«NASA has access to large - scale oceanographic data sets ranging from primary productivity to ocean temperature, currents and wind,» Moore said.

When I reviewed the ocean temperature data sets back in 2003 through 2005 that appeared to have been data taken in the N. Atlantic above the 30th parallel, with an indication of cooling in the 2300 to 1700 meter range.

Very recent, wide ranging review of temperature measurements in the oceans with a detailed discussion of the accuracy of the data, planetary energy balance and the effect of the warming on sea levels.

Which implies that since the late» 40's - early» 50's we have had a data collection system deployed capable of measuring and tracking the annual TEMPERATURE of the top 2000 meters of the oceans of the world (necessary to calculate its heat content)-- all of them — with a precision and accuracy in the millidegree range.

According to data from the reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium - Range Weather Forecasts, the January to October combined land and ocean global average temperature would place 2014 as third or fourth highest for this dataset, which runs from 1958.

Do I really believe that a $ 15k float, running unattended and uncalibrated in the open ocean will produce temperature data over an expected temperature range of 0 - 30 C with 5 millidegree error bounds over its operational life (4 + / - years)?

C: increase in atmospheric CO2 from pre-industrial to present is anthropogenic (D / A) S: best guess for likely climate sensitivity (NUM) s: 2 - sigma range of S (NUM) a: ocean acidification will be a problem (D / A) L: expected sea level rise by 2100 in cm (all contributions)(NUM) B: climate change will be beneficial (D / A) R: CO2 emissions need to be reduced drastically by 2050 (D / A) T: technical advances will take care of any problems (D / A) r: the 20th century global temperature record is reliable (D / A) H: over the last 1000 years global temperature was hockey stick shaped (D / A) D: data has been intentionally distorted by scientist to support the idea of anthropogenic climate change (D / A) g: the CRU - mails are important for the science (D / A) G: the CRU - mails are important otherwise (D / A)

To estimate the uncertainty range (2σ) for mean tropical SST cooling, we consider the error contributions from (a) large - scale patterns in the ocean data temperature field, which hamper a direct comparison with a coarse - resolution model, and (b) the statistical error for each reconstructed paleo - temperature value.

Kevin C's excellent trend tool shows us what the new data mean for the surface temperature trend since 1970: it's about +0.17 C per decade, but there's a range in that because short term wiggles are caused by things like the El Nino - La Nina cycle in the Pacific which warm or cool the atmosphere by storing or releasing heat from the oceans.

The dust − temperature relationships for the Southern Ocean and Chinese Loess are shown in Fig. 3 B and C. To further minimize possible issues connected with time scales, data uncertainty, and uneven data distribution across temperature ranges, we collect the dust deposition − temperature data points for each data set combination in Fig. 3 into four bins (see Materials and Methods).

Other data sets such as ocean heat content, sea ice extent, whatever, are not sufficiently mature or long - range... Further, the surface temperature is most relevant to climate change impacts, since humans and land ecosystems live on the surface.»
