Is the land heating more quickly than the sea surface for some reason, or is the transfer of warm water to
deeper layers speeding up?

Known as seismic reflection data, the images are created by equipment that generates sound waves and records the
speeds at which the waves bounce off faults and different rock
layers deep within the ground.
Because different noble gases move at various
speeds through rock and water, the proportions present revealed that although the gases had come from
deep underground, they had arrived directly rather than percolating through
layers of rock and water (PNAS, DOI: 10.1073 / pnas.1322107111).
Bruce Balick of the University of Washington used to think that fliers were
speeding chunks of stellar ash that had somehow been coughed up from
deep within the core of a dying star and had broken through the surrounding
layers of gas and dust.
``... it is true that transport of heat to
deeper layers my be a part of the signal (MOC shutdown), but in my opinion, the magnitude and
speed of the cooling are too large to be entirely explained this way.
