Much of the recent sea ice loss is attributed to warmer sea surface temperatures with southerly wind anomalies a contributing cause [Francis and Hunter, 2007; Sorteberg and Kvingedal, 2006], with thermodynamic coupling leading to associated increases in atmospheric moisture.»

It could very well be that general warming along with high sea - surface temperatures have lengthened the tropical storm season, making it more likely that a Sandy could form, travel so far north, and have an opportunity to interact with a deep jet - stream trough associated with the strong block, which is steering it westward into the mid-Atlantic.

The idea is, if the change in surface temperature over that period is affected by changes in cloud cover, but changes of the surface temperature associated with the ocean warming are small, then changes in cloud cover must be driving the present global warming.

The strong influence of natural variability on surface air temperatures is the reason that climate researchers regularly point out that any record shorter than around 20 - 30 years is not useful for detecting long - term trends associated with anthropogenic warming.

There are secular changes in cloud associated with variable sea surface temperature — that vary from weeks to millennia creating warmer or cooler surface conditions.
