I am also obsessed with visualizing the climate system and climate change and believe a blog of this sort is long overdue. On the other hand, communicating, explaining or simply exploring climate change with data-driven graphics is far less valuable without an equally rigorous understanding of the psychological perception of those graphics by members of the public. In particular, most people indulge a presumption of truth and accuracy when interpreting data graphics. The implications of this tendency are very important to the future of climate visualization and should be explored here as well.

I have been teaching myself R for the past couple of months and I also have an interest in applying statistics to understanding climate (“interested amatuer”) and this blog is FANTASTIC! Thanks!

For the moving average, I would suggest that the loess or lowess functions would produce more representative results. You can play around the parameters to obtain the level of detail that you like.

When looking for detectable shifts from a mean, as with this data, you would also do well to produce a process behavior chart. I think that the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart would be ideal for this data. However, I have yet to find a good EWMA chart in R (I use Minitab to produce these). Producing one might be a good challenge, and advance the R code base.
