I've just been informed that NODC have released their updated OHC data today. I haven't had a look at the data myself but anyone who's interested, feel free to have a play. I believe it can be downloaded from: | |

Somebody already dropped in the "Billions of Blow Dryers" thread: Slightly nicer looking graph, especially shrinkage of the tiresome step 2002-2004. Scientific progress goes "blink":

Description of differences here ftp://ftp.nodc.noaa.gov/pub/data.nodc/woa/DATA_ANALYSIS/3M_HEAT_CONTENT/PDF/heat_content_differences.pdf Mean difference between seasonal integrals for 1955-2008: 0.51 ±0.12 x 1022J For period 1955-2003: 0.33 ±0.07 x 1022J For period 2004-2008: 2.17 ±0.04 x 1022J Largest differences 2004-2008 in the Southern Hemisphere, where consistent data collection begins ~2004. Major factor in differences is new/changed data, updated quality control Quite a few blow dryers gone but not a upheaval. Watch the eruption of skeptic joy until somebody points out several thousand times that after all, there's no "global cooling" and in fact the myopic 5-year trend line has "improved." | |

Indeed, this update is bad for the skeptic argument 'OHC has decreased since 2004'. | |

I think they still can cherry-pick the 3 month data which shows rather high peak at about 2004 and it's "downhill" after that point. I wonder if the Argo corrections are already finished or why did they update the data now? I should check the Argo website. Oh well, at any case it seems I might have to write a blog post on this tomorrow... |
