Something to warm Roger Pielke Sr's heart...

As those of you who visit the Emeritus Colorado State Climatologist's

blog are aware, Roger Pielke Sr., has a thing for Joules. He also has

been greatly cheered by some recent measurements of ocean heat content

and in particular recent papers by Lyman. Willis and Johnson. Eli was

sitting in front of the fire patting Ethon after a fine liver dinner,

well, as good as it gets, reading EOS, when to his great joy he came

across an EOS article by Shaopeng Huang "Land Warming as Part of

Global Warming".

Recently Huang, Chapman, Harris and others have been trying to figure

out how increased atmospheric temperatures would effect the heat

content of the earth. Based on those studies, in the EOS article,

Huang figures out how much heat would have been absorbed into the

ground using Jones and Moberg's surface temperature records. Figure 3

from the paper shows (a) the land surface temperature, (b) the amount

of heat/m^2 that would flow into the ground infered from (a) and the

increase in heat content of the ground from (b). ZETA Joules, my
