There's typically an initial ocean uptake as tropical East Pacific upwelling (CO2 degassing) is reduced, followed by a stronger release of carbon from land.

Notes on data released May 7, 2008: The La Nina Pacific Ocean cooling event continues to push temperatures in the tropics downward, with the tropical troposphere chilling for the second consecutive month to its coolest temperature since the La Nina of 1989, according to Dr. John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville

Thousands of years ago the circulation of the North Pacific ocean changed substantially, releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, scientists in Scotland have found.

They found that the North Pacific had released large amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere around 15,000 years ago, when ocean currents in the Atlantic were also changing rapidly.

He writes: I say this is a result of the action of climate phenomena that oppose the cooling... if my theory were correct, we should see a volcanic signal in some other part of the climate system involved in governing the temperature... I should see an increase in the heat contained in the Pacific Ocean after the eruptions Thing is, El Ninos release heat from the ocean, they don't store Ocean after the eruptions Thing is, El Ninos release heat from the ocean, they don't store ocean, they don't store heat.

During the Earth's ice ages the Pacific Ocean stored large amounts of carbon, which for some reason it released again close to the last glacial period's end, warming the world and melting most of the icecaps.

Then some mysterious combination of flagging trades, QBO, and the up and downwelling effects of Rossby and Kelvin waves sloshing back and forth across the Pacific; suddenly releases this mechanically submerged warm water eastward across the Pacific ocean surface.

From the article: A new study released Monday found that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of North America over the past century closely followed natural changes in the wind, not increases in greenhouse gases related to global warming.

Lead author de Freitas said in a press release, â $ œThe surge in global temperatures since 1977 can be attributed to a 1976 climate shift in the Pacific Ocean that made warming El Nià ± o conditions more likely than they were over the previous 30 years and cooling La Nià ± a conditions less likely.»

Global surface temperatures in the last few years have received a bump in recent years because of a large El Niñ0 event, which brought warm water up from the depths of the Pacific ocean and released the energy into the atmosphere.

The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Thursday that last year was the warmest on record by a wide margin, stoked by greenhouse gases and an El Nino weather event that released heat from the Pacific Ocean.

The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Thursday that past year was the warmest on record by a wide margin, stoked by greenhouse gases and an El Nino weather event that released heat from the Pacific Ocean.

1998, for example, was a very warm year because an El Nino event in the Pacific released a lot of heat from the ocean.

The La Nina that follows the El Nino returns part of the leftover warm water to the Pacific Warm Pool for the next El Nino, redistributes the rest of the warm water to nearby oceans, and recharges the heat released by the El Nino through increases in downward shortwave radiation.

The La Nina event of 1998/99/00 / 01 recharged the heat content released by the 1997/98 El Nino and returned the tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Content to the new higher levels established during the 1995/96 La Nina.

Kevin C's excellent trend tool shows us what the new data mean for the surface temperature trend since 1970: it's about +0.17 C per decade, but there's a range in that because short term wiggles are caused by things like the El Nino - La Nina cycle in the Pacific which warm or cool the atmosphere by storing or releasing heat from the oceans.

It was entirely a result of THWBE whereby heat already stored in the oceans and released by a positive phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation supplemented a historically high level of solar irradiation.

While that still is sparse for the full oceans (especially the South Pacific) surface, all repeated measurements of the same places over time show an increase in DIC, and as far as measured, a decrease in pH. That includes the main upwelling areas where the deep ocean volcano releases should be measurable first.

The idea gained momentum recently when over 1,000,000 tons of sulfur dioxide was released into the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.

However, an ENSO episode is a local release of heat stored in the South Pacific Ocean into the atmosphere (or a local storing of heat causing the atmosphere to cool during the opposite phase).

Those who pay attention to such things knew it would be warm; the central Pacific was plainly shifting into its El Nino mode, and when that happens, global temperatures rise a bit as energy is released from ocean to atmosphere.

There was so much warm water released by the 1997/98 El Niño that the sea surface temperatures for the entire East Pacific Ocean (from pole to pole or the coordinates of 90S - 90N, 180 - 80W) temporarily warmed 0.5 to 0.6 deg C. See Figure 4.

It also indicates the models fail to include the largest natural process that periodically creates ocean heat content in the tropical Pacific and also periodically releases that heat from below the surface of the tropical Pacific and redistributes that warm water within the oceans.

Oceans continuous release CO2 in the equatorial band (including deep ocean upwelling in the Pacific) and dissolve CO2 near the poles (including deep ocean downwelling by the THC in the North Atlantic).

The East Pacific Ocean with those coordinates represents about 33 % of the surface of the global oceans, so that was a monumental amount of naturally created warm water that was released by the 1997/98 El Niño.

In making their seasonal outlook, which was released on May 23, NOAA cited a broad area of above - average sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic Basin, a continuation of a natural cycle of above - average hurricane activity, and a lack of an El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean as reasons why there may be more storms this year.

Past experience (Trenberth et al. 2002) suggests that global surface temperature rises at the end of and lagging El Niño, as heat comes out of the Pacific Ocean mainly in the form of moisture that is evaporated and which subsequently rains out, releasing the latent energy.

During an El Niño, the ocean releases its energy into the air, warming surface temperatures, having a knock - on effect on weather patterns around the globe, including weaker monsoons in India and more hurricanes over the Pacific.
