NOTES ON GRAPHS
If you use one of my graphs or other illustrations, please provide a link to the post where it was found.
Also, please advise me via a comment if an illustration does not appear in a post. The image hosting site loses them occasionally. I have the illustrations on file and should be able to replace/repair them. Thanks.

Model-Data Precipitation Comparison: CMIP5 (IPCC AR5) Model Simulations versus Satellite-Era Observations
In numerous past posts, we’ve compared observed surface temperature data to the simulations of it by the climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for their 4th (2007) and 5th (upcoming) assessment reports. Refer to the examples … Continue reading
Happy Holidays!!
Enjoy your holidays. I’ve got another model-data comparison in the works–this time satellite-era precipitation data. I’m hoping to post it on Wednesday the 26th. Most visitors here will enjoy it; others won’t. Best regards.

Model-Data Comparison: Pacific Ocean Satellite-Era Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
I’ll be adding the Pacific Ocean (60S-65N, 120E-80W) sea surface temperature anomalies to my monthly updates. See Figure 1 for the area covered by those coordinates. Why add the Pacific Ocean? It covers about 45% of the surface area of … Continue reading
