New Study: CO2 Effects On Global Ocean Temperatures ‘Impossible’ To Measure
by Kenneth Richard 18 hours ago
A new study reveals the limit of the greenhouse gas-induced longwave radiative impact extends only to the ~10 μm (0.01 mm) skin layer — the ocean-air interface — and no deeper.
Determining the sea surface temperature (SST) variation at this skin depth is critical to any attempt to quantify or calculate the impact of greenhouse gases like CO2 on ocean temperatures.
Yet scientists admit such temperature variations are “impossible” to measure at this depth.
Instead, temperature variations in the skin layer must be “schemed” (i.e., guessed) using models that only begin at the 500 to 1,000 mm (0.5 to 1.0 m) layer depths.
This means, of course, that CO2’s effects on ocean temperatures are also impossible to measure.
