A recent paper Von Schuckmann & Le Traon (2011) put the kibosh on ocean cooling claims.

Kevin, even with greater evaporation, when one considers all the energy fluxes into and out of the ocean cool skin layer, as long as the change in net energy flux causes the cool skin to warm, the temperature gradient between the cool skin layer and the bulk ocean below it will decrease.

The ongoing difficulty of accurately measuring the Earth's ocean heat content has led to premature «skeptic» claims about ocean cooling.

Adding further greenhouse gases to the atmosphere warms the ocean cool skin layer, which in turn reduces the amount of heat flowing out of the ocean.

Kevin Cannon and colleagues propose that a large proportion of Martian clays were formed when the primary crust reacted with a dense steam or supercritical atmosphere of water and carbon dioxide that was outgassed during magma ocean cooling.

Further, during volcanic eruptions the ocean cools but for another reason: because volcanic aerosols shade the sun and thus the oceans are heated less than normal.

As the ocean cools, much more CO2 will dissolve in it and when the ocean warms again the CO2 is released.

The Mg / Ca estimates of tropical ocean cooling would be nearly impossible to reconcile with a global sensitivity of 2.3 degrees.

Anyway, the scientific conversation about ocean cooling went on.

My research shows that heat comes first, like heating the ocean, then the CO2 emitted from the ocean cools the earth back down.

For the low latitudes, the reconstruction, which in the SH low latitudes would be heavily weighted by ocean cooling, averages about 1 - 2 deg C, matching ECS values of ~ 2.2, close to the quoted median value in the paper.

I certainly looked even MORE closely at our ocean cooling results after they received some attention.

And eventually as the far more massive ocean cooled it would be able to hold more dissolved CO2, so atmospheric CO2 would be drawn down, thus reducing the greenhouse effect further (even more energy out).

As for the deniers who tried to jump on purported ocean cooling, I suggest you call in to the Rush Limbaugh show, or blog on far right sites.

The set of Comments and the original posting on Real Climate have advanced the discussion of the signficance and the issues associated with the observed recent upper ocean cooling.

I also found an interesting post and response that discussed fresh water possibly being behind sea level not behaving in a way ocean cooling would indicate.

This is still a bit too large to be contradictory to our ocean cooling findings, I think.

Even assuming that the dataset is comprehensive: Considering that the upper - ocean cooling is seen mainly at 30N and 30S, another explanation for this cooling is increased ocean — to — atmosphere heat transfer in these regions (possibly aided by hurricane - mixing of the upper ocean layer, and advection of deeper cold water as a result).

(They also loudly attacked climate modelers for not reproducing data on ocean cooling (which turned out to be due to some faulty instruments on Argo floats), and then just as loudly promoted results from models that predicted increased wind shear in the Atlantic.)

----- On a matter unrelated to the late Sir Arthur: @Thapa (# 5), see NASA's current issue of The Earth Observer (page 16): «These findings were enough to convince the scientists who initially reported the ocean cooling [Willis et al. (2007)-RSB- to go back and closely reexamine the recent ocean heat storage data they had collected.

Sorry, can't be done; enough ocean cooling to provoke 3 years of thermal contraction is not caused by a La Nina of a few months.

My assumption is that the ocean cooling, found by Lyman (2006) for 2003 - 2005, is real, even if the amplitude of this cooling is too high.

The findings on ocean cooling mid 20th century are fascinating on several levels, perhaps most in relation to modeling of 20th century climate change.
