Yet another mystery for the settled science.
Ocean Atmosphere Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere
How can climate models hope to reflect the real world when clouds are parameterised with no sensitivity to surface temperature?
Oceanic Warming? Well, sorta.
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach After my last post about the surface warming of the ocean, entitled “How Global Warming Isn’t“, I got to thinking about the warming of the…
The Ocean Warming Enigma
So the real question is what has caused sea temperatures to steadily rise since 1900? And if you think it is greenhouse gases, then you need to explain how these…
The Ocean Mixed Layer, SST, and Climate Change
By Andy May As described in my previous post, the ocean “mixed layer” is sandwiched between the very thin “skin” layer at the ocean surface and the deep ocean. The…
Ocean Temperature Update
By Andy May A considerable amount of new information on ocean temperature has been gathered since I last wrote about the subject in 2016 here. In my last post on…
Deep Ocean Warming in Degrees C
In recent weeks and months, there’s been a run of papers—with typical mainstream media misinforming embellishments—about improved estimates of the warming of the oceans…and blog posts about them. One thing…
Is ocean warming accelerating faster than thought? In a word, no.
by Nic Lewis There are a number of statements in Cheng et al. (2019) ‘How fast are the oceans warming’, (‘the paper’) that appear to be mistaken and/or potentially misleading.…
Media Reports of +40% Adjustment in Ocean Warming Were Greatly Exaggerated
From Dr Roy Spencer’s Blog January 16th, 2019 Summary: The recently reported upward adjustment in the 1971-2010 Ocean Heat Content (OHC) increase compared to the last official estimate from the…
The ‘Little Ice Age’ hundreds of years ago is STILL cooling the bottom of Pacific, researchers find
From The Daily Mail The Little Ice Age brought colder-than-average temps around the 17th century Researchers say temperatures in deep Pacific lag behind those at the surface As a result,…
Study reconstructing ocean warming finds ocean circulation changes may account for significant portion of sea level rise
Study suggests that in the last 60 years up to half the observed warming and associated sea level rise in low- and mid- latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean is due…

Friday Funny – Climate Central’s scare graph excuse: ‘The oceans ate the warming’
Sometimes, you just have to laugh at the sheer desperation of claims being made. Such is the case of the agitprop known as “Climate Central” which is privately funded to…
Claim: Oceans are warming rapidly, study says
From the INSTITUTE OF ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES and the “worse than we thought” mind of climate activist John Abraham comes this study, that frankly, isn’t very believable,…
Stokes and the "somehow" theory of ocean heat
A Correction – And Much More of the Answer Guest essay by Mike Jonas I think this post is a big deal. It’s not quite the answer to everything but,…

Ocean Heat: New Study Shows Climate Scientists Can Still Torture Data until the Data Confess
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale A week or so ago, a troll left a link at my blog (Thanks, David) to a supposed-to-be-alarming blog post about a new climate study…
Can We Tell If The Oceans Are Warming?
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, I was going to write about hourly albedo changes, honest I was, but as is often the case I got sidetractored. My great thanks…
Things In General
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach My business card gives my job title as “Generalist”. Let me give you an example of why this is an advantage in climate science. I worked…
