Teams of climate change researchers around the world will be anxiously counting down the launch of the Jason-2 satellite from California, scheduled for 20 June 2008. Successful lift-off will mean a whole new era in detecting the expansion of our oceans and sea level rise, both major indicators of climate change.

Well I’ll be darned! McIntyre is nothing but a stock market engineer. Now if he were a politician, he’d have to sell all his mining shares.
BTW When did Watts put to sea?
data logger; when I post rubbish I usually get stomped on, but occasionally I get politely corrected; in deference to karma therefore, may I suggest your disparaging comment about McIntyre and CO doing measurements is completely wrong; Anthony Watts has inspected dozens of temperature stations, which you would know if you bothered to check his site
As for McIntyre, he has been sedulous in examining primary sources, both in the field and elsewhere; read this;

And when did McIntyre & Co last do a measurement?
For those who don’t get it yet my interest was always in those doing primary measurements rather than the analysis done by a gaggle of geeks a home.
Hang on links if you wish, but a least look around when you find a decent site.
See here a last, a decent attempt to get around averages

Let’s guess what happens to oceans as we dump more big chunks of ice in, cold currents?
Lets look around some more hey

gavin; that link is not to the original article, which is not available at either the home page of PCMDI, or the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research; PCMDI is a climate model diagnostic mob and the Australian crew are joint effort by CSIRO and BoM; but I'm not going down King's ad hom path, so I'll reserve judgement.
There sure is a lot of contradictory info about the seas; just a little while ago, ARGO was finding evidence of cooling everywhere; now, in a recent paper by Willis, Lyman, Johnson and Gilson, a conclusion that;
"a large cold bias in a small fraction of the ARGO floats and a smaller but more prevalent warm bias in the XBT data" has been made.
McIntyre looks at sea temp in all the oceans;

and his observations seem to tally with this crew;

Using that lot to substantiate AGW is a fool's errand.
