3The difference between low lat temp and ENSO
index Temp explodes mid 60s, 80s and 90s. What
else in the climate system exploded early in
those decades? Volcanoes Contrary to the model
results lower stratosphere temp increases after
the initial drop, next page. Indicates that the
cause of the drops is the large volcanic
eruptions. Perhaps by ozone depletion.
4Data taken from AR4WG1 Tech. Summary fig.
TS.7 and http//www.sciencemag.org/ feature/data/1
046907s1_large.jpeg
Stable low or decreasing temp lead to increased
heat content
Stable high give unchanged heat content

Willis calc Temp drops in the stratosphere so
both upwelling and downwelling LW is reduced ,
only a minor net change (slide
8) Observation Quite stable, seems to follow the
ENSO variation and volcano impact.
Volcano and El Nino?
Willis calc -2,8 W/m2 (2,8 downwelling) Observati
on -2,5 W/m2
La Nina
6Willis calc 1,8 W/m2 Observation 1,6 W/m2
The large drop from the end of 2001 is according
to ISCCP not real, an artifact in the
dataset Same for the LW up, slide 5.
Willis calc 1,5 W/m2 Observation 1,3 W/m2
7In addition Stratospheric temp decrease match
observed, see slide 3. Tropospheric temp
increases less than surface temp, match MSU
measurements showing only a minor temp increase
in high troposphere. Theres a net loss of energy
to the stratosphere and a net gain from the
surface. Albedo apparently does not match, but
since clouds are a major factor it is hard to
compare. LW fluxes between surface and
troposphere is driven by the weather which is
chaotic and show hugh fluctuations, so it makes
no sense comparing in this context.
