class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With apologies to Paul Revere, this post is on the lookout for cooler weather with an eye on both the Land and the Sea.&nbsp; While you will hear a lot about 2020-21 temperatures matching 2016 as the highest ever, that spin ignores how fast the cooling set in.&nbsp; The UAH data analyzed below shows that warming from the last El Nino was fully dissipated with chilly temperatures in all regions. After a warming blip in 2022, land and ocean temps dropped again with 2023 starting below the mean since 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UAH has updated their tlt (temperatures in lower troposphere) dataset for March 2023. Posts on their reading of ocean air temps this month came ahead of updated records from HadSST4.&nbsp; I have previously posted on SSTs using HadSST4&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rclutz.com\/2023\/03\/22\/oceans-stay-cool-february-2023\/\"><strong>&nbsp;Oceans Stay Cool February 2023.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a>This month also has a separate graph of land air temps because the comparisons and contrasts are interesting as we contemplate possible cooling in coming months and years. Sometimes air temps over land diverge from ocean air changes.&nbsp; For example in February, Tropical ocean temps alone moved upward, while temps in all land regions rebounded after hitting bottom..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note:\u00a0 UAH has shifted their baseline from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020 beginning with January 2021.\u00a0 In the charts below, the trends and fluctuations remain the same but the anomaly values change with the baseline reference shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"252035\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=252035\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-256\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?resize=723%2C542&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252035\" width=\"723\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-256.png?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presently sea surface temperatures (SST) are the best available indicator of heat content gained or lost from earth\u2019s climate system.&nbsp; Enthalpy is the thermodynamic term for total heat content in a system, and humidity differences in air parcels affect enthalpy.&nbsp; Measuring water temperature directly avoids distorted impressions from air measurements.&nbsp; In addition, ocean covers 71% of the planet surface and thus dominates surface temperature estimates.&nbsp; Eventually we will likely have reliable means of recording water temperatures at depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, Dr. Ole Humlum reported from his research that&nbsp;<strong>air temperatures lag 2-3 months behind changes in SST<\/strong>.&nbsp; Thus the cooling oceans now portend cooling land air temperatures to follow.&nbsp; He also observed that changes in CO2 atmospheric concentrations lag behind SST by 11-12 months.&nbsp; This latter point is addressed in a previous post&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rclutz.wordpress.com\/2018\/04\/13\/who-to-blame-for-rising-co2\/\"><strong>Who to Blame for Rising CO2?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a change in priorities, updates are now exclusive to HadSST4.&nbsp; For comparison we can also look at lower troposphere temperatures (TLT) from UAHv6 which are now posted for March.&nbsp; The temperature record is derived from microwave sounding units (MSU) on board satellites like the one pictured above. Recently there was a change in UAH processing of satellite drift corrections, including dropping one platform which can no longer be corrected. The graphs below are taken from the revised and current dataset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UAH dataset includes temperature results for air above the oceans, and thus should be most comparable to the SSTs. There is the additional feature that ocean air temps avoid Urban Heat Islands (UHI).&nbsp; The graph below shows monthly anomalies for ocean air temps since January 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"301\" data-attachment-id=\"252036\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=252036\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?fit=1246%2C518&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1246,518\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-257\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?fit=723%2C301&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?resize=723%2C301&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?resize=1024%2C426&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?resize=300%2C125&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?resize=768%2C319&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?resize=1200%2C499&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-257.png?w=1246&amp;ssl=1 1246w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rclutz.files.wordpress.com\/2023\/04\/uah-ocean-202303.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note 2020 was warmed mainly by a spike in February in all regions, and secondarily by an October spike in NH alone.

The 2016 El Nino matched 1998 peak and in addition NH after effects lasted longer, followed by the NH warming 2019-20.&nbsp; &nbsp;An upward bump in 2021 was reversed with temps having returned close to the mean as of 2\/2022.&nbsp; March and April brought warmer Global temps, later reversed, and with the sharp drops in Nov., Dec. and January 2023 temps, there was no increase over 1980. Now in February and March there is a slight rebound over zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TLTs include mixing above the oceans and probably some influence from nearby more volatile land temps.\u00a0 Clearly NH and Global land temps have been dropping in a seesaw pattern, nearly 1C lower than the 2016 peak.\u00a0 Since the ocean has 1000 times the heat capacity as the atmosphere, that cooling is a significant driving force.\u00a0 TLT measures started the recent cooling later than SSTs from HadSST3, but are now showing the same pattern.\u00a0 It seems obvious that despite the three El Ninos, their warming has not persisted, and without them it would probably have cooled since 1995.\u00a0 Of course, the future has not yet been written.<\/p>\n\n\n<div
