![]() I suspect that the May warming is due to El Nino-related warmth in the Pacific. The new Version 6 files, which should be updated soon, are located here: The global image for May, 2015 should be available in the next several days here. This response has been prepared for your next post, regardless of what its topic might be. For it is related to your previous comment to me: “yes, the dewpoint temperature is always below the temperature. Not sure what you are claiming that proves, Jerry.” (Climate Polling Results Lead to Weird Press Coverage August 13, 2014) and to your post of Ap(Why Summer Nighttime Temperatures Don’t Fall Below Freezing). Which, if you read my responses to this post, you did not respond to them. ![]() Hence, there is no evidence that you read them.įor convenience I quote a portion of your post. You began: “There’s something about the greenhouse effect /sky radiation / downwelling infrared / back radiation issue that keeps drawing me back to the subject. “I guess it’s the number of people who don’t believe the so-called greenhouse effect exists (I still get e-mails from them, even today), combined with the difficulty of convincing them that their everyday experience is consistent with its existence. ”So, just for laughs, here’s another demonstration, involving a simple model of the cooling of the soil at night. “At night the soil cools by loss of infrared radiation. The Stefan-Boltzmann equation lets us estimate the rate at which IR energy is being lost based upon surface temperature and emissivity, and simply dividing that by the product of the soil depth and soil bulk heat capacity gives us the rate at which the soil layer temperature will fall.
