Studies of historical records in India suggest that reduced monsoon rainfall in central India has occurred when the sea surface temperatures in specific regions of the Pacific Ocean were warmer than normal.

``... In particular, there was a period in the late - 1980s and early - 1990s when retreat slowed down along most of the coast, and we don't see any cause for this in the temperature records — so there may be some other factors at work, perhaps ocean temperature.»

The only time period that remotely resembles the ocean changes happening today, based on geologic records, was 56 million years ago when carbon mysteriously doubled in the atmosphere, global temperatures rose by approximately six degrees and ocean pH dropped sharply, driving up ocean acidity and causing a mass extinction among single - celled ocean organisms.

The 10 highest three - month temperature departures in the record have all occurred since July — September 2015, when strong El Niño conditions were in place in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

The 10 highest three - month temperature departures in the record have all occurred since August — October 2015, when a strong El Niño episode was in place in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

The paleoclimate record (8.2 kyr, and earlier «large lake collapses») shows a dramatic drop in surface temperatures for a substantial period of time when the ocean circulation shuts off or changes, but is that actually what would be expected under these warming conditions?

There is a difference between peaks and valleys in noisy processes (1998 surface air temperature, 2007 record minimum ice, or shipping at a few small areas on the edges of the Arctic ocean) and CO2 forcing driven trends, especially when different measures.

During the so - called Holocene Climate Optimum, from approximately 8000 to 5000 years ago, when the temperatures were somewhat warmer than today, there was significantly less sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, probably less than 50 % of the summer 2007 coverage, which is absolutely lowest on record.

When it comes to Earth's warming climate, record - breaking surface temperatures make the headlines — but the full depths of the world's oceans bear the brunt of the change.

With respect to ENSO, when anyone attempts to remove ENSO from the instrument temperature record, they're removing the signal primarily from the East Pacific Ocean and other parts of the globe where temperature responds linearly to the ENSO index.

How meaningful is that when the records are 0.01 * C and the accuracy of global temperatures with little arctic, little anarctic, Africa, Asia, South Atlantic and Pacific Ocean observations?

The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean magnetic field strength of the earth (magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.

That is what the temperature sensors record as an increase in ocean surface temperature when IR increases such as when a cloud passes over (just like CO2, clouds re-radiate energy downwards to the surface).

The Karl study looked mostly at ocean temperature records several decades old and determined that those older readings skewed too warm when compared to modern monitoring from buoys and other devices because they were taken in ships» engine rooms.

Why would anyone expect climate model simulations of the global temperature record to predict the «pause», when ocean models are not specifically set up to have the necessary capability to model such large - scale incursions of deep - ocean cold water.

You state «Why would anyone expect climate model simulations of the global temperature record to predict the «pause», when ocean models are not specifically set up to have the necessary capability to model such large - scale incursions of deep - ocean cold water.
