• Impact of CO2: Rising concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have led to warming of the atmosphere and, as a result, an increase in sea surface temperatures.

If the net increase in sea surface temperature produces a net increase in the rainfall, that entails a net increase in the rate of non-radiative transfer of energy from the surface to the upper troposphere.

The authors use a sea surface temperature data set that has been corrected for biases in sea surface data that arise due to the difference in measurements from ships and buoys, and the authors incorporate a much larger amount of data from land - based observations.

One satellite instrument called an altimeter detects currents by measuring horizontal differences in sea surface height.

El Nino leftover warm water pools drift into different parts of the oceans and continue to warm for years, an effect not characterized by the ENSO index, but clearly visible in sea surface temperature maps and in the temperature step changes and plateaus following El Ninos.

In it, they documented how a change in observing practices before and after World War II produced a cold bias in the sea surface temperatures that were incorporated into the compilations of global average temperatures (see here and here for more details).

Observed variations in sea surface height (SSH) measured by the TOPEX / Poseidon altimeter (left).

Regional circulation patterns have significantly changed in recent years.2 For example, changes in the Arctic Oscillation can not be explained by natural variation and it has been suggested that they are broadly consistent with the expected influence of human - induced climate change.3 The signature of global warming has also been identified in recent changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a pattern of variability in sea surface temperatures in the northern Pacific Ocean.4

• It is very likely that the human - induced increase in greenhouse gases has contributed to the increase in sea surface temperatures in the hurricane formation regions.

John Imbrie used time - series analysis to statistically compare the timing and cycles in the sea surface temperature and global ice volume records with patterns of the Earth's orbit.

The daily anomalies in sea surface temperatures (SSTA) in the main Niño region 3.4 are now updated.

«The Pacific Decadal Oscillation is a climate index based upon patterns of variation in sea surface temperature of the North Pacific from 1900 to the present (Mantua et al. 1997).

Storms and cloud spinning off the polar vortices into lower latitudes — the changes in sea surface temperature over vast areas of the Pacific.

We argue that the abrupt temperature drop of ~ 0.3 °C in 1945 is the apparent result of uncorrected instrumental biases in the sea surface temperature record [since it is only apparent in SSTs].

Random variations in sea surface temperature are caused by random variations in cloudiness, which are caused by who - knows - what.)

This upward step in the Sea Surface Temperature anomalies for the Mid-To-High Latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere will be discussed in a future post.

Decreased low - level cloud cover in the Northeast Pacific region amplifies increases in sea surface temperatures.

Over these shorter periods, there are many modes of climate variability, usually involving semi-structured oscillations in sea surface temperatures, like the El Niño - Southern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the Arctic Oscillation, and so on.

Nonetheless, an upward trend in Atlantic and West Pacific tropical cyclone power dissipation in the past few decades — based on the frequency, duration, and intensity of observed storms — is well correlated with increases in sea surface temperature [16].

Model biases are compared to biases in the sea surface temperature (SST) gradient, the polar jet stream, the Eady growth rate, and model resolution.

It is reasonable to theorize that some human contribution is responsible for the increase in strong hurricanes in the Atlantic since 1970, since this increase does correlate so well with the observed increase in sea surface temperatures.
