Ian, why does your graph of OHC from Levitus 2009 look so different of every other graph I can find from Levitus 2009?
this is the first point I would like to make on OHC. the models run ridiculously hot. the graph above is wrong. the model trend line and the observation trend line do not intersect, the model is already higher in 2003 and has diverged wildly ever since.
This last one directly from the Levitus paper at
Global ocean heat content 1955–2008 in light of recently revealed instrumentation problems - Levitus - 2009 - Geophysical Research Letters - Wiley Online Library
So... why is that Ian?
I gave crick a chance to reexamine his post and he chose not to.
his first graph-
crick decided to put up a chart that ends at the same time that mine starts, and then asks me why they dont look similar. how ******* stupid is that?
his second and third charts are essentially the same but at least they contain part of the ARGO era data that makes up my graph. does it look similar? yes. is it exactly the same over the same years? no. why? because my chart is done in three month data points and his is done in yearly data points.
I told you before crick. any time you are confused about what I have presented, that is a clue to go back and reinvestigate what I have said. I am not always right but when it comes to reading graphs you are commonly wrong, due to your lack of basic understanding.
