Ray, I think Lee Grable's point is important: The fact that we use the term «global temperature» to mean the average temperature on a two - dimensional surface rather than the three - dimensional ocean plus land plus atmosphere system of the earth has the potential to allow confusion.

Second, as Gavin pointed out, the land - ocean temperature index tends to underestimate the truth because it's based on sea surface temperature rather than air temperature, while the meteorological - station index temperature tends to overestimate the truth because land warms faster than ocean.

My amateur spreadsheet tracking and projecting the monthly NASA GISS values suggests that while 2018 and 2019 are likely to be cooler than 2017, they may also be the last years on Earth with global average land and ocean surface temperature anomaly below 1C above pre-industrial average (using 1850 - 1900 proxy).

If we had better sea level rise data for the whole period, we might see that the heat storage curve into the ocean had a shape that better matched the simple function approximation than the land surface data does, or we might have better information on internal climate modes that confused or delayed the temperature response.

Others have identified the lags in the southern ocean (which warms more slowly than the northern hemisphere, and northern land in particular) as the source of this time dependence of feedbacks, and we've demonstrated that different forcings have subtly different impacts — to some extent based on their spatial signatures.

Overall, we expect land temperatures to rise substantially faster than ocean temperatures because of the lower heat capacity on land.

And if you plot the differential between NH ocean & land temperature, the warming since 1970 has been indeed higher on land than at sea, conforming with what should be there with this candidate BNO (P).

But even when carbon dioxide does make its way out of the atmosphere, Earth's natural systems can release other carbon dioxide molecules that were previously stored in the oceans / land back into the atmosphere, making the full effect of carbon dioxide emissions on surface temperatures much longer than this 5 - 200 year average.

This is because, in this region, wind power depends on the temperature difference between the land and the sea, and previous research has shown that warming occurs faster on land than above oceans.

Atmospheric CO2 might be at a different level on a mountain on an island in the middle of the ocean than they are in the middle of a continental land mass.

On average in 2017, land areas show more than twice as much warming as the ocean.

In summary the melting of land ice floating on the ocean will introduce a volume of water greater than that of the originally displaced sea water, hence raising the water level a little.

I would have thought that was a more reasonable view than a large coincidental natural fluctuation that somehow also more rapidly warmed the land, removed Arctic sea ice and raised ocean heat content while giving us the warmest decade on record.

After reading «Landscapes and Cycles: an Environmentalist's Journey to Climate Skepticism», I am convinced that Jim Steele's view of climate change caused by multiple factors, including naturally occurring cycles between warmth and cold in the world's oceans and changes in land use on a local scale, are a much more realistic explanation than the prevailing hypothesis.

The temperature rise on land is greater than in the oceans, greatly due to the oceans distribution of heat over the mixed layer thereby reducing the temperature rise.

Urban heat island effects are real but local, and have a negligible influence (less than 0.006 °C per decade over land and zero over the oceans) on these values.

On the other hand, the ocean moves around a lot more than the land does, in general.

In tranquil, well - behaved parts of the ocean like near the Galapagos, it would be probably easier to document changes in the carbon content of the upper ocean than it would be on land.

Global warming, which may have produced temperatures 10 to 30 degrees Celsius higher than today, would have had a significant impact both on oceans, where about 95 % of lifeforms became extinct, and on land, where almost 75 % of species died out.

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).

The greater thermal inertia of the Ocean means that temperature anomalies and extremes are lower than those seen on land.

Oceans have significantly more to do with climate than land by vurtue of their size (70 % of the earth's surface, and then Land contributes to the realities of climate based on the shape, size and locations of contineland by vurtue of their size (70 % of the earth's surface, and then Land contributes to the realities of climate based on the shape, size and locations of contineLand contributes to the realities of climate based on the shape, size and locations of continents.

There is much greater temperature variation on land than in the ocean, and a much greater variation on land which is distant from the ocean compared to the variation on land close to it.

Once Jones, Wigley, and Wright had made several of these kinds of corrections, they analyzed their data using a spatial averaging technique that placed measurements within grid cells on the earth?s surface in order to account for the fact that there were many more measurements taken on land than over the oceans.

A section on current conditions shows the last two months are characterized by relatively normal atmospheric conditions over the Arctic Ocean, but warmer than normal conditions over the subpolar seas and land around the Arctic Ocean.

That implies that land use CO2 sink enhancement might have a much greater impact on reducing atmospheric and ocean CO2 more quickly than radical scared out your knickers, economically damaging mitigation at all cost ala Greg the idiot Craven.

In the article and subsequent aimiable exchange with Nordhaus, Dyson touted no fewer than three possible crackpot mega-schemes as contingency «low - cost backstops» against global warming: «carbon - eating trees» covering fully a quarter of Earth's vegetated land mass, «carbon - eating phytoplankton in the oceans», and «snow - dumping in East Antarctica» (via «a giant array of tethered kites or balloons so as to block the westerly flow on one side only.»)

But between being sprayed on land and getting into the oceans it necessarily gets there by becoming water vapour — more water vapour than would have been there historically when there was no irrigation.

, so of course the adjustment needed was to make the less stepped on ocean observations (2/3 of earth) warmer rather than the land «data» (1/3) cooler.
