Quick update on lag between SST and AMSU 600 mb with daily data
The lag between SST and TLT was discussed here, as it would seem to have important consequences when trying to estimate the overall climate feedback (and hence sensitivity) from surface temperatures....
View ArticleGISS-ER and Ocean Heat Content
A while back, there was quite a “kerfluffle” (as Lucia called it) regarding the comparisons between the GISS model projections for Ocean Heat Content (OHC) and those calculated by NODC. However, the...

As I mentioned in my last post, the GISS-ER projections for ocean heat content did not seem to include any period of flattening like we’ve seen between 2003 and the present, so I wanted to see if some...

In my first post on GISS-ER Ocean Heat Content projections, Bob Tisdale asked me if I could show the hindcast data as well. This included 9 runs of GISS-ER for the 20th century experiment, which I...

In a previous post on Dessler 2011, I commented that the paper had a few important errors within it, most notably an incorrect use of the ocean mixed layer heat capacity to show that the forcings from...
