Climategate Scientist Michael E. Mann Exonerated


I was thinking of Edition 3, not Edition 3 Rev 1.

"The main difference between new Edition3 and previous Edition2 release is in the treatment of TOA radiative fluxes resulting from changes in the ERBE nonscanner processing algorithm to account for decay in satellite altitude over the data period."

After the extraordinary number of lies guinganbresil has been proven to have told, it will just have to forgive me this one error.

Cautions when Using Data

There are several cautions the ERBE Team notes regarding use of reprocessed monthly mean ERBE S10N_WFOV ERBS Edition3 and Edition3_Rev1 data:

Because of the 57° inclination orbit, the ERBE S10N_WFOV ERBS dataset only covers regions between 60°N and 60°S. Therefore global mean fluxes can not be produced by using this single satellite ERBE/ERBS data product alone.

Therefore global mean fluxes can not be produced by using this single satellite ERBE/ERBS data product alone.

Therefore global mean fluxes can not be produced by using this single satellite ERBE/ERBS data product alone.

[Just keep reading that until you understand it.]

To conclude anything about the net radiative energy balance, you MUST do a more rigorous analysis such as Trenberth's.

That is the ONLY legitimate way to use the sparse satellite data to infer anything about GLOBAL mean fluxes.
