The first image, based on data from January 1997 when El Nio was still strengthening shows a sea level rise along the Equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean of up to 34 centimeters with the red colors indicating
an associated change in sea surface temperature of up to 5.4 degrees C.

The most important bias globally was the modification
in measured
sea surface temperatures associated with the
change from ships throwing a bucket over the side, bringing some ocean water on deck, and putting a thermometer
in it, to reading the thermometer

This seems to be
associated with particular patterns of
change in sea surface temperature in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, a teleconnection which is well - captured
in climate models on seasonal timescales.
On Wednesday an interesting paper (Thompson et al) was published
in Nature, pointing to a clear artifact
in the
sea surface temperatures in 1945 and
associating it with the
changing mix of fleets and measurement techniques at the end of World War II.
The evidence is «equivocal» because it does not agree with limited land based observation of cloud — something that may be a little shortsighted as these
changes seem significantly to be
associated with
sea surface temperature in the tropics and the influences of the northern and southern annular modes.
But it wouldn't be an El Nino
in the complete sense (the
sea surface temperature anomalies along with the
associated changes to the dominant weather patterns).
For example, let's say that evidence convinced me (
in a way that I wasn't convinced previously) that all recent
changes in land
surface temperatures and
sea surface temperatures and atmospheric
temperatures and deep
sea temperatures and
sea ice extent and
sea ice volume and
sea ice density and moisture content
in the air and cloud coverage and rainfall and measures of extreme weather were all directly tied to internal natural variability, and that I can now see that as the result of a statistical modeling of the trends as
associated with natural phenomena.
A new methodology (combined Pacific variability mode) is developed to objectively analyze how climate
change may be synergistically interacting with Pacific
sea surface temperature associated warm season teleconnections
in North America.

in the journal Nature he argued, «The
changes are all
associated with patterns of dry - season mist frequency, which is negatively correlated with
sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific.»

changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation.
We already know that the
sea surface temperatures associated with mass bleaching of much of the Great Barrier Reef
in early 2016 would have been virtually impossible without climate
change.
That suggests that the 1940s tropical warming could have started the

Here we use an ensemble of simulations with a coupled ocean — atmosphere model to show that the
sea surface temperature anomalies
associated with central Pacific El Niño force
changes in the extra-tropical atmospheric circulation.
The large interannual to decadal hydroclimatic variability
in winter precipitation is highly influenced by
sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies
in the tropical Pacific Ocean and
associated changes in large - scale atmospheric circulation patterns [16].
The phases are
associated with
changes in sea surface temperatures (SST).
The most important bias globally was the modification

There are secular
changes in cloud
associated with variable
sea surface temperature — that vary from weeks to millennia creating warmer or cooler
surface conditions.
There is a recognised bias
in the dataset from the period around WWII
associated with
changes in the nationality of the shipping fleets taking
sea surface temperature measurements - the main contributor to the
temperature record - due to the war.
Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences
in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal
changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a
change in surface or atmospheric conditions and the
change in cloud radiative properties
associated with a
change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between
surface air
temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for
sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of
sea ice thickness.
