If we had better sea level rise
data for the whole period, we might see that the heat storage curve into the ocean had a shape that better matched the simple function approximation than the
land surface data does, or we might have better information on internal climate modes that confused or delayed the
temperature response.

Christy's concerns center on whether
land -

These issues, which are either not recognized at all in the assessments or are understated, include: - the identification of a warm bias in nighttime minimum
temperatures - poor siting of the instrumentation to measure
temperatures - the influence of trends in

temperature trends - the quantification of uncertainties in the homogenization of
surface temperature data, and the influence of
land use /
land cover change on
surface temperature trends.
So Australia's BOM

David, it would be more accurate to suggest that I thought satellite

I downloaded these

There is a major question in my mind of the wisdom of using a «global»

To clarify,
land temperature anomalies are recorded as
surface air
temperature, but ocean
temperature records are a more complex function that I believe also incorporates
data from the water
surface itself.
