  • Trying to deconvolute a temperature record from the various and poorly-understood variables looks to me, to an increasing extent, like wishful thinking at best.

  • THe only way I can think to deconvolute this confounding variable is to do a comparison with a latitudinal tree line at sea level.

  • I would also like to deconvolute the talked about “year where warming is anamolous” to see if this is basically just saying that the recons are “higher” than previous (with a little autocorr stuff thrown in), but that is basically the insight (higher deviation than observed previously, with some significance level).

  • In the North Atlantic, it is very difficult to deconvolute the causal mechanisms for the tropical SST variations over the last century, since the AMO and external forcing seem to be in synch since about 1850, which is the length of the historical data records.

  • However, if we are trying to figure out what is causing the hurricanes, hurricanes will not work as the proxy for the various signals, we need to find something else for proxy or a combination of something elses, but this may be a better way to go than trying to deconvolute the temperature signal into forced signal and internal variability signals.
