She studied historical fish
records and found that of 36 northwest Atlantic species, almost half had moved northward in 40 years as
water temperatures warmed.
Ironically, if the lakes enter the fall with
record warm temperatures, it could herald an above - average season for lake effect snow, which occurs when cold, dry air blows across large expanses of comparatively milder
waters.
Long continuous
records of
temperature and salinity at Ocean Weather Station M in the Norwegian Sea indicate that the deep
water has also
warmed noticeably.
Climate models, on the other hand, have a successful track
record — look at the melting Arctic,
warming around Antarctica, the surface
temperature, the
water feedback effect, the reduction in mountain glaciers... etc..
However, at the same time, there's been the steady increase in subtropical ocean surface
temperatures in the Atlantic
Warm Pool, leading to
record water temperatures off the US east coast in winter, which tends to fuel more extreme storms (via the increase in
water vapor pressure over the
warmer ocean).
These
record temperatures have been assisted by a very strong El Niño event, which brought
warm water to the ocean surface, temporarily
warming global surface
temperatures.
as to
warming in New Zealand see the article by Barry Brill May 15, 2010 The
warming that wasn't... «The official archivist of New Zealand's climate
records, the National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), offers top billing to its 147 - year - old national mean
temperature series (the «NIWA Seven - station Series» or NSS).
In recent years, Maine lobstermen have reported
record lobster catches, which researchers believe may be related to
warmer water temperatures in the south that force lobsters north as well as fewer predators in the Gulf, like cod, which have been in decline due to overfishing.
Warm water in the tropical Pacific Ocean
warmed up the atmosphere and drove
record high
temperatures (see 1998 in the satellite

''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy
temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic
waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest
temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two
warm intervals, of course, were the colder
temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy
record of near - surface
water temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale
temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»
Nor have you produced or cited a single study which shows from world
temperature and precipitation
records that
water vapour could
warm the surface.
There is compelling empirical evidence in
temperature records (analysed here) that
water vapour cools and can not
warm the Earth's surface.
«With global
temperatures warmer now than they were at the beginning of the last century, that means our
temperatures are
warmer too, which increases the rate of evaporation and increases the demands on
water, increases the stress on the
water supply, and also leaves us more susceptible to breaking the high -
temperature record, which we've been doing lately,» Nielsen - Gammon said.

This storm's tropical nature, in combination with
record -
warm water temperatures just offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, are creating a nearly perfect environment for extremely heavy rain and
record flooding in one of the wettest places in the country.
In the past, as PopSci previously reported, most ocean
temperature data was taken by ships which pulled
water into their engine rooms — rooms
warmer than the ocean outside, making ocean
temperature recordings slightly higher.
«Driven by exceptionally
warm ocean
waters, Earth smashed a
record for heat in May and is likely to keep on breaking high
temperature marks, experts say.
Even before Indiana's top enforcer of federal and state environmental regulations was advising coal companies on how to continuing polluting our air and
water, it appears that denial of basic climate science is the state's official position on global
warming — Indiana's 2011 «State of the Environment» report rehashes tired climate denier arguments such as global
temperature records having «no appreciable change since about 1998.»
By assuming a uniform
warming rate everywhere and only using a short
temperature record, they underpredict the true long - term equilibrium sensitivity by underestimating the
water vapor feedback.
Last year was the hottest since
records began and with an El Nino now under way the
warm surface
waters of the Pacific are releasing heat into the atmosphere with the result 2015 is likely to break last year's

The main claim in REA16 is that, in models, surface air -
temperature warming over 1861 - 2009 is 24 % greater than would be
recorded by HadCRUT4 because it preferentially samples slower -
warming regions and
water warms less than air.
