A major feature of Figure 5.1 is the relatively large increase in
global ocean heat content during 1969 to 1980 and a sharp decrease during 1980 to 1983.

The
global increase in
ocean heat content during the period 1993 to 2003 in two
ocean models constrained by assimilating altimetric sea level and other observations (Carton et al., 2005; Köhl et al., 2006) is considerably larger than these observational estimates.
Based on the linear trend, for the 0 to 3,000 m layer for the period 1961 to 2003 there has been an increase of
ocean heat content of approximately 14.2 ± 2.4 × 1022 J, corresponding to a
global ocean volume mean temperature increase of 0.037 °C
during this period.
The error is small enough to have confidence that the
ocean heat content has been increasing in the past 15 years,
during the so called «hiatus» in
global warming.

«bserved increases in
ocean heat content (OHC) and temperature are robust indicators of
global warming
during the past several decades.
Instead, total annual average
ocean heat content has increased steadily
during the hiatus, at quite a confronting rate given that this metric is closely tied to
global sea - level rise.
Otherwise, when I read,
during a period of falling temperatures and
ocean heat content, «
Global warming is unequivocal,» * I hear, «Freddie Mac is cheap.»
Global hydrographic variability patterns
during 2003 — 2008 (Schuckmann 2009) analyses
ocean temperature measurements by the Argo network, constructing a map of
ocean heat content down to 2000 metres (H / T to Chris for bringing it to my attention).
It is interesting, however, that the slowdown in
ocean heat content accumulation
during 2004-2007/2008 coincides with a strong
global dimming
during that interval.
During 600 years of the HadCM3, control integration Ts is highly correlated (correlation R = 0.89) with
global annual mean
ocean heat content in the upper 113 m (H).
