And what have from gates and jimmy dee is the usual narrative free of any data.
The ARGO data is not showing any increase – as it follows net CERES – as it must. The so called noise is the signal of climate variability. The change in energy content of the planet must – by the 2nd law of thermodynamics – be equal to the difference between energy in and energy out.
Real data and not just a narrative about radiant imbalances. Always distrust someone who wants to reject hard won data holus bolus.
The stability of CERES is 0.2% in SW and 0.15% in IR per decade.
‘This paper highlights how the emerging record of satellite observations from
the Earth Observation System (EOS) and A-Train constellation are advancing our ability to more completely document and understand the underlying processes associated with variations in the Earth’s top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation budget. Large-scale TOA radiation changes during the past decade are observed to be within 0.5 Wm-2 per decade
based upon comparisons between Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard Terra and Aqua and other instruments. Tropical variations in emitted outgoing longwave (LW) radiation are found to closely track changes in the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). During positive ENSO phase (El Nino), outgoing LW radiation increases, and decreases during the negative ENSO phase (La Nina). The coldest year during the last decade occurred in 2008, during which strong La Nina conditions persisted throughout most of the year.’ http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~jnorris/reprints/Loeb_et_al_ISSI_Surv_Geophys_2012.pdf
There is an interesting fact about Jason. The sea level rise is given as 3.2mm/year. But the ARGO record is a steric rise of 0.69mm/year over part of the period – with some loss of freshwater content.
Which is correct? I’d put my money on ARGO.
