SUMMARY:Understanding 20th century surface temperature variability - David
  W J Thompson\, Colorado State University
DTSTART:20080522T131500Z
DTEND:20080522T141500Z
UID:TALK11942@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Glenn Carver
DESCRIPTION:The prevailing view of 20th century temperature variability is
  that the Earth warmed from ca. 1910 to 1940\, cooled slightly from ca. 19
 40 to 1970\, and warmed markedly from ca. 1970 onward. In this talk I will
  exploit a physically-based filtering methodology which provides an  alter
 native interpretation of 20th century global-mean temperature variability.
  The results clarify the consistency between the century-long monotonic ri
 se in greenhouse gases and global-mean temperatures\, provide new insights
  into the climatic impact of volcanic eruptions\, and highlight a glaring 
 but previously overlooked error in the time series of global-mean temperat
 ures.\n\nSearch phrases (NB\, talks.cam treats quotes as literal character
