A comparison of the linear trends from these two series indicates that about 69 % of the increase in ocean heat content during 1955 to 1998 (the period when estimates from both time series are available) occurred in the upper 700 m of the World Ocean.

Any filtered average
of a

trend itself, so the

trend in the first half
of the period).
