Do the Adjustments to Sea Surface Temperature Data Lower the Global Warming Rate?
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale Quick answer: Over the long term, the answer is yes, but for shorter terms it depends on the sea surface temperature dataset and time period.…
Tracking 'marine heatwaves' since 1950 — and how the 'blob' stacks up
From the University of Washington Unusually warm oceans can have widespread effects on marine ecosystems. Warm patches off the Pacific Northwest from 2013 to 2015, and a couple of years…

THE BLOB Seems to Be Disappearing at the Surface – But Will It Reemerge?
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale Sad to say, I suspect it may reemerge at the surface…maybe not as strong as in the past, but I don’t think it’s going to…
Pause Buster SST Data: Has NOAA Adjusted Away a Relationship between NMAT and SST that the Consensus of CMIP5 Climate Models Indicate Should Exist?

North Pacific Update: The Blob’s Strengthening Suggests It’s Not Ready to Depart
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale This post provides an update of the unusual warming event in the sea surfaces of the eastern extratropical North Pacific…what is now regularly called “The…
'Warm blob' in Pacific Ocean not caused by climate change, affects U.S. weather
From the University of Washington: ‘Warm blob’ in Pacific Ocean linked to weird weather across the US The one common element in recent weather has been oddness. The West Coast…
Alarmists Bizarrely Claim “Just what AGW predicts” about the Record High Global Sea Surface Temperatures in 2014

Has NOAA Once Again Tried to Adjust Data to Match Climate Models?
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale The topic of discussion is their new sea surface temperature dataset, ERSST.v4. Based on a breakpoint analysis recently promoted by RealClimate, NOAA appears to have…
Quick Look at the DATA for the New NOAA Sea Surface Temperature Dataset
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale UPDATE: There was an error in the November 2014 update of the ERSST.v4 sea surface temperature data supplied by NOAA. It impacted the data presented…
Researchers Find Northeast Pacific Surface Warming (1900-2012) Caused By Changes in Atmospheric Circulation, NOT Manmade Forcings
