According to a recent study, climate models overestimate southern ocean surface heating, because they underestimate the impact of storms.

Solar Cycles in 150 Years of Global Sea Surface Temperature Data?
It is often thought that the response to solar cycle is too weak at the surface to be detectable, and that even if a signal is claimed to have been…
What is the Global Average SST?
By Andy May The global average SST (Sea Surface Temperature) is a very important component of the global average surface temperature for the simple reason that the global ocean covers…
Sea Surface Temperature Blues
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Over in the X-Twitterverse, I see that Roger Hallam (@RogerHallamCS21) is doing his very best to scare people. Here’s his xtweet: If ever there was…
Sea Surface Temperatures: West Versus East Coast
El Nino is dead. Long live La Nina, its frigid cousin!
What’s causing the extremely warm temperatures in the North Atlantic?
The extreme North Atlantic conditions that developed in recent months are likely due to a combination of dynamical factors, including stochastic weather anomalies, regional positive feedbacks and global-scale changes
Ocean Surface Temperature Limit-Part 3
Climate models are based on a flawed assumption. Until they can replicate the actual physics of deep convection tightly linked to surface temperature rather than the naive parameterisation of clouds…
Ocean Surface Temperature Limit-Part 2
The surface temperature in the Persian Gulf has been observed to reach 307K in August but examining the atmospheric profile shows the mid-level moisture content is too low to create…
Ocean Surface Temperature Limit-Part 1
The response of the temperature limiting process over tropical warm pools can be observed in hourly intervals when the warm pools exist at the tropical moored buoys.
Southeast Greenland Sea Surface Temperature 1° – 2°C Warmer In 1940 Than Today, New Study Shows
Today some scientists like claiming the present is warmer than at any time in the past 1000 years and suggest the Greenland ice sheets are rapidly melting. But the results…
Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Back in 2015 in a post called “Noise Assisted Data Analysis“, I described a way to decompose a signal into its underlying components. It’s known…
A Chain Of Effects
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach In looking at the climate I’m often reminded of Sufi stories. The Sufis are an ancient mystical sect. They are often associated with Islam, and…
A Sea-Surface Temperature Picture Worth a Few Hundred Words!

Nothing Unprecedented about The Sea Surface Temperatures for Hurricane Florence’s Storm Track
Guest essay by Bob Tisdale It’s been a couple of weeks since Hurricane Florence made landfall as a Category 1 storm. The weakening from a Category 4 storm must’ve really tweaked…

Bucket list: Historic global ocean temperature data – the missing pedigree is a comedy of errors
By Hartmut Hoecht 1. Introduction This paper addresses the glaring disregard within the scientific community in addressing thermal data errors of global ocean probing. Recent and older records are compiled…
A Hard Rain's Gonna Chill
I was re-reading an old post of mine entitled “How Thunderstorms Beat The Heat“. I say “re-reading” because I couldn’t remember writing some parts of it. Yes, it was…
