From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who read my work may recall my post called \u201cMunging the Sea Level Data<\/a>\u201c. In it, I showed that the apparent acceleration in the satellite sea level was merely an artifact of the combining of the four satellite records, viz:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the obvious differences between the first and last halves of the record, scientists merely spliced them together and obscured the splice. My conclusion in that post was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

There\u2019s no evidence of any acceleration in the rate of sea-level rise in either the tide gauge or the shabbily-spliced satellite records.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today I stumbled across a paper published in Nature magazine entitled A revised acceleration rate from the altimetry-derived global mean sea level record<\/a>. Care to guess what the paper says?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yep. You\u2019re right. They conclude that once they took a hard look at the satellite records, the problem was disagreement between the satellites \u2026 and once they applied their correction methods to the TOPEX satellite records, they found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Based on four different weighting methods used in a tide-gauge comparison it is determined that TOPEX is drifting and not ERS. Therefore, we suggest to calibrate the TOPEX GMSL record with the crossover of ERS1&2 after the removal of cal-1. The calibration reduces the observed acceleration in GMSL, so that it becomes statistically equivalent to zero at the 95%-confidence level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The observed acceleration in satellite-observed GMSL (global mean sea level) is \u201cstatistically equivalent to zero\u201d \u2026 go figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Here where I live on the northern California coast, we\u2019re getting the blessing of an \u201catmospheric river\u201d, which is a phenomenon where lots of moisture comes from the tropics up to the west coast in a narrow band. It used to be called the \u201cPineapple Express\u201d, but I suppose that was determined to be racist against pineapples or something \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the several years of the recent drought, this is more than welcome. We got 3-1\/2 inches (9 cm) of rain yesterday, with more expected tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, wet blessings to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
