Another principal investigator for the project, Laura Pan, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., believes storm clusters over this area of the Pacific are likely to influence climate in new ways, especially as the warm ocean temperatures (which feed the storms and chimney) continue to heat up and atmospheric patterns continue to evolve.

In extreme conditions — in this case, magma - heated water at an ocean depth of nearly 10,000 feet — things work a little differently.

«It helps to modulate the climate by transferring heat from the equator to the poles,» said coauthor Christina Ravelo, professor of ocean sciences at UC Santa Cruz.

One question that has long and intensively been discussed in research is: Where and how deep does seawater penetrate into the seafloor to take up heat and minerals before it leaves the ocean floor at hydrothermal vents?

In the North Atlantic, more heat has been retained at deep levels as a result of changes to both the ocean and atmospheric circulations, which have led to the winter atmosphere extracting less heat from the ocean.

A previous paper by Garrick - Bethell and some of the same coauthors described the effects of tidal stretching and heating of the moon's crust at a time 4.4 billion years ago when the solid outer crust still floated on an ocean of molten rock.

Because these waves are involved in ocean mixing and thus the transfer of heat, understanding them is crucial to global climate modeling, says Tom Peacock, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Climate models do not predict an even warming of the whole planet: changes in wind patterns and ocean currents can change the way heat is distributed, leading to some parts warming much faster than average, while a few may cool, at least at first.

These currents are driven by winds, ocean temperature and salinity differences, and are efficient at distributing heat and carbon around the globe.

Recent publications analyzing the Russian ice cores have suggested the presence of heat - loving microorganisms called thermophiles, suggesting hot geothermal vents like those in the ocean may exist at the bottom of the lake.

With the sun continuing to heat the ocean water at the tropical latitudes regardless of ice cap conditions up north, it would seem that the presence of an ice cap would result in a warmer ocean over the long term, with the converse also being true.

However, radiation changes at the top of the atmosphere from the 1980s to 1990s, possibly related in part to the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, appear to be associated with reductions in tropical upper - level cloud cover, and are linked to changes in the energy budget at the surface and changes in observed ocean heat content.

Anthropogenic climate change has continued, it's just not so visible in the surface... It's clearly visible if you look at the heat stored in the ocean, which has kept going during these 15 years.

Researchers looked at different ways Enceladus could be generating the heat to maintain the liquid ocean, producing models to find one that fits with Cassini observations.

The observed fact that temperatures increases slower over the oceans than over land demonstrates that the large heat capacity of the ocean tries to hold back the warming of the air over the ocean and produces a delay at the surface but nevertheless the atmosphere responds quit rapidly to increasing greenhouse gases.

With the albedo of older snow and ice at about 0.6, the open ocean will absorb more heat than the ice capped ocean.

Most of the heat being trapped at the Earth's surface by human greenhouse gas emissions is absorbed by the oceans.

Interestingly, those same winds are thought to be part of the mechanism burying heat in the Pacific Ocean, leading to the slower pace of rising temperatures at the planet's surface in recent decades.

On Europa the biggest density contrast is at the rock - ocean interface and we can therefore use gravity anomalies to look for heat flow as a proxy for volcanism.

This is not only in excellent agreement with the observed temperature changes at the surface (blue stars), it also correctly reproduces the observed heat storage in the oceans — a strong indicator that the model's heat budget is correct.

When greenhouse gases increase, more longwave radiation is directed back at the ocean surface, which warms the cool - skin layer, lowers the thermal gradient, and consequently reduces the rate of heat loss.

In Earth's oceans, that sort of heating shows up at sites known as hydrothermal vents.

«The reason this study is so exciting is that previous methods of reconstructing ocean heat content have very large age uncertainties, [which] smooths out the more subtle features of the record,» said co-author Sarah Shackleton, a graduate student in the Severinghaus lab at Scripps.

Aside from the fact that there's no physical support from such a picture, this state of affairs is highly unlikely because you'd still have to account for things like the way the system responds to CO2 at the LGM, the observed radiative imbalance of the planet at present, the observed penetration of heat into the upper ocean, and so forth.

The new results suggest a huge source of heat must reside at the seafloor of the ocean on Enceladus.
