Less cold: Ocean cold period in the early 20th century less pronounced than previously thought
A new study shows that the oceans were less cold in the early 20th century (1900–1930) than previously thought. During this period the ocean appears too cold due to the way some measurements were taken. This makes global ocean surface temperature measurements during this period inconsistent with both land air temperatures and palaeoclimatic data and the differences between land and ocean are larger than shown in climate models. …read more
