The most sophisticated sea level satellite is Envisat. It doesn’t show any sea level rise since it was launched in 2002, so our friends in the sea level community tried to hide it by painting it almost invisible yellow and not normalising the data properly.
The animation above corrects those problems, and shows how completely bogus the claimed trend is.
The Envisat working reports are a hoot….
When Envisat was launched, the first 22 passes showed sea levels falling. Which was the opposite of what Jason 2 was showing….
….so they “tuned” Envisat to match the trend line of Jason 2.
Envisat still showed sea levels falling……
Keep in mind, Jason 2 was tuned to Jason 1, etc etc all the way back to the very first one…
…all showing sea levels rising
So then they even tried “adding” to sea levels, .3 mm year, because the sea floor is sinking……
….and it is still showing sea levels falling…………….LOL
Obviously, they didn’t add enough…………
lol, no they didn’t add enough, and now even the Jasons are revolting…….lol….. you want to hear something funny, they’re stating the sea-levels dropped because it rained on land…..

Every bit of land would have to be covered with twice as much water…as sea levels fall
We would all be flooded………..LOL
……either they are dumb as a stump
or they think we are
BOTH!
I think of the rapacious green movement (which includes the IPCC) in much the sam way I think of Chairman Obamo — as a weird kind of sideways benefit.
It looks as if both have worked in tandem to help awake a sleeping populace, coalesced and dedicated to the defeat of the evil rent-seekers, and to remove the current, cynically dishonest administration.
The scientific sounding nonsense about how we’ll all bake, sizzle or drown is part and parcel with the desire to centrally plan our day-to-day lives. I wonder, if not for the scientists, and if not for the culture of corruption (thanks, Ms. Malkin!) in Washington, would we have arisen and become a potent force for good? I think not.
Another great blink graph exposing the climate criminal cabal. These must drive Hansen and Steve Mosher crazy
Might I suggest that a large blink caption be added to each blink frame for the satellite used in that frame?
To be fair to the challenges, remember that the NASA satellites the University of Alabama, Huntsville use to track global atmospheric temperatures were new tools. So are satellites for measuring sea-level like Jason and Envisat.
Therefore the real story is precisely what are these challenges? Calibration is only one obstacle; what are the other instrumental frontiers?
The geoid determination is something they bump into often……. it isn’t that they don’t have challenges. It is that they present data as factual and being without flaw. The more I look into this, the more I know that they don’t know.
Here is a nearly coherent discussion on satellite sea level that pokes at various difficulties of the satellites. http://suyts.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/discussion-so-far/
Currently, we’re running down tidal gauges. I hope to tie the findings to the satellite data, but things are looking rotten all the way down.
orson, to be fair….
Why are they only showing sea level rise…in the places where they are showing stronger gravity from sea floor volcanoes?
Wouldnt Archimedes principle suggest that some of the rising sea could be attributed to all the mountains, river beds, eroding shorelines being washed into the sea? Has this been taken into account, not to mention growing reefs, underwater volcanoes…..miniscule I know, but just a thought!
The warmanisers have used up every little nook and cranny of fudges, from the cooling of the past to the great dying of thermometers. Those thermometers left badly UHI affected are also going south. Sea levels refuse to behave as do the seas temperatures, even the sun seems to be some what contrary, and proving itself to be a tad problematic.
Perhaps if these global warming scientists had done proper research, they would now not be looking like fools with a less than rosy future. They have a small window of opportunity rapidly closing to redeem them selves, as the cold kicks in.
