Even though the Argo buoy data demonstrates a increase in SST's and require error correction for the pressure sensors I have not seen significant data suggesting that there is
any heating at depth.
The sun's radiation penetrates and converts to
heat at depth which is not at 294.2 K and obviously much less than this.
We say «deep» because we have measured any sufficient build up of
heat at the depth we can measure.
«In recent years, from 2004 to 2011, while the upper ocean is not warming, the ocean continues to absorb
heat at depth (e.g., Levitus et al. 2012; von Schuckman and Le Traon 2011), here estimated at a rate of 0.56 W m - 2 when integrating over 0 — 1800 m.»
Not a lot of tropical storms this year creating a large store of
heat at depth.
Heat at a depth of 1000 meters would not return for at least 250 years because the return rate is about 4 meters / year.
Regarding flatness over this period, the Lyman and Johnson paper referenced by Judith says this: «In recent years, from 2004 to 2011, while the upper ocean is not warming, the ocean continues to absorb
heat at depth (e.g., Levitus et al. 2012; von Schuckman and Le Traon 2011), here estimated at a rate of 0.56 Wm2 when integrating over 0 — 1800 m.» That 0.56 Wm2 figure is again pretty close to what the Balmeseda et al. reanalysis produces.
Meanwhile,
the heating at depth (and continued sea level rise) is testimony of the continued top of atmosphere imbalance.

at Jefferson Pool to compete with neighboring towns.
The next stage of the research will be to take a more in -

at how long Zika survives on hard non-porous surfaces in the
heat and how best to inactivate the virus.
To estimate the temperature
at various depths (from 3,500 m to 9,500 m
depth) the researchers have used the
heat flow and temperatures
at 1,000 m and 2,000 m provided in the Atlas of Geothermal Resources in Europe, as well as thermal data of the land surface available from NASA.
In extreme conditions — in this case, magma -
heated water
at an ocean
depth of nearly 10,000 feet — things work a little differently.
The warm Atlantic water was saltier, and therefore heavier and subducted
at depth and reached to the bottom, actually
heating up beneath a lid of ice and melt water, that prevented the release of
heat to the atmosphere.
Scientists
at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory showed that global climate models are not accurately depicting the true
depth and strength of tropical clouds that have a strong hold on the general circulation of atmospheric
heat and the global water balance.
The concentration of radioactivity measured down Germany's deepest hole (5.7 miles) would account for all the
heat flowing out
at the earth's surface if that concentration continued down to a
depth of only 18.8 miles and if the crust were 4 billion years old.47
The estimated increase of observed global ocean
heat content (over the
depth range from 0 to 3000 meters) between the 1950s and 1990s is
at least one order of magnitude larger than the increase in
heat content of any other component.
At the same time, increasing
depth and duration of drought, along with warmer temperatures enabling the spread of pine beetles has increased the flammability of this forest region — http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/v1/n9/full/nclimate1293.html http://www.vancouversun.com/fires+through+tinder+pine+beetle+killed+forests/10047293/story.html Can climate models give different TCR and ECS with different timing / extent of when or how much boreal forest burns, and how the soot generated alters the date of an ice free Arctic Ocean or the rate of Greenland ice melt and its influence on long term dynamics of the AMOC transport of
heat?
The following is an in

