I'm not as sure as I was before, and I'm having trouble finding any further resources. Like I said it was a quick review of the data. Does this chart simply not show the top layer findings?

The argo chart labels the red graph as 0-2000 meters and the black graph as 700-2000 meters so the red is supposed to represent sea level temps while the black excludes the surface temperatures it appears

Yeah, I now think I was wrong on the bottom part there. That's what I get for not taking my time.

It looks to me like the red is supposed to represent total heat, which they measured for the first 2000m. The black line would exclude the first 700m, meaning it only shows the "deep water". Is this your reading of it as well? That doesn't make any sense though, because to the right of the graph the difference between the lines increases to the right. If the total heat increases more than the deep water heat, wouldn't that indicate that more heat was in the not deep water, the top 700m? That's exactly the opposite of what Nasa said it finds. I think I may still be reading it wrong.

Unrelated note, always nice to have some rational discussion. Thanks.
