OVERVIEW This post illustrates Gulf of Mexico Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data and discusses the post by Jeff Masters at his www.wunderground.com blog in which he states that April 2011 Gulf of Mexico SST anomalies are “among the highest on … Continue reading →

NINO3.4 NINO3.4 SST anomalies for the week centered on April 20, 2011 show that central equatorial Pacific SST anomalies are approaching ENSO-neutral temperatures. They’re at approximately -0.57 deg C. NINO3.4 SST Anomalies – Short-Term

UPDATE (April 23, 2011): I’ve added an addition discussion of the delayed rebound effect at the end of the post. OVERVIEW Judith Curry’s post Earth’s Energy Imbalance is an introduction to the Hansen et al (2011) paper “Earth’s Energy Imbalance … Continue reading →

THE INDIAN AND ATLANTIC OCEANS  INTRODUCTION  This post is a continuation of Part 1 – Satellite-Era Sea Surface Temperature Versus IPCC Hindcast/Projections.  It examines the differences between multi-model mean of the IPCC 20C3M (Hindcast)/SRES A1B (Projection) for Sea Surface Temperatures and … Continue reading →

CHANGES TO MONTHLY UPDATE POSTS I’ve changed the longitude used as the boundary between the Indian and South Pacific Oceans from 145E to 120E. With the Indian Ocean data extending north to 30N, the eastern boundary of 145E was picking … Continue reading →

GLOBAL AND PACIFIC OCEAN SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE NOTE: REFER TO UPDATE AT THE END OF THE POST OVERVIEW This series of posts examines the differences between multi-model mean of the IPCC 20C3M (Hindcast)/SRES A1B (Projection) data and the Reynolds OI.v2 … Continue reading →

Alternate Title Question: Why Are Global Sea Surface Temperatures Falling Short Of IPCC Projections? INTRODUCTION In this post I illustrate and discuss the relatively small rise in the Sea Surface Temperature anomalies (SST) of the East Pacific (from pole to pole) … Continue reading →
