It Gets Rainier

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, since I was on a roll with my last post Rainergy, I thought I'd look further at the Copernicus global rainfall dataset. I started by looking at the change in global rainfall over time. Figure 1. Global monthly rainfall, 1979 - 2022. Well, that's interesting. Overall, despite endless hype…

Of Heat Engines and Refrigerators

The atmosphere is less a heat engine than a collection of many self-running refrigerators/dehumidifiers operating in different ways to carry heat largely from surface to tropopause locally and the balance from equator to poles.

And again, for no particular reason, I took a look at the three NOAA GFDL GFDL-ESM4 climate model runs prepared for the CMIP6 all-forcing…

Keeping It In Balance

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach A short post. I came into my obsession with the climate by a side door. Back around the turn of the century, I read that the global average surface temperature was in danger of going through the roof because of increasing CO2. But when I got to thinking about it,…
