How about the satellites...

You know nothing about remote sensing of temperature, and nor does Spencer
or Christy, who are abusers of data, not providers.

But I do: I have worked directly on four space missions devoted to remote
sensing. It is simply not possible to resolve the signal from the noise
with such a short temporal baseline.

Concerning the categorising of the tropical storm in the South Atlantic:
deriving windspeeds (itself an approximation) from remotely sensed
temperatures (another approximation) and finding a narrow fit places
doubt upon the conclusion.

I think categorsiation needs collaborative evidence.
