Sentences with phrase «deep ocean heat»

Effectively, if we can not detect an anthropogenic signal in deep ocean heat data, anthropogenic global warming would necessarily be characterized as a belief, not a scientifically confirmed hypothesis.

The significance is substantial in that if it's really deep ocean heating, sea level rise is more of a problem.

I mean the process is supposedly that CO2 warms the atmosphere > atmospheric heat is then absorbed by the ocean > deep ocean heat causes sea levels to rise due to thermal expansion.

Look at environments here from deep ocean heat vents to Antarctica.

You and AFOMD might want to pawn this insufficient paper off as the answer to my question, BUT, it only deals with 2000 - 2010 and invokes the unproven and unseen deep ocean heat transfer as a mechanism for even just that 10 year period.

I believe Trenberth's travesty email highlighted the confusion on deeper ocean heat uptake.

Other indicators such as ocean acidification, increasing deep ocean heat, melting ice and permafrost, shrinking snow pack, and sea level rise further make the case that the additional carbon dioxide is affecting the global climate system.

There have been many explanations put borth inlcluding deep ocean heating, ozone chemistry, volcanoes reducing incident energy, trade winds and, of course, Cowtan and Way along with this latest data set that shows the energy imbalance is still tracking CO2.

Tony - Since deep ocean heat seems to be the lynch pin of much of the debate I am most interested in what you find out about the issue.

However, the key point here is that the observational data, including Curry's own reference, contradict her point by finding substantial deep ocean heat sequestration over the past decade.

They can see the 60 year cycle in temperatures, most likely caused by the AMO and / or north Altantic deep ocean heat content oscillations, but they refuse to «build - in» the AMO as a natural climate variable.

Additionally, previous scientific work has identified a number of transitory factors (such as changes in the radiative balance of the planet (e.g., volcanoes, solar energy), changes in ocean circulation and related deep ocean heat uptake, and atmospheric circulation changes) that have acted to reduce the rate of global temperature increase in recent decades.

Nobody is ignoring it, it is simply that there are a number of phenomena to consider, anthropogenic forcing is obviously not one of them given the uneven nature and lack of a credible AO mechanism, the IPCC haven't got as far as verifying their «expected» mechanism with observations at the surface so it's inane to attribute deep ocean heating to aGHGs.

This is what the von Schuckmann paper had to say about the graph: Figure 11a shows the variability of globally averaged deep ocean heat content computed from the monthly temperature anomaly fields.

As soon as we get good at measuring deep ocean heat content we will discover that the extra heat we all know to be accumulating is hiding in some other, unmeasurable place.

However, as we recently discussed, the increase in deep ocean heat content is a robust result in data sets that do not include reanalysis.
