The Blackboard

Roy Spencer posted two versions of the UAH temperature of the lower troposphere! According to version 5.3, the temperature of the lower troposphere was 0.63C; according to version 5.2, it was 0.74C. Despite the fact that I my bet of 0.64 would have been closer to correct using the splendid new version 5.3, we [...]

Time to bet on the UAH TTL anomaly for February, 2010. The winner is the one who come closes to guessing the global value Roy Spencer will post on at his blog, as he does every month.
Bets close as the clock rolls over to the first of March. Enter your bet below: [...]

Zeke recommended we bet on the Annual Average temperature. As usual, I’m having us bet on the annual average temperature UAH Temperature of the Lower Troposphere as reported by Roy Spencer. This is selected because it’s always the first to report; for purposes of betting we will use the value reported by Roy Spencer [...]

Roy Spencer posted the UAH January Anomaly for the lower troposphere: +0.72 Deg! Chicago was cold, but the globe was hot, hot, hot!
The graph above shows the temperature anomalies in the satellite records for both RSS and UAH, I’ve highlighted all January readings with outlines, and also show a [...]

Michael Hauber was curious to learn what everyone bet for the Jan. 2010 UAH temperatures in the lower troposphere. Roy Spencer should be posting the winning value soon, but I thought I’d show you the Channel 5 AMSU daily anomalies:
According to the Channel 5 AMSU, anomaly-wise, the troposphere was rippin’ hot. This [...]

Zeke suggested we bet quatloos on whether or not Pachauri will cease to head the IPCC any time soon. So, here’s your chance. You must vote before Feb. 1.
Since the script is set up to record temperature anomalies in C not dates. For that reason, the entry form [...]

Many of us have been wondering when El Niño will peak. In NOAA’s Monday weekly update we find:
A majority of the models indicate that the current El Niño episode is near or at its peak (e.g. December-January-February).
That means the peak might be near So, it’s time to bet quatloos on the Niño 3.4 Average [...]

Those of you who bet on the UAH anomalies are pretty familiar with the Channel 5 AMSU, whose data are provided in near real time by UAH. Recently, Luboš Motl, commented on the very warm January readings, Joe Romm commented on Luboš’s post, and the crew on Michael Tobis’s google group are all [...]

Time to place your bets on the UAH temperature anomaly for the lower troposphere. You are betting on the value that Roy Spencer will post here early in February. As you know, to “help”, I show daily anomaly data from the drifty Channel 5 satellite.
The average for January so far can be [...]

Time to bet on the December UAH temperature anomalies for the lower troposphere. You are betting on the value that Roy Spencer will post here early in January.
As many know, I always show the channel 5 AMSU data to help you guess. Mind you, Roy doesn’t use the Channel 5 AMSU when computing [...]
