- A Curious Essay Sat, 4 Mar 23, 5:00amGuest Post by Willis Eschenbach et al. Here’s the draft essay: Introduction Climate is a complex and dynamic system, regulated by a multitude of interrelated processes, feedback loops, and emergent…
- Global Scatterplots Sat, 15 Oct 22, 4:00amGuest Post by Willis Eschenbach For a while now, I’ve been using a curious kind of scatterplot. Here’s an example. It shows the relationship between the surface temperature and the…
- More intense and frequent thunderstorms linked to global climate variability Wed, 23 Jun 21, 3:00pmUsing isotopes from Texas cave stalactites, scientists in Texas A&M’s College Of Geosciences studied thunderstorm changes in the Southern Great Plains TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Research News Large thunderstorms in...
- Ocean Surface Temperature Limit-Part 2 Tue, 25 May 21, 7:00amThe surface temperature in the Persian Gulf has been observed to reach 307K in August but examining the atmospheric profile shows the mid-level moisture content is too low to create the LFC needed before deep convection can...
- Thunderstorm World: A Model to Explore Ideas from Willis Eschenbach Sun, 16 May 21, 11:00pmI’ve been thinking about some ideas that WUWT contributor Willis Eschenbach (WE) has proposed. In particular, WE has suggested that tropical cumulus clouds and thunderstorms provide a “thermostatic mechanism” that helps...

- The Daily Albedo Cycle Tue, 9 Jun 15, 1:26pmGuest Post by Willis Eschenbach I discussed the role of tropical albedo in regulating the temperature in two previous posts entitled Albedic Meanderings and An Inherently Stable System...
- An Inherently Stable System Thu, 4 Jun 15, 6:05pmGuest Post by Willis Eschenbach At the end of my last post , I said that the climate seems to be an inherently stable system. The graphic below shows ~2,000 climate simulations run by climateprediction.net. Unlike the other...
- Using cosmic rays to reveal Earth’s thunderstorm processes Wed, 22 Apr 15, 11:00pmFrom the University of Groningen: Exploding stars help to understand thunderclouds on Earth How is lightning initiated in thunderclouds? This is difficult to answer – how do you measure electric fields inside large,...
- Real pollution (not ‘carbon’ pollution) increases storm clouds Wed, 27 Nov 13, 7:54amFrom the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory: A common theme among climate alarmists is that the wrongly named ‘carbon pollution’ aka carbon dioxide, increases the frequency and intensity of storms...
