'The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for May 2015 was the highest for the month of May since record keeping began in 1880. March–May and the year-to-date (January–May) globally averaged temperature were also record high.'

The new version is based on 'ocean (ERSST version 4.0.0) dataset'

'Q. What are the corrections to the ERSST dataset?

A. Version 4 of the ERSST dataset improves or corrects for several factors related to sea-surface temperature (SST) measurements. These include: updated and substantially more complete input data from ships and buoys, improved metadata associated with these observations, updated SST quality control procedures, revised SST anomaly evaluation methods, updated corrections to ship SSTs using nighttime marine air temperature, accounting for differences inherent in buoy (relative to ship-borne) observations, and improved methods of identifying and using persistent statistical relationships between neighboring regions to help validate observations and address missing data. Complete information on these changes is available in Huang et al. (2015).'

That is the Karl et al (2015) paper.

remember this?

I see NOAA, fresh from a "new version of the dataset" in 2014, which somehow, unrelated, gave us "the hottest year evah", is going to update the dataset again, next week. Any bets on a new "hottest year evah"? '

And that makes YOU the biggest Goreaid drinker on earth..

Marla, the Karl et al (2015) paper had a self-admitted significance of 10%. And they called that good. I suggest you get a good book on statistical significance and find out what a 10% significance really means.

Alternatively you can use wiki; the results are the same. 5% is good significance, 10% is weak.


So for Karl et al 10% is p weak.

Do you think Karl et al got Koch to write the report?

'You're the biggest Koch puppet evah. '

Damn, they still haven't paid me.

Sorry, where have i ever said 'the sun alone controls climate?

You should pay more attention; your Koch phobia is getting the better of you.
But thank you for the tip on NOAA. Fancy a government agency 'cooking' the books.

Strangely, I understand that.....however (or howevah) constantly using the Koch Brothers as a response to any and all comments that don't 'toe the AGW party line' really just makes you look like an imbecile.

NOAA are rapidly becoming a joke.  The 're did' the ocean level data and now amazingly. it is in 100% agreement with IPCC predictions.  Now they are doing the same with surface temperature data and guess what?  the pause in warming... NO LONGER EXISTS.  mind you, this is in keeping with the climate hysterics who claim that the Medieval Warm Period and the little ice age - all well documented - did not in fact happen.

NOAA and NASA have degenerated into the worst examples of climate science fraud around.  Forget Climategate, the real scoundrels are NASA.  IN early 2008 they declared that 2007 showed substantial COOLING.  A few months later, 2007 magically became a HOT year and no record exists on their website of the previous announcment which was heralded around the world.  these two bodies have become a disgrace.
