algorithm 35 , J.G.-C. identified a number of errors (the software he used to check the meteorological database is available upon request). One set of errors was procedural, and involved incorrect computation of historical average temperatures in a number of records in New Zealand and Australia.…”

“…For comparison the radiosonde datasets have been vertically averaged with weightings to create equivalent MSU retrieved bulk temperatures for T4 (stratosphere), T2 (troposphere), and T2LT (lower troposphere). For reference we also show the trend from the Hadley Centre Climatic Research Unit, version 3 (HadCRUT3), surface records (Brohan et al 2006), and theoretical expectation from an ensemble of climate models (Santer et al 2005). Figure 9 shows the spread of trend estimates from this ensemble of homogenizations for the tropical satellite era.…”
