Sentences with phrase «including ocean heat content data»

The method preferred by the GWPF report, and that which Lewis has used in his own papers, involves estimating climate sensitivity using a combination of recent instrumental temperature data (including ocean heat content data), less complex climate models, and statistics.

That's just not true if you include ocean heat content data to 2000 meters.

I prefer though my multi-cointegration papers that include ocean heat content data.

Not exact matches

The increase in deep ocean heat content is also a robust result in data sets that do not include reanalysis.

Several recent studies have also concluded that it is necessary to include data from the deep ocean in order to reconcile global heat content and the TOA energy imbalance, which DK12 failed to do.

DK12 used ocean heat content (OHC) data for the upper 700 meters of oceans to draw three main conclusions: 1) that the rate of OHC increase has slowed in recent years (the very short timeframe of 2002 to 2008), 2) that this is evidence for periods of «climate shifts», and 3) that the recent OHC data indicate that the net climate feedback is negative, which would mean that climate sensitivity (the total amount of global warming in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 levels, including feedbacks) is low.

The data used in estimating the Levitus et al. (2005a) ocean temperature fields (for the above heat content estimates) do not include sea surface temperature (SST) observations, which are discussed in Chapter 3.

The paper also includes this useful table illustrating that according to observational data, ocean heat content has indeed accumulated rapidly in the deep oceans in recent years.

However, as we recently discussed, the increase in deep ocean heat content is a robust result in data sets that do not include reanalysis.

This includes ocean heat content (it is more or less), GISS, Hadley etc global data — and includes raw data and adjustment algorithms / codes.

We are still going to have to wait for the «definitive» ocean heat content numbers, however, it is important to note that all analyses give long term increases in ocean heat content — particularly in the 1990s — whether they include the good ARGO data or exclude the XBTs or not).

As for ocean heat content, Argo hasn't been in the water long enough to show a clear signal, and there have been problems with the data, including a significant correction (you do recall the correction to the UAH satellite record after years of insistence that their data showed the surface temp record trends were completely wrong?).

For more information, including a discussion of the natural warming of ocean heat content data, refer to my illustrated essay «The Manmade Global Warming Challenge» [42 MB].
