When the Arctic becomes ice free, can we expect Summer bombogenesis events?

How much dampening are you talking about? Any ideas on what the CO2-Hadley Cell link would be?

That's out of line.

Now I'm even more confused.... It was just a few years ago that strong trades were blamed for the hiatus, as they transported surface heat down below. Now weaker winds are also causing the ocean to warm, via less mixing and evaporating. By the way, how long does it take heat to transport down 700 meters? It seems like the top 50 meters would be a much better way to measure how much heat the ocean is taking up. As long as I'm asking questions that no one will answer... Weren't the higher SST's supposed to be caused by broad Hadley cells and reduced cloud coverage? There are 3886 free drifting floats around the world. The oceans are 139 millions square miles. This gives us a float on average of every 35,000 square miles. Is there also satellite data to measure SST?

I would expect the UAH numbers to start increasing. Kind of suprised they haven't shown more of a bump.

You need to re-read the definition of -PDO.

Weren't you the one quoting the Unabomber?

I'd give it the same amount of time as is given CMIP to verify. Personally I suspect weak solar and aerosols are masking CO2 warming.

I don't remember the thread, but Sokolov posted a nice description of how glacier movement and retreat can be understood through rock deposits.

He's been posting on theweatherforums a lot. I'm not sure why he quit posting here. Betheseda is also there.

I'd think the atmosphere/SST delta T would be the larger factor.
