New paper on ‘the pause’ says it is 19 years at surface and 16-26 years at the lower troposphere
By Dr. Ross McKittrick published in the Open Journal of Statistics: 'In the surface data we compute a hiatus length of 19 years, and in the lower tropospheric data we compute a hiatus length of 16 years in the UAH series and 26 years in the RSS series. MAX J estimates based on an AR1 estimator are lower but likely incorrect since higher-order autocorrelation exists in the data.'
