This demonstrates how longer periods of observation, along with the complete ARGO network, are critical to derive more accurate long - term ocean trends.
But I thought that the lower atmosphere was expected to warm faster than the surface (when comparing global, land + ocean trends).
I don't know if there may be something to accounting for surface / ocean trends on decadal scales, but I was interested in the possibility in light of the recent «haiatus» in surface temperatures.

Actually I've reread Gavin's letter to Klotzbach a little more carefully and he gives the GISS - ER figures: As might be expected, the land temperatures rise faster than the global mean or ocean values (0.26 deg C / dec vs. 0.17 deg C / dec and 0.14 deg C / dec) So land to ocean trend ratios are: GISS - ER: 1.9 (1979 - 2005) SAT obs (1979 - 2008) HadCru: 1.6 GisTemp: 2.3 NCDC: 2.8

Given population and ocean trends, the world is likely to see more such imagery in years to come.
Rather than reporting the change in trend for the HadSST series that had been illustrated in the first two figures of the realclimate post (SST series had been at issue in Thompson et al 2008 and the subsequent discussion), Schmidt estimated changes in trend for HadCRU by combining the HadSST changes with unchanging CRUTEM (70 % HadSST; 30 % CRUTEM), only reporting the decrease in land - and - ocean trend (and not the decrease in SST trend.)
