«This is a very important step toward determining what the heating mechanisms are,» says Eric Priest, an applied mathematician at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland and pioneer of the observing technique used in the new observation.

The reason I think that this is important is that if some other mechanism is heating the oceans, then wouldn't they be expected to outgas CO2?

This tells us that, no matter how important ENSO is as a mechanism for redistributing the excess heat of the equatorial Pacific, it is NOT the mechanism that drives the multidecadal oscillations of global temperatures.

Another important nonradiative mechanism is the exchange of heat that occurs when the temperature of the air is different from that of the surface.

Direct heat transfer to the air may be an important cooling mechanism that limits the maximum temperature of hot dry surfaces.

A compelling case for geothermal forcing lies in the fact that 1) geothermal heat can trigger thermobaric convection and strengthen oceanic overturning, important mechanisms for transferring ocean heat to the overlying atmosphere, and 2) seismic activity is the leading indicator, while global temperature is the laggard.

This, though Wells certainly could not have dreamed it, is actually an important part of the mechanism of the greenhouse effect: when greenhouse gases increase, they shorten the average length that radiant heat can travel through the atmosphere before being absorbed.

In fact, this source of global A: $ kv is about 36x as important as H2O and CO2 heat trapping mechanisms combined.

For example, those towering thunderstorm clouds (cumulonimbus) are very important mechanisms in transporting heat, but are too small for the large grid system of the models.
