According to the paper,
warmer tropical waters since the mid-18th century can be the result of both natural variability and human - driven climate changes.
Not exact matches
Similar processes in the
tropical South Atlantic also contribute to the
warming of the North Atlantic,
since ocean currents carry the
warmer - than - normal surface
waters from the South Atlantic to the North Atlantic.

Since the variations in the Nino 3.4 index are indicative of the functioning of one of the Earth's major thermoregulating mechanisms, namely the giant El Nino / La Nina pump that magically materializes to move
warm tropical Pacific
water to the poles whenever the planet gets too hot and sweaty... then under what possible construction could the Nino 3.4 Index variations be called «noise»?»
Since the less than positive feedback of clouds in the tropics appears to be the reason that the
tropical troposphere hot spot signature of WMGHG
warming is missing which implies that the
water vapor and cloud feedbacks that are supposed to produce 2/3 of the GHG effect
warming are not following the game plan, Spencer et al., by averaging ever damn thing they would find that might possibly show the
tropical troposphere hot spot, are basically telling Trenberth and Dessler, «told ya so!»
De Witt, are you saying «THS???» because you don't know it stands for
tropical hot spot [which I can't believe] or because you don't get the connection between backradiation and a THS, which I understood to be the case because the Troposphere would
warm faster than the surface
since it is being heated by a
warmer surface, to wit, the surface of the planet which is getting
warmed by the aforesaid backradiation; and in addition to but not withstanding that the troposphere whould also rise which would be another aspect of the THS, with the final characteristic being that said THS would occur in the tropics where the
warming effect of extra
water would be most pronounced, also as a consequence of backradiation?
