2018 hottest Ocean temperatures ever recorded

[Crick]

We'd all be dead long before it got to boiling.

 

[Darkwind]

Prior record ocean hot temp: 62.6000000003

New record: 62.6000000004

Hey, its a new record! Run around with your hair on fire and demand that the government restrict your opportunity to live well!

The ocean is getting warmer. It's specific heat content is enormous. Small changes in temperature represent enormous changes in energy.

These data make your numbers look like bullshit.

"Data and methods

The method used here, which was developed at the IAP, involves calculating ocean temperatures down to 2000 m using observations from various measurement devices (Abraham et al., 2013; Cheng et al., 2017). The data are available at OHC by IAP. The in-situ temperature measurements that were input into the IAP calculation are available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Center for Environmental Information (NOAA/NCEI) (Boyer et al., 2013). The Argo observing network was implemented in around 2005, which has significantly improved the ocean-measurement capability (Argo, 2000). The Argo data are collected and made freely available by the International Argo Program and the contributing national programs (http://www.argo.ucsd.edu; JCOMM in situ Observing Platform Support Centre - JCOMMOPS). The Argo Program is part of the Global Ocean Observing System. Note that relatively little is known about the deep ocean below 2000 m because observations at these depths are sparse (Argo data are mainly available for the upper 2000 m). The information on Hurricane Mangkhut came from https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018...on-mangkhut-toll-rises28-180916054503320.html.
