Here's an important quote:

"The magnitude of the inferred aerosol forcing
increases in the late 1990s and early 2000s to more than
−1.5 W m−2 (Figure 3b) by the end of the record."

Yeah interesting stuff.

Thanks for that link Robert, did not know about this. That value of aerosol forcing is very close to what Hansen estimated no?

Update:  Just cave it a quick read, a fascinating paper by Church et al.!  My wife thinks that I'm weird for getting excited about journal papers, but good ones like this really do inspire me.

Rob, free version is here: Church 2011. I used it as a reference in the new Arctic piece, I think it is an important paper.

Rob/Pete, thanks muchly. I'll write something up.

Rob, you might also want to see the related paper: The Historical Global Sea Level Budget Moore 2011 which I think will fit in. I have a few recent vaguely Ocean heat related papers (about 120) for an article on deep warming and mixing processes I had promised John I would write about a hundred years ago, but these were amongst the ones I was waiting to see!

120 papers related to ocean heat? You're worse than me!

Have the Moore (2011) paper thanks Pete. There's bunch of review papers at TOS in a special issue about sea level too.

Thanks Rob, I had one or two of these individually, but for some reason missed the special issue.  Blimey, 172 papers in my file, but not all useful.  Now I've a few more.  It's dawning on me why I find it difficult to write a short post...
