Not according to the RSS and UAH satellite tropospheric data sets.<p>The MSU and AMSU sensors have issues, but still have wider coverage and superior accuracy to the ground station data the NOAA is using. Additionally, RSS and UAH are two different teams, with different methodologies, and using different sensors, with corroborating data.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.remss.com&#x2F;msu&#x2F;msu_time_series.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.remss.com&#x2F;msu&#x2F;msu_time_series.html</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vortex.nsstc.uah.edu&#x2F;data&#x2F;msu&#x2F;v6.0beta&#x2F;tlt&#x2F;tltglhmam_6.0beta4.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vortex.nsstc.uah.edu&#x2F;data&#x2F;msu&#x2F;v6.0beta&#x2F;tlt&#x2F;tltglhmam_...</a><p>[EDIT] I&#x27;m absolutely wrong. Both the RSS and UAH data confirm that November is the hottest November in the sattelite record also.<p>Thanks jacobolus for pointing this out (and making sure I stop assuming the NOAA is exaggerating on its hottest month claims.)
