As seen from the
above UAH (Satellite) graph, temperature anomaly stood at 0.1 degree at the end of October,
halving its value in the end of September.
Data
provided by the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) 5 on board the Earth
Observing System (EOS) Aqua spacecraft indicate not only a similar trend but
also highlighting that temperatures are the lowest for the last decade, even
below 2008 - the year of a very strong La Niña, and therefore the coldest year
of the last decade.
More interesting is that the current temperatures at 400mb (25kft)
and 250mb (36kfr) both of which are recording new lows.
Besides
the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System
(AMSR-E) failed in early October, there will be no more sea surface temperature
updates from that instrument. But the last reading was October 3
indicated a similar trend - sea surface temperatures were the lowest for a
decade.
