It follows instead the pattern of natural causes, such as sunspot cycles, and ocean temperature cycles.
FORBES: As The Economy Recesses, Obama's Global Warming Delusions Are Truly Cruel
The data collected will be ocean temperature and salinity, crucial factors in both ocean circulation and climate.
The ocean temperature is around 85-degrees, and despite windy white caps and a tiny swell, the water is calm.
Global temperatures have not varied with CO2, but have followed instead the varying patterns of natural causes, such as solar activity, and ocean temperature cycles.

The global temperature trends since then have followed not rising CO2 trends but the ocean temperature cycles of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).
FORBES: To The Horror Of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here
The 20 to 30 year ocean temperature cycles turned back to warm from the late 1970s until the late 1990s, which is the primary reason that global temperatures warmed during this period.
FORBES: To The Horror Of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here
Those ocean temperature cycles, and the continued recovery from the Little Ice Age, are primarily why global temperatures rose from 1915 until 1945, when CO2 emissions were much lower than in recent years.
FORBES: To The Horror Of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here
He therefore gave his models a series of decade-long tests beginning with the real climatic conditions (level of solar radiation, ocean temperature and so on) on 80 different start dates from 1982 to 2001.

Today, hundreds of floats deployed under the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), coordinated by UNESCO and largely supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), are used to measure ocean temperature, salinity and tsunami risk.
In a follow-up to a preliminary study published four years ago, he looked at ocean-temperature surveys made over the past 65 years.
"As of a week ago, the ocean surface temperature was a few degrees higher than usual, " Liu said, referring to data collected by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency satellite.
They then used that proxy data, which they dubbed the Paleo Index (PI) and compared it to the merged land-ocean surface temperature (MLOST) records developed by the National Climactic Data Center.
FORBES: New Study Shows Independent Evidence Of Global Warming
Just as, we can directly measure today, that the carbon dioxide that we are adding to the atmosphere being absorbed by the ocean, even the temperature of that ocean is rising.
FORBES: Antarctic Temperatures Are Rising Twice As Fast As Previously Predicted
The ocean's temperature and carbon dioxide levels are important because of their impact on our atmosphere.
Liquid Robotics, the US company behind the project, collected data about the Pacific Ocean's temperature, salinity and ecosystem from the drone.
Argo takes the pulse of the ocean, collecting and distributing temperature and salinity observations from a fleet of 3000 underwater robots.
This Ocean forecasting system could generate crucial forecast information, such as ocean circulation, sea surface temperature, wave height, to serve the needs of a variety of human activities related to marine hazards mitigation, oil and gas exploration, fisheries, navigation, marine parks management and coastal recreational activities.

The researchers said this findings was important because these ocean areas were indicative of global temperature shifts.

Computer models of modern climate suggest that temperature changes could affect ocean currents, and recent research has found indications that it is happening now in the north Atlantic.

The cold waters mean a large temperature contrast between the land and ocean -- conditions that favor the formation of a strong inversion layer that traps smog over cities, such as the Los Angeles, Calif.
When the explorer drills the ice to make a physical measurement of thickness, he will use the hole to lower a 4kg conductivity-temperature device (CTD) into the ocean below.
After all, it seems pretty logical that they should be enhanced by global warming, as the thermal source that they convert to destructive kinetic energy is the heat of the ocean, which should go up with the surface temperature.
FORBES: Bringing Some Empirical Sense To All the Hurricane Hype
Basically, the waves in the ocean have energy, and you use that to lower the temperature differential.
Even when the sharks are found closer to the ocean surface, they spend their time in the cool-temperature, plankton-rich waters that limit underwater visibility and make diving difficult.

The new research provides some support for this theory, as well as demonstrating that abrupt temperature changes can have a long-term impact on ocean currents which are, as the Gulf Stream demonstrates, intimately tied to weather systems.
BBC: NEWS | Science/Nature | Past gives clue to climate impact
Keith Briffa, from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, said the tropical ocean regions were among the more reliable areas from which to infer large-scale temperature changes.

It is an extremely complex measurement, because there are so many factors at work: shifting ocean currents, the dynamics and movement of large ice shelves, and the varying temperature and saltiness of water at different places.
Argo is a global fleet of 3000 data collection ships that collect high-quality temperature and salinity profiles from the upper 2000m of the ice-free global ocean.
In addition to a sea floor mapping project, the researchers will make chemical analyses of water samples that will help them determine the temperature, salinity and composition of a strong circumpolar current that flows around the boundary of the Arctic Ocean.
