We might expect «global warming» (i.e., an increase in average surface air temperatures over a few decades) to lead to a rise in global mean sea levels.

Land surface air temperatures there effectively stopped warming around 1998.

The corrections are independent of the land - surface air temperature data.

The analyses of this new study do not show a slowdown in the rate of global surface air temperature increase.

It may be a consequence of a period in which surface air temperature rose faster over land than it did over sea.

The study puts a widely reported «hiatus» in global surface air temperatures since 1998 into context.

However, more station data became available; also, ocean data became available whose anomalies were used to estimate surface air temperature anomalies over the oceans.

Note that focusing on surface air temperatures misses more than 90 % of the overall warming of the planet.

Not surprisingly, given that the surface ocean is responsible for much of atmospheric warming, ocean warming and global surface air temperatures vary largely in phase with one another.
