Re: Warm SSTs Already???

Excellent catch. Even between 2007 and 2008, the same temperature value is represented by a different color - the offset in 2008 is toward the warmer hues by about 2.5C. In simple terms, when correcting for this error in color scaling, the SSTs for 2008 are just about the same as for 2007, i.e., no true warming in 2008.
