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…

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…

With Florence approaching, Sea Surface Temperatures have been exceeded in the past, as far back as the 1860s
Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies of the Patch of Warmer-Than-Normal Waters in the North Atlantic Guest essay by Bob Tisdale With Hurricane/Tropical Storm Florence approaching the continental United States, the patch of…
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…
Gulf Summers Aren’t Global Averages: A Reply to Farron Cousins
Alan Reynolds, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute DeSmogBlog contributor Farron Cousins writes, “Newsweek Gives Cato Institute Climate Denier A Platform.” That means my piece, “Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Can’t Be Blamed…
El Niño WATCH cancelled; ENSO neutral likely for 2017
From the “now the warmest year on record hopes are dashed” department: Via Bloomberg: All eight climate models surveyed by Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology suggest tropical Pacific Ocean temperatures are…
Claim: El Niño and global warming combine to cause record-breaking heat in Southeast Asia
From the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN and the “what if it’s only El Niño, then what?” department: Scientists at The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) have found that a…
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,…
