There is nowhere in that paper, or any other, that relies on some assumption
about atmospheric heat content anomalies.

For hurricanes, then, you'd want to ask what the sea surface temperature, subsurface ocean
heat content, and
atmospheric water vapor
content would have been if, say, fossil fuel use had been eliminated 100 years ago, and
atmospheric CO2 remained at
about 300 ppm.
C isothermic level in the pacific appeared to rise from an average of 400 meters to
about 100 meters recently; I find myself wondering then how is it that the oceans
heat content is dropping, the solar input appears to be consistant, that one of the GEWEX comitties appears to indicate that the
atmospheric water vapor seems to be decreasing.
I'm a phsycist - and I remember being highly skeptical
about AGW when I first heard
about it in the late 80's - reasoning that the ocean was such an enormous
heat sink that any impact on
atmospheric temperatures would be dwarfed by the impact on increased
heat content in the ocean.
Here is what NOAA states
about the inadequacies of ocean
heat content measurements:» Nonetheless, preliminary processing of Argo data indicates that it is not without problems associated with different calibration and manufacturers of the instruments; a problem common for
atmospheric measurements.
All this talk
about ocean
heat content and regional predictions of
atmospheric temperatures and yet no mention of mean global surface temperature these days...
