Global time series
of satellite sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly, in comparison with a climate data record from the UK Hadley Centre.
Featuring large in the misrepresentated data is the laughable attempt by Tony Heller to graft
on satellite Sea Ice Extent data onto Vinnikov et al (1980) Figure 5 (or more exactly Hoffert & Flannery (1985) fig 5.2).
Oceanographers commonly calculate large scale surface ocean circulation
from satellite sea level information using a concept called «geostrophy,» which describes the relationship between oceanic surface flows and sea level gradient.
While
examining satellite sea ice data, Nighat Amin of the International Polar Foundation spotted that a 70 km2 iceberg had calved off the tip of the King Baudouin Ice Shelf in...
NOAA's Coral Reef Watch (CRW) developed and maintains a suite of
operational satellite sea surface temperature (SST)- based products that provide coral bleaching nowcasts and alerts [10].
To that end, they combined data they collected in 1999 and 2000
with satellite sea surface topography information provided by Robert Leben of the University of Colorado.
As can be seen from the map above, much of the route taken by Amundsen and his crew in their 1903 - 06 expedition was beyond the 1979
satellite sea ice extent.
However, in areas where motion is dominated by internal waves,
satellite sea level can only be used to infer motion on a very large scale (resolution of 125 miles).
This is probably best illustrated in the figure below, where the authors apply their method of analysis to
the satellite sea surface height (SSH) data (AVISO):
Here, we show that much of the increase in the reported trend occurred due to the previously undocumented effect of a change in the way
the satellite sea ice observations are processed for the widely used Bootstrap algorithm data set, rather than a physical increase in the rate of ice advance....
The adjustments also completely contradict
the satellite sea surface temperature measurements that actually do have global coverage and are not manually manipulated post hoc.
Linear trends are appropriate for the time period after 1990 where the data are described well by a linear trend plus interannual noise (that's why we show a linear trend for
the satellite sea level in our paper), but they don't capture the longer - term climate evolution very well, e.g. the nearly flat temperatures up to 1980.
Acceleration
the satellite sea level record imminent.
0.3 mm of
the satellite sea level rise is virtual (CGSLR).
This image obtained Nov. 16, 2015, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows
the satellite sea surface temperature departure for the month of October 2015, where orange - red colors are above normal temperatures and are indicative of El Niño.
