Now that everybody thinks that the temperatures are on the way up again, I feel it's safe to go over this stuff, once more before the end of the year.
There is no great difference from all the reports I've done this year. I only do this to record things that might be clearer in hindsight.
This is the world summary for sea surface temperatures. Note that the standard NOAA horrible plot of land surface temperatures appears to be gone from this planet. Every month, it was 'hotter than ever', and now, I guess, trumpy killed them all. No article in the past several months has used a chart.
This is the North Atlantic, and it is way down. This affects Europe and the UK.
The Gulf of Maine is the definitive thermometer of North America. I expect it to eventually scrape the bottom of the chart. The natgas people are having a big Christmas Is Warm party, and they ignore this plot.
This is the source of the NA temperature. The Pacific Belt. At one time it was amazingly alive, with endless current movements that juiced up our warmth. Now, it is a cold, dead husk.
This shows the state of the two main ocean belts that drive our weather. They are choking on cold penguin water. Up until the turnover in 2016, they got their water from the north. Makes a difference.
This video makes no sense to me, since the current seems to be detached from heat-carrying. I would need a plot of heat-energy flux. However, the Gulf Stream is alive and well, and not affected by the ice melting in Greenland at 60 below.
One day I will be able to make sense of this, but we need a full 3-d plot of the currents. Not going to happen with nooa dead, as if they would ever do anything good. I suspect that all the ocean monitoring will soon be rooted up and thrown on the compost heap.
