Sentences with phrase «heat content of the oceans»

He is also correct that global heat content of the ocean is a huge part of warming or the lack thereof, but his next statement is not entirely correct.

Is there an estimate for the total heat content of the ocean?

And that is precisely what this article is about — the attempt to measure if there is any change in the overall heat content of the oceans using ARGO buoys.

There is little Arctic amplification (relative to the global or hemispheric mean) in the summer months because the extra energy goes into evaporation and melting, while at the same time the extra sensible heat content of the oceans will eventually work its way into the atmosphere and have implications for the timing of seasonal re-growth in ice.

Also global heat content of the ocean (which constitutes 85 % of the total warming) has continued to rise strongly in this period, and ongoing warming of the climate system as a whole is supported by a very wide range of observations, as reported in the peer - reviewed scientific literature.

As such, they do not measure the heat content of the ocean, or ocean temps below the surface.

Near monotonic increase in the heat content of the oceans is the strongest, clearest expected signal based on the thermodynamics.

The most promising approach is to measure the rate of changing heat content of the ocean, atmosphere, land, and ice [64].

The heat content of the ocean going down to a depth of 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) also hit a new record high last year, the report noted.

The heat content of the oceans is growing and growing.

Is the heat content of the oceans increasing?

Changes in the heat content of the oceans.

But there are offsets between GHGs / aerosol combinations and solar activity (especially as derived by Hoyt and Schatten), which may have been underestimated (see Stott e.a. 2003) If one simply should compare only the influence of solar (by H&S or even LBB) with the increase in heat content of the oceans, one can get a similar conclusion: that solar is the main driving force in ocean heat content.

I would be suprised if the increased flow of cold water from the melting polar icecaps could decrease the total heat content of the oceans, given the amount of additional heat that must be in the oceans that is causing the coral bleaching episodes throughout the tropics.

However, as BPL notes, it is only a very small fraction of the measured increase in heat content of ocean & atmosphere and of the total amount of power (W / m ^ 2) which we receive from the sun.

Even with these possible issues, it buys us 50 years of economic growth and technological development and a net reduction in the heat content of the ocean, that the future warming must overcome.

The implication is that if climate change, driven by increasing greenhouse gases from human activity, increases the heat content of the ocean, storms passing over it will be able to draw ever more moisture that they can unload as rain.

Regarding the heat content of the oceans: I don't know.

I also suggested several recent blogposts from Dr. Spencer on cloud feedbacks and one by Roger Pielke regarding the heat content of the oceans.

Writing in the October 1 issue of Nature, David Victor and Charles Kennel, both of the University of California, San Diego, argue for pegging climate policy to a new «array of planetary vital signs,» such as changes in the heat content of the oceans.

Scientists have known for a while that the strength of tropical cyclones is linked to the heat content of the oceans, as Mei explains:

I'm still kinda stunned that more people don't see the sense of measuring the heat content of the oceans.