Looks very much like the one I make — only difference is I add a teaspoon or so of ground white pepper
at about the same time I add the fish sauce — gives another
heat level /
depth.
This is difficult to answer because pools in Jamaica reply on Solar
heat, so the temperature of the pool would depend on the sun
heat at that time, and obviously also the
depth of the pool.
It is not without criticism (insolation
heats the ocean
at depth and is not a surface forcing but IR forcing does).
Temperatures
at this
depth tend to have a paradoxical inverse relationship with surface temperatures, which can cool due to fresh meltwater input, trapping
heat in the subsurface.
As Jamie [Morison] mentioned, water
at 300 m
depth is much warmer, has a greater
heat content and is continuously present but is still on average unable to contribute to any larger
heat flux to the underside of the ice, due to the strong stratification of the upper Arctic.
I was
at the talk, and I believe the question was raised about
depth of warmth /
heat content... and Davis acknowledged that it would be good information to have but it was not available for their study.
One thing I would have liked to see in the paper is a quantitative side - by - side comparison of sea - surface temperatures and upper ocean
heat content; all the paper says is that only «a small amount of cooling is observed
at the surface, although much less than the cooling
at depth» though they do report that it is consistent with 2 - yr cooling SST trend — but again, no actual data analysis of the SST trend is reported.
Presumably, it does take a lot of energy to move that much water faster, with the
heat potentially being redistributed into deeper ocean layers associated with perhaps poorly understood fluctuations of the Antarctic convergence
at depth?
However,
heat store in the Atlantic Layer (temperature maxima
at ~ 300 m) and in waters of Pacific origin (maxima
at ~ 50 m
depth in the western Arctic) are prime candidates for releasing
heat to the underside of the Arctic ice.
Enhanced greenhouse effect The term known as the «enhanced greenhouse effect» describes a situation where the atmosphere's becomes less transparent to infra - red light (reducedincreased optical
depth), and that the
heat loss must take place
at higher levels.
Moreover, most of this flow probably occurs
at some
depth, where the temperature is close to zero, so its
heat transport is also very low.
It plunges toward the seafloor and heads south
at depth, retaining some of the
heat it accumulated on the surface.
Thus 3,000 ARGO buoys do not give 3,000 independent estimates of the ocean
heat content
at a particular time; each observation gives a single estimate of the temperature
at a particular location and
depth.
The
heat would be dumped into the cold water stream, which cools the condenser and is ejected below the thermocline so that the water would not release its CO2 content except to the colder surrounding water
at depth, where the CO2 would remain sequestered.
Geothermal wells are drilled to the
depth of hot rock, and well stimulation is used to engineer a man - made
heat exchanger
at depth using EGS technology and AltaRock's expertise.
The soil below about 4 feet
depth in most climates is
at a constant 50 degree temperature — almost benign in its impact on
heating or cooling.
MA Rodger # 16 Yes, it's the fallacious argument that a mass can not warm a warmer mass, used in both atmosphere (radiation) and ocean comments (the fallacy that
heat can not increase
at depth with also increasing shallower, and this «
heat gone forever» one).
Year 2013: surface skin has wamed a tiny fraction of 1C (not shown for comparison simplicity) and ocean mixing will not permit it to balance within 0.003 C
at the sub-skin (maybe also ocean happens to mix
heat down a tad faster due to a natural variation), now will only let 1.441 mm to < several tens - to - hundreds of metres >
depth warm by 0.69462 C instead of prior 0.697 C (ocean - air interface
at 0.70000 C).
The misnomer of the green house effect is
at odds with reality, take a ride through our solar system and you will find that the
heat of a planet has diddly squat to do with the composition of the atmosphere but its
depth.
Values such as 0.70000 C are not known with this precision but precision is irrelevant because it is the residual of the 0.7 C anomaly (computed here as 0.003 C per 1.441 mm of near - surface
depth for 2000 - 2010, 0.00538 C for 2013) that is adding the ocean
heat, so if actual
at ocean - air interface were, say, 0.726 C then it must be 0.723 C
at 1.441 mm
depth to reduce upward flux by 1.21 w / m ** 2 and cause the measured +138 ZettaJoules / decade.
For example, in the Pacific, when easterlies increase in strength (as happens during the cool phase of the PDO) the net surface may cool but more
heat is being sequestered
at depth due to increased Ekman pumping, thus the net energy content of the ocean increases, even with a cool surface layer.
SST's are often, but not always, better gauges for how much
heat is leaving the ocean on the way to the atmosphere rather than how much remains
at depth to be measured as ocean
heat content.
Those are measurements
at over half a kilometre
depth; it takes a long time for the
heat to penetrate that deep, so there's a substantial lag in the response.
I have a preference for near global coverage and
depth integrated satellite temperature records — it doesn't miss energy in latent
heat at the surface for one thing.
If the bucket were dragged
at sampling
depth for a few minutes before extraction, the walls of the bucket would have come near the ambient water temperature, slowing
heat loss from the captured water.
If you look
at the top post right now the
depth would absorb
heat at the rate of thermal conductivity and the depths would be more stable, but
at an in - between max and mix temps.
At the surface, the variability of temperatures over land is much greater than that over the oceans (Fig. 4), which reflects the very different
heat capacities of the underlying surface and the
depth of the layer linked to the surface.
The added ocean
heat combines with falling melting points
at depth to produce rapid melt along sea fronting glacier bases.
The oceans, which
at first only slowly accumulated
heat, began a long term warming which eventually extended through almost every
depth and region.
I agree with a lot of your assertions, e.g. the practical irrelevance of the adiabatic and hence essentially reversible ALR — the only mechanism that actually cools the atmosphere (permanently removes
heat from it) is radiation, and that occurs in the upper troposphere where the atmosphere ceases to be opaque to e.g. LWIR (although it is more complex than this, this process occurs in
depth and
at different depths in different frequencies).
Instead, the ocean
heat was increasingly trapped
at depth.
(Building
heat in Pacific Equatorial Surface waters on April 9 of 2015 — a sign of a massive pulse of hotter than normal water running
