In fact, it can generally be a complex number with both a «real» part that's an ordinary number and an «imaginary» part that's multiplied by the square root of one.

Now that I'm a real doctor, the kind my father so wanted me to be, I am practicing the art of medicine, although I still occasionally ask whether patients know the square root of two during mental - status exams; once I even found a patient who knew Ohm's law.

Instead of being measured with real numbers, though, we measure complex manifolds with complex numbers, in which one of the coordinates includes a real number multiplied by the square root of negative 1 — an imaginary number that we call i. [Since the product of two negative numbers is positive, ordinary math suggests the square root of negative 1 can not exist — hence the moniker «imaginary.»]

So every real number is rational in the surreal system, even the square root of 2 — just write it as (√ 2ω) / ω.

One could argue that real SST measurements aren't quite so well - behaved, but it is possible to show (see Figure 11 of the HadSST2 paper, Rayner et al. 2006 for details) that the standard deviation of grid box averages falls roughly as one over the square root of the number of contributing observations and that the standard deviation for gridbox averages based on a single observation is a lot less than 10 degrees.
