This is a brief initial post with the UAH data for July 2016 with Global, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and Tropical data only, which were released this morning. I will post all graphs when the full dataset is available in about one week’s time.
Globe:
The Pause is hanging on but the trend will probably go above +0.1C per 100 years next month.
Northern Hemisphere:
The Pause is over, but the trend for the past 18 years and 3 months is +0.28C, which is about one fifth of the trend for the whole satellite period.
Southern Hemisphere:
The Pause has shortened by 4 months to 20 years and 2 months.
Tropics:
The Pause has decreased to 19 years 1 month.
All graphs will be available shortly.

Ken thanks for this interim pause update. Steve McIntyre has an interesting post about the Law Dome series from Antarctica that shows a steady decline in temp over the Holocene.
Most of the alarmist scientists try to hide this data “for obvious reasons” and Steve shows the recent data torturing methods of Gergis following the same trend.
Just thought that you may be interested in this Climate audit link because you’ve found a decline in temp since DEC 1978 from South polar UAH data. Law Dome shows a decline since the Hol climate optimum.

Thanks for the link. I will be posting re very long climate records (glacial and interglacial scales) using a number of datasets in the next couple of days.

Interesting about the Antarctic data. As Ken pointed out previously the UAH data for the land and ocean components of UAH data show different trends (See https://kenskingdom.wordpress.com/2016/04/17/antarctic-trends/).
The positive trend for the UAH land data for the South Pole is in line with the BEST data showing warming in Antarctic- see http://berkeleyearth.lbl.gov/regions/antarctica . For the Law Dome, the BEST data for the Law Dome can be found at http://berkeleyearth.lbl.gov/stations/151561 .
By the way Ken, are you using UAH V6 beta 5 for your calculations? I have tried to emulate your calculations using the current global UAH data with running 12 month averages. You show in your top figure a trend of 0.00075 (I assume degrees per month) which corresponds to 0.09 degrees per century.
When I do my calculations I get the minimum slope of 0.11 degrees per century (using March 1998 as the starting point, similarly for Feb 1998). I have done these calculations in Excel and confirmed them using Matlab.
Very puzzling and normally I wouldn’t quibble over small differences but we it seems we don’t have to wait until next month to bury the pause , even using your somewhat bizarre methodology of 12 month running averages and the arbitrary criterion of defining the pause as being a trend less than 0.1 degrees per century. Maybe it is time to raise the bar again and you could get a few more months out of this exercise.
In contrast , if we just use the raw unadulterated UAH data the global pause has been dead and buried for 5 months.

Hi Mike, nothing new I see. I’d double check your calculations because mine are spot on.
The full July dataset has been released- will try to post tomorrow if possible but might be a day or two longer.

Hi Ken,
Finally sorted out our discrepancy above with regard to the trends. There are at least three, if not more, versions of UAH V6 beta5 floating around. They seem to change the data very slightly from month to month with 0.01 degree differences for about 5 to 10% of the months. These small changes are hard to spot by eye as they are for months at least a year prior to the latest month.
With a version of a couple of months ago , I get the same value that you calculated of 0.33 while the latest version gives 0.35 degrees C per century.
It looks like one has to be careful and update the spreadsheets from the very latest version of UAH 6 beta 5, not just add the new monthly temperatures to the spreadsheet.
At least that is sorted out and our numbers should agree from now on and we can get onto more substantive issues.

Mike R at 4.03pm:
Sorry Mike, but as I have previously said, check your calculations. I have just (at 7.00pm) downloaded the data from
http://www.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/v6.0beta/tlt/uahncdc_lt_6.0beta5.txt
and every result is exactly the same as I used for this post. The trend per 100 years since December 1997 in global monthly data is 0.327732C. All other results are unchanged as well. My calculations are correct. This subject is now closed.

Good evening Ken.
I know comments are now closed. However I wanted to say, It looks like I was the one that used the previous month’s version! I think I now need to get an appointment at the doc and get a check for early onset dementia.
Way too many versions of the same dataset! They should be numbered v6 beta 5(a)(b)(c)…… to avoid such confusion.
As an old engineering friend of mine used to say, ‘the good thing about standards are that there are so many to choose from’.
I think we can say the same thing about UAH v6 beta 5.

Hi Ken,
I have rechecked my spreadsheet and Matlab calculations and have close agreement with your calculations for the trend since 1979 for the 4 graphs above, but significant discrepancies with your values for the shorter term trends.
Maybe the problem is with the rolling 12 month average. It appears you are forward averaging i.e. your last date is August 2015 which is the average of that month’s temperature with the following 11 months up to July 2016 which gives a value of 0.48 C . Similarly the value for April 1997 is 0.1575 C . Hopefully you have the same values . If they are different then this should allow us to clear up the discrepancies.
Finally I calculate the smallest trend value for the global data (after smoothing) to be 0.11 degrees C per century- see the following link.

Ken, I am looking forward to your post for the full dataset. I have managed to automate the process so it is a one step process to calculate the minimum (and maximum trends) for all 27 regions/data sets for both smoothed and raw data, for any starting time until the present, so hopefully we can compare notes.

A new NASA study has found that the earth is heating the Greenland ice sheet from below. Not their so called CAGW. The temp at the bottom of the ice sheet is 10 degrees warmer than the surface.
The same heating from undersea volcanoes was found to be heating the West Antarctic ice sheet. But even so that area has been cooling for at least 18 years. Here’s the Greenland study link.
