Public Perception of Climate Change and the New Climate Dice

This year's analysis is for four 11-year periods 1980-1990, 1991-2001, 2002-2012, 2013,2023, with 1951-1980 base period as usual.

Figure in Author Summary Published in Print

Figure P1. Frequency of occurence (y-axis) of local temperature anomalies divided by local standard deviation (x-axis) obtained by binning all local results for the indicated region and 11-year period into 0.05 frequency intervals. Area under each curve is unity. Standard deviations are for the 1951-1980 period.

Shifting Dstribution of Temperature Anomalies
Figure 4. Frequency of occurence (y-axis) of local temperature anoma lies (relative to 1951-1980 mean) divided by local standard deviations (x-axis) obtained by counting how many gridboxes have anomalies within each 0.05 interval over 11-year periods. Area under each curve is unity.

Figure 5. Area covered by temperature anomalies in the categories defined as hot (> 0.43σ), very hot (> 2σ), and extremely hot (> 3σ) with analogous divisions for cold anomalies. Anomalies are relative to 1951-1980 climatology, with σ also from 1951-1980 data.

Area under each curve is unity. Standard deviations are for the indicated base periods. (Last modified: 2012/01/19)

Figure S1. Jun-Jul-Aug surface temperature anomalies in 1931, 1934, 1936, 1941, 1947, 1953. Number on upper right is the global mean (average over all area with data). (Last modified: 2012/03/26)

Figure S2. Jun-Jul-Aug surface temperature anomalies over land in 1931, 1934, 1936, 1941, 1947, 1953 relative to 1951-1980 mean temperature in unit of the local 1951-1980 standard deviation of temperature. Numbers above each map are the percent of surface area covered by each category in the color bar. (Last modified: 2012/03/26)
