oceans have absorbed much of the heat and
about a third of the additional carbon dioxide pumped into the

Disputes within climate science concern the nature and magnitude of feedback processes involving clouds and water vapor, uncertainties
about the rate at which the
oceans take up heat and carbon dioxide, the effects of
air pollution, and the nature and importance of climate change effects such as rising sea level, increasing acidity of the
ocean, and the incidence of weather hazards such as floods, droughts, storms, and heat waves.
Is it: The troposphere, close to the surface
air temperature, sea surface temperature, the temperature of the deep
oceans??? It matters, because the amount of energy accumulation which may warm the atmosphere by 1 K (K = Kelvin, same as Celsius) is only enough to warm the
oceans by
about 0.001 K.
The article talks
about how the warm
ocean temperatures, when mixed with cold
air from Canada, quickly create a very powerful storm.
The confusion on this subject lies in the fact that only
about 2 percent of global warming is used in heating
air, whereas
about 90 percent of global warming goes into heating the
oceans (the rest heats ice and land masses).
In fact, the
ocean has absorbed so much heat —
about 20 times as much as the atmosphere over the past half - century — that some models suggest that it is likely to warm the
air another degree Fahrenheit (0.55 ° Celsius) worldwide over the coming decades.
That statement can not have been connected with the specific question of how energy moves out of the
air into the deep
ocean because you had just literally told us to «Forget
about how the missing heat might get from the atmosphere down to the
ocean deeps below 700 metres.»
Well now, that is something you should take up with Webster, I just know that more efficient mixing increases the average temperature of the
oceans which is increasing the total heat in the
ocean system which has
about 1000 times the heat capacity of the
air that that heat would be lost to if the mixing didn't take place as efficiently.
Sidorenko tells
about the factors that affect Earth's rotation, both that short term variability is largely due to changes in the atmospheric
air movements and
ocean currents, and that the decades - long fluctuations have another source, speed of drift of the lithosphere.
