The entire OHC content
anomaly when converted from Joules back to
temperature in the
ocean is on the order of 0.09 C (I assume you can
do the math and conversion, but if not let me know and I'll show my work).
While
temperatures remained elevated across the equatorial Pacific during the winter of 2014 - 15, the atmosphere never coupled to the changes in the
ocean, failing to bring further westerly wind
anomalies, and an El Niño
did not occur.
to be consistent, either we should have 100 points measuring the
temperature on a specific hour of the day on mountains and in the
ocean, and no average world
temperature, or we should
do the same with CO2, measure high for the day, low for the day, average, and make a global average from many regions, and then define an
anomaly on the same interval as the
temperature anomaly in order to be consistent.
Overall of course, we
do see higher
temperature anomalies over land on a historical basis, owing to the huge modulation role that the
ocean plays in the storage of excess energy and the higher humidity levels over the
ocean.
Ocean currents and weather have as much to
do with Artic ice as
temperatures, but UAH for 60 - 85N shows increasing temps from 1991 to 2007, and generally decreasing temp
anomaly since.
Any discussion on that webpage you linked... https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-references/faq/
anomalies.php... regarding their preference for
anomalies has to
do with land surface, not sea surface,
temperatures, which is why their land surface
temperature data and consequently their combined land +
ocean data are presented as
anomalies.
I'm very convinced that the physical process of global warming is continuing, which appears as a statistically significant increase of the global surface and tropospheric
temperature anomaly over a time scale of about 20 years and longer and also as trends in other climate variables (e.g., global
ocean heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease on average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this trend has been broken, recently.
... it seems clear that no massive
ocean temperature anomaly [i.e., cooling]
did in fact develop during the historical period [due to Land Use forcing].
As I understand it global
temperatures are calculated as
anomalies, thus removing seasonal swings, but that Heat Content is not, Now our dear planet has an elliptical orbit and is sometimes closer to the sun that others; sure, the shape of the land and
oceans doesn't mean that the amount of incoming solar radiation falling on the
oceans follows the Earths orbit, but it should be possible to work out the amount of incoming solar radiation each quarter.
... then why
do the vertical mean
temperature anomalies (NODC 0 - 2000 meter data) of the Pacific
Ocean as a whole and of the North Atlantic fail to show any warming over the past decade, a period when ARGO floats have measured subsurface
temperatures, providing reasonably complete coverage of the global
oceans?
