The Blob!

Beautiful

docleslie.bsky.social•161 days ago

There are so many great climate visualizations out there but this is definitely one of the best; watching something skew inexorably away from a stable state resonates on a visceral level, and the colour sidetone helps put it in perspective.

stewo.bsky.social•161 days ago

I agree! Also apart from the clearer intuitive impression: It visualises the doubling, tripling, … of the extremes in chosen intervals on the right hand side (area under the curve) when moving the average “a bit”.

docleslie.bsky.social•158 days ago

Absolutely.

Great graph.

would be powerful to project this into the future & have a tally of something people care about.

E.g. chance of a heatwave exceeding 45 degrees C in the Mediterranean. (or above 40C in the UK 🇬🇧 for us.

1 in 500 years --> 1 in 20 years.

great visual for the "it snowed in XXX" & the "it was this hot in XXX" brigade

taraustralis.bsky.social•161 days ago

I wa just up in Lithuania and Latvia - it’s very warm up those regions. The locals have said this is the time of year they should have snow and they don’t. Quite alarming.

I remember reading this effect is strongest during the NH summer over land?

I should learn to reproduce this and change variables..

marksubbarao.bsky.social•161 days ago

Hi Leon, on the SVS page we've included a python based Jupyter notebook with the code to create the graph. Hopefully that should get you started making your onn jellyfish experiments.

leonsimons.bsky.social•161 days ago

Thank you Mark.

This is a nice way to try and learn. I'll let you know how far I get.

I suspect the emulsification of the gulf after the deepwater horizon disaster greatly accelerated this.

johnmashey.bsky.social•162 days ago

I'm always happy for NASA computing & visualizations.
In 1990s, as Chief Scientist at Silicon Graphics & helped design supercomputers (like SGI Origin 3xxx), it was fun talking to NASA folks. I helped this deal at GSFC happen.
It's still fun to see computing at AGU.

Temperatures across land areas of the globe are getting warmer, including the overall heating of the coldest and hottest days of the year.

jb-notes.bsky.social•160 days ago

The most likely air temperature measured over land in any given year (the location of the peak of this histogram curve) is very noticeably increasing, as the years go by. TLDR: global warming is real, and has been happening for a while now.

drunkapples.bsky.social•162 days ago

brian-henderson.bsky.social•162 days ago

It would be interesting to see similar animation for distribution of dew point (DP) temperatures.

Since DP constrains lower limit temperatures can decrease to each day; it would highlight the significant rise of overnight temperatures. Average temps don’t highlight how daily temp cycle is changjng.

bill-comeau.bsky.social•160 days ago

Amazing visual. It leads me to many questions. One is whether the variance of these land measurements is increasing. And I wonder where I can read up on land msmt science, in particular how it handles effects like urbanization and to what degree locations are representative of overall land mass.

dr-otter.bsky.social•162 days ago

What is the y axis?

zacklabe.com•162 days ago

"The y-axis shows the frequency of occurrence, meaning how often the annual temperature was at, above, or below the baseline."

AFAEK, Hansen. Soto and Ruedy first pointed this out in 2012 There were a lot of people who didn't accept it besides the usual suspects. Discussed in a Skeptical Science post by @dananuccitelli.bsky.social

pkashwan.bsky.social•161 days ago

Agreed-Thanks for sharing this @zlabe.bsky.social Could one get comparable data on the differences between temperature anomalies over land versus over the oceans, which is relevant for understanding how solar geoengineering might influence global hydrological cycle. cc: @ambarish.bsky.social

ambarish.bsky.social•161 days ago

Yes, this can be done for ocean temperature as well. Global gridded datasets, like GISTEMP used here, include land-sea masks. So it's straightforward to do this for any region of interest.

pkashwan.bsky.social•161 days ago

Great, thanks! Let's talk about that.

timosbornclim.bsky.social•161 days ago

Something to bear in mind: the broadening of the distribution shouldn't be simply interpreted as an increase in temporal variability of climate. Spatial variability in warming rates gives a broader distribution. And maybe just moving away from the baseline period does too?
