…the Tonga volcano didn’t inject large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere, and the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect, since…

How To Push a Climate Crisis Hoax: Florida’s Record Ocean Temperature
The hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Florida was 109 degrees on June 29, 1931, in Monticello located over 400 miles north of Everglades National Park.
Ocean Atmosphere Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere
How can climate models hope to reflect the real world when clouds are parameterised with no sensitivity to surface temperature?
Part 2: How Sea Ice Modulates Ventilation of Stored Ocean Heat and Warms the Arctic
Examines the three major factors affecting sea ice extent, ventilation of subsurface heat and Arctic temperatures and explains why warming air due to a cooling ventilating Arctic ocean should never…
Transport Of Tropical Ocean Heat Causes An Over Estimation Of The Global Average Temperature
Jim Steele Video shows how the redistribution of tropical ocean heat to the Arctic can raise the global average temperature without any added energy to the earth’s climate A simple…
How Global Warming Isn’t
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I kept reading that warming oceans around Antarctica are melting the ice shelves. However, I’ve also read that Antarctica hasn’t warmed in seven decades. Say…
Best Climate Change Temperatures
By Andy May I just gave an informal Zoom talk to a small group on measuring climate change through temperatures. The host, Dave Siegel, recorded it and has posted the…
Why do the HadSST Sea-Surface Temperatures Trend Down?
By Andy May The simple answer is that the portion of the ocean, roughly 54%, that has HadSST values is getting cooler. But Nick Stokes doesn’t believe that. His idea…
Ocean Temperatures, what do we really know?
By Andy May This is the last in my current series of posts on ocean temperatures. In our previous posts we compared land-based measurements to sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) and discussed…
Sea-Surface Temperature Anomalies
By Andy May My previous post on sea-surface temperature (SST) differences between HadSST and ERSST generated a lively discussion. Some, this author included, asserted that the Hadley Centre HadSST record…
Sea-Surface Temperatures: Hadley Centre v. NOAA
By Andy May My last post compared actual sea-surface temperature (SST) estimates to one another to see how well they agreed. It was not a pretty sight; the various estimates…
The Ocean Mixed Layer, SST, and Climate Change
By Andy May As described in my previous post, the ocean “mixed layer” is sandwiched between the very thin “skin” layer at the ocean surface and the deep ocean. The…
500 Years of Global SST Variations from a 1D Forcing-Feedback Model
If nothing else, the results in Fig. 3 might give us some idea of the ENSO-related SST variations for 300-400 years before anthropogenic forcings became significant, and how those variations…
Sea surface skin temperature
By Andy May In previous posts, see here and here, I’ve tried to show that because the oceans cover 71% of Earth and they contain 99% of the thermal energy…
Ocean Temperature Update
By Andy May A considerable amount of new information on ocean temperature has been gathered since I last wrote about the subject in 2016 here. In my last post on…
Claim: The deep sea is slowly warming
WASHINGTON–New research reveals temperatures in the deep sea fluctuate more than scientists previously thought and a warming trend is now detectable at the bottom of the ocean.
A new method for correcting systematic errors in ocean subsurface data
News Release 8-Apr-2020 A homogeneous, consistent, high-quality in situ temperature data set covering some decades in time is crucial for the detection of climate changes in the ocean. Systematic errors in…
New 80-Year Deep-Ocean Temperature Dataset Compared to a 1D Climate Model
Reposted from Dr. Roy Spencer’s site January 15th, 2020 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. The increasing global ocean heat content (OHC) is often pointed to as the most quantitative…
The Ocean Warms By A Whole Little
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach [see update at the end] How much is a “Whole Little”? Well, it’s like a whole lot, only much, much smaller. There’s a new paper…
Weak El Nino Conditions Help Explain Recent Global Warmth
From Dr. Roy Spencer’s Blog January 13th, 2020 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. The continuing global-average warmth over the last year has caused a few people to ask for…
When Warming is Cooling!
Guest post by Jim Steele, Published in the Pacifica Tribune December 31, 2019 What’s Natural? When Warming is Cooling! The media has been awash with doomsday headlines, trumpeting a human-caused…
Geothermal ocean warming discussion thread
Reposted from Climate Etc. Posted on July 21, 2019 by curryja by Judith Curry “The atmosphere bias of climate science makes it impossible for them to see geological forces and…
Boaty McBoatface mission gives new insight into warming ocean abyss
The first mission involving the autonomous submarine vehicle Autosub Long Range (better known as ‘Boaty McBoatface’) has for the first time shed light on a key process linking increasing Antarctic…
Comparison of global climatologies confirms warming of the global ocean
Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences IMAGE: Deployment of an APEX float from a German research ship. Credit: Argo The global ocean represents the most important component of…
