What would be the effect of this colder (than usual) air over a milder (than
usual) sea surface from a convective point of view?

Andrew - When you post to Usenet, it helps if you quote sufficient of the
post (and the poster's name) to which you are replying, so readers can see
the context of the post and the reason for your words. When I read yours
here, I had to go searching through my list for a read article, as it had
long disappeared from my current list.

In answer to your question - It will be the first time in quite a long
period, that sea temperatures will be high enough, in relation the the air
temperature, to allow significant convective forcing. With all the
warm/hot air around of late, SSTs have been too low to do this.
