Both of these approaches have significant problems in allowing for the reflections of their 'precise altimeters' from the high both in feet and reflectivity of the flat surfaces container ships and oil rigs. As the size and number of ships increase so do the errors due to their presence. I challenge anyone to justify measurements of sea level to a claimed accuracy of hundredths of millimeters. They may have that precision but certainly not the accuracy. Well last time I did any reading on this several years ago the accuracy of the satellites may not be much of a factor. Lets see it was something about continental uplift being theorized as offsetting the "expected" rise in ocean sea level in relationship to land masses, which of course is the only way the satellites can have a baseline. Its called geostatic rebound. The theory is as the weight of the glaciers diminished the land would uplift as the pressure is released. And of course since that does not account for all of the "expected" sea level rise, this geostatic rebound effect continues for millenia beyond when the glaciers receded. Now I can appreciate selecting bright minds right out of the womb and ensconcing them into an institution and gradually promoting them to a nice standard of living with a never me worry salary and tenure. Then you give them a nice windowless office in a grand ivy covered edifice for the purpose of pondering the nature of the world. After all if the senses are deprived and worries are allayed the mind can grasp elemental truths about nature that is completely free of the biases introduced by an evil world.

It is in fact also more of a modoki, region 1+2 has not had the heat the central regions have. Also, 4 big cold patches developing, including one which has a strong westerly current feeding north of the El Nino.

the end near s/a is starting to weaken ..by dec there will be a cold spot here there is just to much cold around it for it to survive into feb next year .. with our winter almost upon us it will now start to be hit from the top as well as the bottom that huge cool patch from Australia to japan is up to 4 deg cooler .. that's were your early Antarctic melt has gone .. just follow the circulation patterns to see what happens next

Yep, it will only be -20F rather than -30F.

I don't understand this idea that this can get any bigger. The ssta don't compare to '97, the cold in the west is more extensive, if an atmospheric hookup does commence, it'll be cold water heating East surely??? The existing warm plume has already lost heat in the last month.
