Not exact matches
Firstly, we know that
there is a great deal of decadal variability in how much and where
deep convection takes place.
It would be nice
there were more timely reporting of
deep convection measurements.
We can check the current SST and see that this matches what is going on currently, except for the cold region near 50N 25W, which was
there not too long ago, but has recently disappeared, so we appear to be in a phase of high
deep - water
convection in the North Atlantic.
That is all co2 radiation
deeper into the troposphere is all absorbed and the radations
there has no function but to equalize all temperature variances within the troposhere, by radiation transfer within, not just
convection and conduction.
In fact the shortwave energy absorbed during the tropical summer at depth remains
there until the winter when the humidity falls enough so that evaporative cooling sets up strong enough vertical
convection to overcome the shallow diurnal reversals in the topmost one to three meters and dredge those
deeper waters up to surface where some more rapid cooling can take place.
In that case, persistent
deep convection did not occur in the central Pacific, and the usual strong interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean
there failed to play its normal role in anchoring the
convection and heat transfer.
