Temperature tends to respond so that, depending on optical properties, LW emission will tend to reduce the vertical differential heating by cooling warmer parts more than cooler parts (for the surface and atmosphere); also (not significant within the atmosphere and ocean in general, but significant at the interface betwen the surface and the air, and also significant (in part due to the small heat fluxes involved, viscosity in the crust and somewhat in the mantle (where there are thick boundary layers with superadiabatic lapse rates) and thermal conductivity of the core) in parts of the Earth's interior) temperature changes will cause conduction / diffusion of heat that partly balances the differential heating.

The paper uses evidence and modeling to explain how the sun - blocking impact from a 50 - year stretch of unusually intense eruptions of four tropical volcanoes caused sufficient cooling to produce a long - lasting shift in the generation and migration of Arctic Ocean sea ice, with substantial consequences for the Northern Hemisphere climate that lasted centuries and left a deep imprint on European history.

Redistribution of heat (such as vertical transport between the surface and the deeper ocean) could cause some surface and atmospheric temperature change that causes some global average warming or cooling.

This loss of heat to the atmosphere makes the water cooler and denser, causing it to sink to the bottom of the ocean.

An example of a positive feedback is Arctic sea ice melting, which exposes the ocean, which absorbs far more energy than the snow and ice did, causing the ocean to heat (or the air to cool?).

Sorry, can't be done; enough ocean cooling to provoke 3 years of thermal contraction is not caused by a La Nina of a few months.

But as cogently interpreted by the physicist and climate expert Dr. Joseph Romm of the liberal Center for American Progress, «Latif has NOT predicted a cooling trend — or a «decades - long deep freeze» — but rather a short - time span where human - caused warming might be partly offset by ocean cycles, staying at current record levels, but then followed by «accelerated» warming where you catch up to the long - term human - caused trend.

It did not «cause» the LIA, as indeed, you know the LIA was quite variable, but it made a serious dent in global ocean heat content, and thus, was the doorway to the LIA cooling period that followed.

How can we distinguish that drop from the drop caused by a cooling ocean?

As the planet began to cool, more CO ₂ dissolved into the oceans, reducing the greenhouse effect and causing more cooling.

Now you say the Hiatus is caused by the oceans cooling.

Years - long ocean trends such as El Niño and La Niña cause alternate warming and cooling of the sea surface there, with effects on monsoons and temperatures around the world.

If what you are saying is that the Hiatus is caused by some of the ocean getting cooler and some of the ocean getting warmer that sounds like the ultimate in Ad - Hock ism.

To me, it is more likely the fluctuation in E-UV coming from the sun that causes the warming and cooling effects by changing the reactions that are happening on TOA, i.e. O3, HxOx and NOx are rising now, causing more back radiation of F - UV, meaning less energy going in the oceans.

The warmer oceans have warmed the cooler air, but what caused the majority of the warming?

If sensitivity to doubling CO2 is 1.6 C / doubling, that's too strong for the Sun or ocean cycles or whatever skeptics think is going to cause cooling to be able to compete.

Many people have postulated that there are cyclical changes in heat transfer from the oceans to the atmosphere which causes rhythmic cycles of warming / cooling.

This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).

Evaporation is a Endothermic process which causes a COOLING effect, so the first stage of H2O absorption MUST causes a slight cooling of the oceans which will offset the slight warming of the initiCOOLING effect, so the first stage of H2O absorption MUST causes a slight cooling of the oceans which will offset the slight warming of the initicooling of the oceans which will offset the slight warming of the initial CO2.

Because a cool ocean absorbs atmospheric heat more readily, that has partially offset the atmospheric warming caused by greenhouse gases.
