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…
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…
Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential – It’s All in the Presentation
UPDATE: If you’d like to contribute to the Philippine Red Cross you can do so here. # # # The warm-looking image on the left in Figure 1 is of…
About that missing hot spot in the upper troposphere
Climate Dialogue about the (missing) hot spot by Marcel Crok Over at the Climate Dialogue website we start with what could become a very interesting discussion about the so-called tropical…
NODC Provides 1st Quarter 2013 Ocean Heat Content Update & Alarmist Writes Science Fiction
This morning I found two emails in my inbox about an alarmist blog post that claims Big Jump in Ocean Warming, in response to the NODC’s recent quarterly update of…
Is Ocean Heat Content Data All It’s Stacked Up to Be?
Figure 1 Ocean Heat Content data represents the heat stored of the oceans to specified depths. As such, it is an important global warming metric. The Introduction to Levitus et…
The Missing Cashbox and the Nguru Patrol
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach This is a tale about one of the most beloved people in the Solomon Islands, my good friend Phil Palmer. Phil was white, but he…
Waste heat – a bigger climate effect than once thought
Dr. Roy Spencer recently opined about this issue (which is different from UHI) in: Waste Heat as a Contributor to Observed Warming If we divide that by the surface area of…
Isaac Held's 2-box model: another failed ocean-equilibration excuse for dismissing solar warming
Guest post by Alec Rawls Dr. Isaac Held, who models fluid dynamics at NOAA, dismisses a solar explanation for late 20th century warming by invoking a 2-box model of ocean…
A wave of heated peer pressure results in shrinking integrity
Over on the thread The folly of blaming the Eastern U.S. heat wave on global warming there is a lively discussion going on between people that think the Eastern US…
Pielke Sr. on that hide and seek ocean heat

Irene takes a bite out of ocean heat
While nowhere close to Trenberth’s missing heat, it’s a nice bite sized chunk of SST. Hurricanes are heat engines, transporting massive amounts of heat from lower to higher levels of…
Heated Climate Change Politics in the UK
Here’s a collection of excerpts and links from the UK. The ones at the very end are quite telling. h/t to Benny Peiser of the GWPF for their newsletter. –…
Some of the Missing Energy
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach The canonical equation describing the energy balance of the earth looks like this: ∆Q (energy added) = ∆U (energy lost) + ∆Ocean (energy moving in/out…
Examining Trenberth's 'The heat will come back to haunt us sooner or later' statement
Inspired by a WUWT comment from Bill Illis in the Maybe they’ve found Trenberth’s missing heat thread, I’ve elevated this to full post status and provided the relevant graphics from the…
GISS & METAR – dial "M" for missing minus signs: it's worse than we thought
Here’s a story about how one missing letter, an M, can wreck a whole month’s worth of climate data. It is one of the longest posts ever made on WUWT,…
Ocean Heat Content: cooling gone today with new adjustment
WUWT readers may recall last week that we had an excellent guest analysis by Bob Tisdale titled: Ocean Heat Content: Dropping again Easy come, easy go. The data has been changed.…
The Global Warming Hypothesis and Ocean Heat
Guest Post By William DiPuccio Albert Einstein once said, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” Einstein’s words express a foundational…
Recent Ocean Heat and MLO CO2 Trends
One of the great things about running this blog is that people send me things to look at. Sometimes I see connections between two things that were initially unrelated by…
Looking at thermometer placement and heat in the infrared
Google can be a great aid to serendipity. Doing some Googling the other day I was surprised to find a couple of my images from How not to measure temperature,…
