The way we measure ocean temperatures changed. The oceans are actually within normal bounds if you use previous measurement methods. The new approach however shows more volatility that is not reflective of what is actually going on.
- skhunted 3y agoDo you have a reference to this? I’m interested knowing more about this. Is this something oceanographers generally agree on?
- defrost 3y agoCan you provide any specific details such as which countries|agencies changed, which data sets were affected, before|after graphics, etc? Do you have any concrete particular issue with, say, the European sea surface temperature ERA5 1979-2024 dataset ? https://pulse.climate.copernicus.eu/ https://pulse.climate.copernicus.eu/
- garciasn 3y agoThey’re not wrong; they just seem to imply this means the data are no longer worthwhile and all of the measured rise should only be attributed to the measurement change. This is a false read of the situation. https://science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/the-raw-truth-on-global-temperature-records/ https://science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/the-raw-truth-... There has been thoughtful and careful attention made to normalize the temperatures across any number of data collection and aggregation methods and they’re all showing the same upward trend.
