You only need to know
the OHC at two times to know the mean imbalance between them.
Not exact matches
If we want to know why SST is changing
at observed rates (long term), or why it takes so long for changes in atmospheric dynamics to register fully in the ocean,
OHC is critical, but if we simply want to quantify the change, the direct measurements are more appropriate.
This cause, launched in 2014 by TFA, could be emulated by other teacher recruitment programs such as the Office of Human Capital (
OHC)
at Boston Public Schools (BPS).
He tried his hand
at customizing his father's Torino, a hodgepodge of a car with a Rambler American body restyled by Pininfarina, powered by an old Kaiser L - head engine fitted with an
OHC cylinder head conversion, made and marketed by Renault.

Using the 1.6 - liter

1 mm SLR is approx 1.2 e20J into ice melt 1 m SLR 1.2 e23J Balmaseda et al. (doi: 10.1002 / grl.50382) show
OHC above 2000m rising
at approx 1e22 J / yr
Now anyone can see from the data that the ocean heat capacity (
OHC) has been accumulating energy
at a rate on the order of 0.5 to 1 W / m ^ 2.
I agree the
OHC data are incompatible with a predominately internal contribution (although I'm sure Judith would argue those data are too uncertain, though I don't think anyone has argued
OHC decreasing over the last half - century,
at least not
at the ocean basins / depths that communicate with the atmosphere on the relevant timescales).
One wonders, with
OHC are we not missing some
at the poles?
Regarding ECS («equilibrium climate sensitivity»), I think there are difficulties estimating anything truly resembling a Charney - type ECS from data involving
OHC uptake and forcing estimates, because these estimates are fraught with so many uncertainties, and because the values that are calculated, even if accurate, bear an uncertain relationship to how the climate would behave
at equilibrium.
My guess is it increases
OHC by decreasing the formation of cold deep water, this would have a temporary (hundreds of year though) heating effect
at the surface.
So 41 % gives you half the doubling effect, but this is just the transient part, as some goes into
OHC first and contributes
at the surface later.
Bob, Pielke Pere has a question for you
at the end of JC's «Where's the Missing Heat» thread, about the source for your assertion that
OHC has risen just recently.
The biggest surprise for Bedwetter Bandwagon riders is that
OHC is somehow increasing faster
at depth than in the surface layer.
And then there are those who admit that it is likely that
OHC is increasing, but that it won't matter as the heat is being harmlessly «dispersed» throughout the ocean — almost to suggest we can get a «free ride» from the highest GH gas levels in
at least 3.2 million years.
Sidd @ # 30 But the
OHC graphs
at your link show a slope of 13.2 e21J per year from 1990 to 2008 plus you have an extra bit
at greater depth (I suppose ~ 14e21J total).
They take the
OHC in Joules
at the end minus beginning and divide by time to get this number.
The
OHC being stuck
at various thermal inversions layers is comical.
The 2005 to 2013
OHC warming rate of 86 zettajoules per decade is a net energy transfer
at the ocean surface of 0.75 W / m2.
OHC follows changes in TOA radiant flux as shown in the Wong et al 2006 paper — ocean / atmosphere heat transfer obviously occurs but the fundamental metric is
at TOA.
If
OHC is increasing
at about 0.7 W / m ^ 2 (for the top 2000 meters) and the SST is showing an anomaly of 0.6 C, then the incoming heat is increasing
at a rate of 2.3 W / m ^ 2.
If this is a transfer of energy from the oceans to the atmosphere,
OHC should be decreasing
at depth.
In Wongs Fig. 7 the
OHC and net ERBS peak
at the same time along with the 1997/98 El Nino.
The associated graphic illustrates the huge disparity between
OHC and everything else
at a glance.
The relentless increase in
OHC means that ocean temperatures continue to rise
at 0.003 degC / decade.
-- robust radiative physics — ground - based instrumental evidence that CO2 absorbs and therefore emits IR exactly in accordance with the physical theory — satellite data confirming this — satellite data apparently indicating a radiative imbalance
at TOA — robust measurements of the fraction of atmospheric CO2 — increasing global
OHC since the mid-C20th
Thus, we suggest that scientists and modelers who seek global warming signals should track how much heat the ocean is storing
at any given time, termed global ocean heat content (
OHC), as well as sea level rise (SLR).
You're pretty smooth Anu; the Levitus 2009 paper sees «plenty of ocean warming»; I suggest you look
at Fig S9 of that paper; and I note you haven't commented on the 2003 spike in
OHC which must be a transition error and contributes 1/2 of all
OHC over the whole data period.
I have to say it's a remarkable finding by the Schuckmann paper to find
OHC increasing when
OHC is declining
at the 700m mark;
Unfortunately, the
OHC data is too short and too buggy
at this point to draw any conclusions.
Lucifer, if you look
at my references you'll see that ocean heat transport has been going down over the last decade3 and the
OHC of the N Atlantic has been decreasing since 2007.
Now that
OHC is
at the forefront — a cynic might say that it has become useful now it helps explain recent short - term temperature change — is it not time to recognise that Roger was right?
But you will find that
OHC follows the net radiant flux
at TOA quite closely.
The rebuttal to Balmaseda et al is that they have only looked
at the aggregate of basin
OHC, they have NOT analyzed basin - by - basin so they haven't advanced anyone's knowledge except perhaps their own and SKS.
Their presentation seems to square the data with the models but begs the question of what the lower
OHC uptake (I pose a figure
at Real Climate) implies for the sesnitivity.
Or net radiative flux
at TOA is influenced by variability in
OHC.
First, I do not know if that is the case as the
OHC graph Eli linked to from UCAR ends
at 2010.
The real answer lies in the constraints of the energy budget
at TOA — and what little evidence there is suggests that
OHC follows changes in the erergy balance
at TOA quite closely.
But you suggested that the 1995/96 rise in Tropical Pacific
OHC may have come from below the 700 meter level, when you wrote, «After all a slightly less cold upwelling entering the ENSO process from below would manifest itself in warming
at the surface (and vice versa) and that would help to account for the apparent disjunction between the strengths of the La Nina and El Nino phases in your article.»
Given that the oceans drive the atmosphere and the oceans are running
at record
OHC levels, this is not surprising.
This is why the ENSO process and other large heat flows independent of CO2 seem to be
at least as important if not more important for the variability of
OHC.
Positive forcing
at seasonal to inter-annual scales leads to an average global surface temperature drop from La Nina influence but recharging of
OHC (longer term gain), while reduced forcing allows El Nino conditions and temporary peaks in global average temperature, and
OHC reduction (longer term loss).
If you are implying that because the ocean surface temperature does remains stable
at 26.85 C there is no change in
OHC, then the long term effect is to pump heat into the atmosphere.
At any reasonable level of the latter (i.e., a plausible effective climate sensitivity value), the
OHC data can't be reconciled with more than a small contribution from internal variability.
OHC: • Different global estimates of sub-surface ocean temperatures have variations
at different times and for different periods, suggesting that sub-decadal variability in the temperature and upper heat content (0 to to 700 m) is still poorly characterized in the historical record.
As the article points out, you can look
at other metrics instead -
OHC, sealevel, global glacial mass which have a much lower degree of internal variability.
Since 2003,
OHC has been increasing even more slowly, possibly not
at all.
