image: Ocean buoy (green) and satellite data (orange) measuring sea surface temperatures compared to updated National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predictions concluded in 2015 (red) after adjusting for a cold bias in buoy temperature measurements. NOAA's earlier assessment (blue) underestimated sea surface temperature changes. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 4 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by Z. Hausfather at University of California, Berkeley in Berkeley, CA, and colleagues was titled, "Assessing recent warming using instrumentally homogeneous sea surface temperature records." view more
