The temp anomaly feature is pretty cool too, does anyway know what they use as the baseline?

Thanks re-tyred, interesting that they use such a small sample as the average.re-tyred wrote:Base line average 1960-1990.mazman wrote:That's incredible.DougieK wrote:yeah.....watch the currents off the NE coast of brazil....definitely something i need to know about.

This is used with some variations for most weather anomalies. Seems a very strange idea to me. We have a roughly 60-80 year cycle of the pacific ocean temperature oscillation (pacific decadal oscillation ) and a background of 0.9 degree of sea surface temp increase over the last 100 years.
You would think you would need to average at least two oscillations of the Pacific to get some idea of the "average"
