and don't understand that the oceans hold about 1000X
the heat content of the atmosphere, and that things «slosh around» in the short term.
In response to your assertion that surface temperatures have not been used to track
the heat content of the atmosphere.
[Response: Hi Roger, Please point me to one study anywhere in the literature which has used the surface temperature record to infer changes in
the heat content of the atmosphere.

But the air moves up and down in the atmosphere, so how can you estimate
the heat content of the atmosphere by only looking at the bottom 6 feet?
The water in my anaolgy is heat, toddlers pool is
the heat content of the atmosphere, the olympic pool is the heat content of the oceans.
