Fluctuations in some climate parameters

TL;DR

This study examines recent fluctuations in climate parameters like temperature, cloud cover, and liquid cloud fraction, finding no evidence of increased variability over recent years despite concerns about global warming.

Contribution

The paper provides empirical analysis showing no increase in fluctuations of specific climate parameters over recent years, challenging assumptions about climate variability.

Findings

No increase in temperature fluctuations

No increase in cloud cover variability

Stable liquid cloud fraction fluctuations

Abstract

There is argument as to the extent to which there has been an increase over the past few decades in the frequency of the extremes of climatic parameters, such as temperature, storminess, precipitation, etc, an obvious point being that Global Warming might be responsible. Here we report results on those parameters of which we have had experience during the last few years: Global surface temperature, Cloud Cover and the MODIS Liquid Cloud Fraction. In no case we have found indications that fluctuations of these parameters have increased with time.
