Government Shutdown Stops Sea Ice Data Updates From NOAA

Published on by sunshinehours110 Comments

There were no NSIDC sea ice updates today. I emailed NSIDC to ask why and got this prompt and polite reply.

“Thank you for contacting the National Snow and Ice Data Center.Because our data provider, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has shut down the data stream as part of the government shutdown, we are temporarily unable to update the product.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

NOAA August 2013 – Only 28 Were Warmer Like 1901,1913,1934,1936,1937,1938,1943,1947 etc

Published on by sunshinehours12 Comments

According to the NOAA August 2013 was the 92nd warmest out of 119. That means only 28 were warmer.

These are the 28: 1901,1913,1934,1936,1937,1938,1943,1947,1955,1958,1959,1969,1970,1983,1984,1988,1995,1998,2000,2001,2003,2005,2006,2007,2010,2011,2012

It was cool in the east though. The numbers below are the rank out of 119.

So North Carolina (for example) was 13th warmest out of 119. Which means 107 Augusts in NC were warmer.

5th Wettest July in USA History – NOAA 2013

Published on by sunshinehours14 Comments

With all the claims about 2012 being the worst drought in USA history (total joke), I thought I would mention that July 2013 was the 5th wettest July ever according to the NOAA.

Only 1950, 1958, 1992 and 1915 were wetter. July 2013 was .71 inches above the 1901 – 2000 average. July 1930 was the driest.

The 1895 to 2013 trend for precipitation in July is 0. Flat. No trend at all. Perfectly average.

Year To Date precipitation for 2013 is 23rd wettest. 1.54″ above the long term average.

NOAA 30th warmest July in USA History (even with all the massaging)

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

Even with all the manipulation of NOAA data to cool the past and warm the present, there were 29 July’s warmer than July 2013 in the USA according to the NOAA.

These July’s were warmer than July 2013.

1901,1917,1921,1930,1931,1933,1934,1935,1936,1937,1939,1954,1955,1964,1966,1977,1980,1988,1998,1999,2001,2002,2003,2005,2006,2007,2010,2011,2012

1936 was the 2nd warmest. 1934 was the 4th warmest. And 1901 was the 6th warmest. According to the NOAA. I suspect 1936 was really the warmest, but NOAA data says otherwise today.

The USA population (along with UHI) has risen from 128 million in 1936 to 319 million.

4th coldest in North and South Dakota. 5th coldest in Arkansas.

This should not be possible if AGW was real.
