Abstract
To determine the sensitivity of the climate to increases in greenhouse gases and other factors, it is important to be able to condidently assess observed changes in global surface temperature. Much has recently been made in the populare press about differences in the rate of temperature change over the oceans as derived from marine surface boundary layer aire temperatures as opposed to temperatures measured at the sea surface.Keywords
