Argo And Ocean Heat Content
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Today I ran across an interesting presentation from 2013 regarding the Argo floats. These are a large number of independent floats spread all across the world…
Finally Some Reality from RealClimate – But, Unfortunately, They Remained Unreal about Some Things
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale The post Ocean heat storage: a particularly lousy policy target + Update at RealClimate finally presented a few realities of the global-warming metric known as…
With ARGO, There is a Wide Range Warming (and Cooling) Rates of the Oceans to Depths of 2000 Meters
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale The KNMI Climate Explorer has added a number of datasets to their Monthly observations webpage, where users select desired data based on global coordinates. (Many…
The "heat went to the oceans" excuse and Trenberth's missing heat is AWOL – deep ocean has not warmed since 2005
The Sceptical Science kidz and Trenberth think that the deep ocean has absorbed all the heat that isn’t showing up in the atmosphere, and that’s [why] we have “the pause”.…
'Missing heat' in the Atlantic – It doesn't work like that
Guest essay by David Archibald President Obama didn’t start the war on coal. That war had its origins back in the 1970s. The nuclear industry joined the fray in 1982…
Will the Next El Niño Bring an End to the Slowdown in Global Surface Warming?
Rebuttal to Chen and Tung (2014) highlighted in “Cause for ‘The Pause’ #38 – Cause of global warming hiatus found deep in the Atlantic Ocean” Numerous scientific papers have reported…
Cause for 'The Pause' #38 – Cause of global warming hiatus found deep in the Atlantic Ocean
From the University of Washington and the department of Trenberth’s missing heat comes a claim that we’ll have to wait another 15 years for global warming to resume. Sounds like…
Deep Oceans Are Cooling Amidst A Sea of Modeling Uncertainty: New Research on Ocean Heat Content
Guest essay by Jim Steele, Director emeritus Sierra Nevada Field Campus, San Francisco State University and author of Landscapes & Cycles: An Environmentalist’s Journey to Climate Skepticism Two of the…
Subaqueous volcanism: ocean vents and faulty climate models
WUWT reader Pethefin writes: Finally someone addresses the really big elephant in the room: the ocean vents and their role in climate modelling: I covered this possibility in a previous…
Eruptions and Ocean Heat Content
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I was out trolling for science the other day at the AGW Observer site. It’s a great place, they list lots and lots of science…
Elements of the 1997 Super El Niño seem to be repeating now in the Western Pacific
Could we be in for a Super El Niño this year like the one in 1997/98? Dr. Ryan Maue is seeing hints of a beginning in ocean heat content satellite…
Open Letter to Kevin Trenberth – NCAR

New CERES Data and Ocean Heat Content
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach We have gotten three more years of data for the CERES dataset, which is good, more data is always welcome. However, one of the sad…
Ocean Heat Content Variations—Satellites vs Oceanographers
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to looking at the numbers for how much energy is exported from the tropics each month by this great heat engine we call…
If Manmade Greenhouse Gases Are Responsible for the Warming of the Global Oceans…
…then why do the vertical mean temperature anomalies (NODC 0-2000 meter data) of the Pacific Ocean as a whole and of the North Atlantic fail to show any warming over…
More on Trenberth and Fasullo (2013) “An Apparent Hiatus in Global Warming?”
We discussed the Trenberth and Fasullo (2013) paper “An Apparent Hiatus in Global Warming?” in the recent post Trenberth and Fasullo Try to Keep the Fantasy Alive. Since then, Dana…
Trenberth and Fasullo Try to Keep the Fantasy Alive
Trenberth and Fasullo published a paper “An Apparent Hiatus in Global Warming?” last week in the new online journal Earth’s Future. Judith Curry briefly introduced the paper in her December…
Comments on Stefan Rahmstorf’s Post at RealClimate “What ocean heating reveals about global warming”
I was recently asked to comment on Stefan Rahmsorf’s post What ocean heating reveals about global warming at RealClimate. There is a link to a pdf edition of this post…
New paper shows Medieval Warm Period was global in scope
Andrew Revkin writes: Michael Mann can’t be happy about this work. Here’s a chat with two authors of an important new Science paper examining 10,000 years of layered fossil plankton…
Dana Nuccitelli Can’t Come to Terms with the Death of the AGW Hypothesis
Dana Nuccitelli published an article today in The Guardian Does the global warming “pause” mean what you think it means?…a play off a line by Inigo Montoya from “The Princess…
Reactions to 'the pause': Grasping at strawmen in hidey holes
It has been quite entertaining to watch the various explanations coming out to rationalize “the pause” in surface temperatures for the last 16 years. For example, as Jerome Ravetz points…
Rough Estimate of the Annual Changes in Ocean Temperatures from 700 to 2000 Meters Based on NODC Data
OVERVIEW In a number of posts, we’ve discussed and illustrated the difficulties with ocean heat content data. (There are links to those earlier posts at the end of this one.)…
Forcing The Ocean To Confess
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach According to the current climate paradigm, if the forcing (total downwelling energy) increases, a combination of two things happens. Some of the additional incoming energy…
