UAH v6.0 data for November were released a couple of days ago. Here are updated graphs for various regions showing the furthest back one can go to show a zero or negative trend (less than +0.01C/ 100 years) in lower tropospheric temperatures. For the second month of the climb towards the El Nino peak, there is still NO pause in the Northern Hemisphere trend. However, in some regions the pause has lengthened. Note: The satellite record commences in December 1978. The entire satellite record is now 37 years long- 444 months.

Globe:
There has been zero trend for exactly half the record, (and for an increase in CO2 concentration of 37 ppm).
Northern Hemisphere: No Pause
Southern Hemisphere:
The Pause has lengthened again. For more than half the record the Southern Hemisphere has zero trend.
Tropics:
The pause has shortened significantly.
Tropical Oceans:
Unchanged from last month.
North Polar:
The Pause has lengthened by two months.
South Polar:
At -0.11C/ 100 years, the cooling trend is now undeniable. For the whole of the satellite record, the South Polar region has had a negative trend. So much for a fingerprint of warming due to the enhanced greenhouse effect being greater warming at the Poles!
Australia:
No change.
USA 49 states:
One month longer!
The Pause lives!

Ken what is the trend in the NH? One NH country USA has increased the pause by 1 month. And interesting to see an increase in the pause for the NP region.

For the same period, +0.14C/100 yrs, which is pretty flat by any standard, but just outside my criteria of +0.01C!

There is now a plausible theory for the slight cooling in Antarctica… and it pretty much puts the kibosh on melt fantasies.

It would be interesting if they can get temperature trends for over deserts and especially at Night. The North and South Poles naturally control for H20. It is very dry air so any GHG effect is left to gasses other than H20. Same happens in the dry deserts. What would be interesting is to see if the spread between day and night temperatures is narrowing in areas where there is no H20 in the atmosphere. That would be a CO2 signature.

Australia is mostly desert- see previous posts re the difference between surface temperature and satellite anomalies is very largely due to rainfall variation. Diurnal temperature range is not narrowing in surface temperature according to Acorn.

Hello Kensington. Thanks for climate info. What does American Physics Society say about this? Many meteorologists live there. I am not so good at searching, and as a NON-member have found no updates since jan-2014. frm pd

Hello Kenskingdom, you will send me dyslexia training soon for mis-spelling your name. frm pd

No worries mate! I’m not familiar with American Physics Society, might be worth a look.

this is nov-2015 policy statement – a bit vague but some of the REPORTS are enlightening.

re APS- yes about [snip- sorry- beware of libel! even if it is an overseas organisation] bend the evidence to suit a theory, instead of the other way round. But about 10% say computer models of climate are nowhere near reliable for use as predictors. Which we may quote to our opponents.
