>To attempt to properly investigate the possible solar origin of the late 19th to early 20th century plunge in SST, total solar irradiance (TSI) cannot stand alone. The impact of volcanic aerosols must be included. I attempted to find a … Continue reading →

>Figures 1 to 5 are illustrations of Thermohaline Circulation (THC) readily found on the web. http://i32.tinypic.com/2rcle11.jpgFigure 1 http://i32.tinypic.com/11goop2.jpgFigure 2 http://i27.tinypic.com/293d4qh.jpgFigure 3 http://i31.tinypic.com/2cij6h.jpgFigure 4 http://i31.tinypic.com/2j64vau.jpgFigure 5 No two illustrations of THC are exactly the same, indicating the limits of our knowledge … Continue reading →

>The original intent of this post was to illustrate the time lags from the East Equatorial Pacific (NINO3 plus most of NINO4) to the West Equatorial Pacific (Pacific Warm Pool), the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean, but the absence … Continue reading →

>CORRECTION: In agreement with my post The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation – Correcting My Mistake, I have replaced this post, correcting the description of how the AMO is calculated. Refer to the replacement post Misunderstandings about the PDO – REVISED for … Continue reading →

>In a prior post “Equatorial SST Comparison”, the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (5S to 5N by 80 to 180W) displayed an oscillation that appeared to have an 11-year cycle, a solar signature. Refer to Figure 1, which has been smoothed with … Continue reading →

>Figure 1 is a global Mercator projection that shows how the data sets were divided in the following comparison. The primary reason for the illustration is to show where I split the Indian and Pacific Oceans. http://i28.tinypic.com/2dch4z5.jpgFigure 1 Figures 2 … Continue reading →

>No series of SST blog posts would be complete without a view of the Atlantic Ocean SST and Anomaly data. Refer to Figure 1, which illustrates Northern and Southern Hemisphere SST anomalies for the Atlantic, from January 1854 to May … Continue reading →

>UPDATE 3-28-09: As you will note, I stopped logging the SST posts on this thread back in December 2008. I have, however, continued to write posts on SST, sometimes using Hadley Centre data, sometimes using the NCDC’s OI.v2 data. Please … Continue reading →

>Figure 1 illustrates the Global and Mid-Latitude North Pacific SST Anomalies from January 1854 to May 2008. The data have been smoothed with a 37-month running-average filter, comparable to a 3-year filter. In Figure 2, the residual of those two … Continue reading →

>August 14,2009 Update: This is an early post in my SST research. I had made some assumptions in it that I do not agree with now, but I’ve elected not to delete the post because it illustrates some interesting correlations. … Continue reading →
