An atmospheric general circulation model coupled to a simple mixed layer ocean was forced with altered
implied ocean heat transports during a period of increasing trace gases.
CO2 concentration was then instantaneously doubled, and the model was integrated to a new equilibrium with unchanged
implied ocean heat transport...
Not exact matches
Considered in isolation, the reduction in
ocean heat transport implies a possible moderation in the rate of Arctic sea ice loss in the coming decade.
This
implies stronger
transport of
heat to the deep
ocean and polar
oceans than is going on today, and suggests the observations are tracking in that direction.
