If we have evidence that the deep ocean is coming «into play» NOW, that implies surface -
deep heat exchange and therefore, presumably, gas exchange.
Not exact matches
It was the Antarctic ice, they argue, that cut off
heat exchange at the ocean's surface and forced it into
deep water.
... not intended to suggest that the
heat capacity
exchange / transfer / transport rates used are a realistic representation of actual ocean circulation, although from what little I know, it could be a step in that general direction from using one upper and one
deep ocean reservoir.
If the surface layer of the ocean is not quickly
exchanging energy with the troposphere, which it can do easily and quickly but retaining the energy, why is it not
heating up far more rapidly, If you are saying it is getting rid of it to the
deep oceans, how precisely is it doing this so quickly?
Yan, 2014: Lateral
heat exchange after
deep convection in the Labrador Sea in 2008.
In the North Atlantic Ocean, variations in the ocean circulation affect the
heat exchange to the
deeper waters of the ocean.
Given the vast pool of very cold water in the
deep ocean, even modest changes in the rate it
exchanges heat with the surface can produce large changes in temperature without any change in the planetary radiative balance.
However, this is simply an admission that the models fail to simulate the
exchanges of
heat between the surface layers and the
deeper oceans.
That water sinks in a slow more viscous flow
exchanging very little
heat producing a thermal boundary in the
deep oceans.
The
deep ocean below that tends to have only slow
exchange of
heat with the mixed layer.
This time is sufficiently long to allow substantial
heat exchange between the mixed layer and
deeper layers.
Hi
Deep Climate (whoever you are), there are presently
heated exchanges going on about this very subject.
