Antarctica was also more sensitive to global carbon dioxide levels, Cuffey said, which increased as the global temperature increased because of changing ocean currents that caused upwelling of carbon - dioxide - rich waters from the depths of the ocean.

The north - south gradient of increasing glacier retreat was found to show a strong pattern with ocean temperatures, whereby water is cold in the north - west, and becomes progressively warmer at depths below 100m further south.

And if the surface concentration of carbonate increased by exchange with the atmosphere there's lots of room in the ocean depths to store it before it would cause much difference in the concentration of carbonate in upward moving water.

If the DLR decreases, the temperature gradient between the surface skin and bulk increases, and more heat flows from the ocean depths to the surface where it is radiated away.

The solar radiation «envelope» penetrates the ocean to 100 metres at visible wavelengths but to much shallower depths as the wavelength increases.

On top of that, warming increases ocean stratification, which blocks the movement of oxygen - rich surface waters to lower depths.

As for heat hiding in the ocean depths, one must first heat water and at the same time increase its density, otherwise it will just float on the denser, colder water below.

Ohio State University will conduct research in collaboration with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to increase our understanding of the occurrence, volume and distribution of natural gas hydrates in the northern Gulf of Mexico using more than 1,700 petroleum industry well logs that penetrate the gas hydrate stability zone, or the offshore depths and locations where gas hydrates flourish.

For the 2nd 4 - year model run in Figure 3, the value of heat flow into the ocean depths = 1.92 x 10 ^ 4 Joules / m ^ 2 per day — for both the solar increase and the equivalent DLR increase.

Once again we see that back radiation increases do change the temperatures of the ocean depths — and at almost identical values to the solar radiation changes.

I have no doubt mind you, that the bulk of the TOAenergy imbalance from increases in GH gases can be be found in the ocean at various depths, but what I seriously question is the direction of energy flow in accounting for the accumulation of about 0.5 x 10 ^ 22 joules per year of energy down to 2000 meters, and more when looking at even greater depths.

Observations since 1961 show that the average temperature of the global ocean has increased to depths of at least 3000 m and that the ocean has been absorbing more than 80 % of the heat added to the climate system.

Measurements show that the ocean is not doing that (the depths are cooler and always have been), and the land has been warming faster anyway since 1980 which is a fingerprint of an external forcing increase.
