Ground vs Sat Covariance Plot « The Air Vent

From my last post on temperature trend, I showed that there is a short term signal in the satellite data which has a higher rate of change than the ground data while the ground data 30 year trend is higher than the satellite data.

But we're talking about volcanoes under the water, not alleged volcanoes under two miles of ice.
