TempLS global temp down 0.05°C in March

The TempLS monthly anomaly for March 2013 was 0.396°C, down slightly from 0.447° in February. I had actually reported a small decrease from Jan to Feb which with more data was converted to a small rise.

Satellite indices also show little change, after a bumpy few months.

Here is the spherical harmonics plot of the temperature distribution:



Europe and N Russia very cold, central Asia very warm.
