Unlike, say, the total heat content of the atmos plus oceans.<BR/><BR/>But... that rather loses sight of the fact that the xfer of heat into the oceans *does* depend on the skin T; and the atmos heat content is negligible compared to the oceans. So we're back to the skin T again as being important.<BR/><BR/>RP Sr has been pushing a similar point. In TbS's case, I guess part of the point is, if you can persuade people to throw away the sfc record you're left with far shorter records and more variability so attribution would be harder. But its all a pile of toss so its not going to work...William M. Connolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836299130680534926noreply@blogger.com
