Jim,
I noticed the addition of SST data a day or two back. (I could have missed it before, no doubt.) Spencer's data varies between 69.5 and 70.5 during the year on this, which is warmer than NOAA which gives a worldwide "average" of about 61 degrees (all in Fahrenheit). Spencer's average presumably excludes high latitudes.
I also see that the "no message today" statement is prevalent on AMSU's various other channels. I do not know when they were most recently updated.
It appears to me that Spencer's addition of the SST data in graph form is in response to NOAA's bizarro "records" this summer...
Overall, it looks like Spencer et al. are improving/changing the site a bit. Probably take a few days to get it sorted out.

A month or so ago he announced they would be tranisitioning to the AQUA satellite and retire the NOAA-15 data we're used to seeing on the website.
This will take the guesswork out of interpreting the unprocessed data.

SST addition is a great thing. You can see how SST cause higher tropospheric temperatures (like this summer) or colder (first half 2008 La Nina). SST are heading down now. The summer SST spike so many hoped for to persist, is, well, spike. According to HadSST, October 1941 spike had higher anomaly than April 2009  |

SST are heading down now. They certainly are. This is the AMSU report of Oct 1st file created=2009-10-02 20:22:22
title=Daily global average temperature at: Sea Surface
number of data columns=7
....
min y axis=293.5
max y axis=295.0
motd1=The temperature on 10/01/2009
motd2=is 529.47 deg F cooler than
motd3=this day last year.What do the the ice extent graphs look like?

Which ocean do these SSTs originate from on the AMSU data? The Pacific? Or are they global? I notice that they are headed downward with respect to 2008 and 2007. I've noticed that SOI is +3.2.
