Dan (# 52) also points out that the very same trends which we are seeing on
land are
showing up in temperature records at sea
and the atmosphere,
and as Spencer (# 1) points out, in boreholes,
and as I have pointed out, in the
ocean depths down to 1500 meters.
Take a 1 m ^ 2 piece of earth's
land,
and a 1 m ^ 2 piece of earth's
oceans and show the calcs for the column of atmosphere up to space.
Many of them
show obvious problems in the retrieval (i.e. huge jumps at the
land /
ocean or
ocean / ice edge)
and I have yet to see what the weighting kernel is or any ground truthing.
After a few years, you can
show people that Arctic used to be this beautiful silver
land, you can play kai on it like people in video.Earth is deversity, have
ocean, grass
land, desert, wetland, now have silver ice
land, but in the future, maybe we will lose the beautiful silver ice
land and we use buoy to
show «Arctic was here».
That said, the independent
ocean and land data
show roughly consistent warming rates.
[Response: I would point out that if you look at the combined
ocean and land data for the tropics (available at the GISS web site), the
ocean (still part of the surface after all)
shows significant
and widespread warming.
Researchers
show that the way we treat the
land,
and the consequent effect on the
oceans, is a big reason for the decline of coral reefs.
The graphs on the right
show the mean carbon uptake by
land and ocean for each latitude line corresponding with the adjacent maps.
It is probable, however, that at least part of that discrepancy is due to an under reporting of observed trends as
shown by Cowtan
and Wray,
and by the recent Best global (
land plus
ocean) tempertature record.
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.
Scientific observations
show that
ocean acidification is already occurring around the globe
and is amplified in some coastal regions by changing
ocean circulation, pollution,
and land management practices.
Figure 1
shows the change in the world's air temperature averaged over all the
land and ocean between 1975
and 2008.
Let us therefore compare satellite data (UAH6.0) with surface data (GISTEMP
Land /
Ocean) measured for the Southern Hemisphere (SH), from 1979 till 2015: You hopefully see like me a good correlation between the two,
shown by both linear estimates
and 60 month running means.
Coverage bias estimates are
shown for both HadCRUT versions using the GISTEMP
land -
ocean series
and the UAH series to provide the temperature maps.
The charts I mention below
show that the
ocean temperature rise is following, in a delayed
and muted manner, the trend of the
land surface in the so far small increase in median temperatures, with an obvious trend linked to Human Population.
Global
land /
ocean temperature records from NOAA, NASA, Berkeley Earth, Hadley / UAE,
and Cowtan
and Way
show no detectable sign of a «pause» in warming through to the present.
Frankly, I do not know if this is relevant, but after staring at hundreds of
land (
and some
ocean and some satellite where applicable) temperature graphs, many from around Australia, there are 4 persistent peaks that
show hot years about 28 years apart.
The clear correlation between the net displacement of
ocean water mass to
land and the lower sea level during the last La Nina is a dynamical connection,
showing far more than just «trend».
Just comparing global
land and ocean doesn't
show much, you need to compare regions then you see a
land amplification that «highlights»
ocean oscillations.
So, you now have to
show not only that visible light is heating
land and oceans at the equator, you have to resolve how this 1 % shortwave infrared «does most of the heating».
Other SAT data sets such as the Climatic Research Unit Temperature, version 4, (CRUTEM4; Osborn
and Jones 2014),
and the Merged
Land —
Ocean Surface Temperature analysis (MLOST), version 3.5, (Vose et al. 2012) give similar results (not
shown).
But unlike the
land surface, the atmosphere has
shown no warming trend, either over
land or over
ocean — according to satellites
and independent data from weather balloons.
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 maps
show the temperature of most of the northern hemisphere centred on the North Atlantic
and cover the bulk of the northern hemisphere
land masses
and the northernmost section of the Atlantic
Ocean.
A Landsat 7 satellite image
shows the tongue of the Malaspina Glacier, the largest glacier in Alaska
and the largest piedmont glacier — a glacier that ends on flat
land rather than in the
ocean — in the world.
Empirical data for the CO2 «airborne fraction», the ratio of observed atmospheric CO2 increase divided by fossil fuel CO2 emissions,
show that almost half of the emissions is being taken up by surface (terrestrial
and ocean) carbon reservoirs [187], despite a substantial but poorly measured contribution of anthropogenic
land use (deforestation
and agriculture) to airborne CO2 [179], [216].

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.
Nuccitelli et al. (2012) considered the warming of the
oceans (both shallow
and deep),
land, atmosphere,
and ice,
and showed that global warming has not slowed in recent years (Figure 3).
For ERA - Interim, the values
shown are the analyzed 2 - m temperature anomalies for both

2014 was not a record for global
land areas [4th only] 2014 was not a record for the entire
land oceans for Southern Hemisphere (2nd only) It was a record only for Northern Hemisphere
oceans SST anomalies
and only the North Pacific
showed extra warming mostly as
shown on Bob Tisdale's monthly reports of
Ocean SST's The North Pacific SST has risen steadily from an anomaly of about 0.3 C in 2010 to almost 0.7 C in 2014.
In truth, even if Christmas does bring warmth, it won't matter a whit,
and not because the true measurements — based on comprehensive satellite readings rather than from a scattering of thermometers on
land and ocean buoys —
show 2014 to be nowhere near setting records.
