The heat content of the world ocean increased by ~ 2 × 10 ^ 23
joules between the mid-1950s and mid-1990s, representing a volume mean warming of 0.06 °C.
Not exact matches
These various contributions total
between 45 to 115 x 1020
joules per year.
Thanks,
Joules, for helping to establish that even in this rather nonphysical limit — one not unlike that represented in the small molecular dynamical simulations one can find that turn on gravity for only a few particles bouncing around in a box so that particles visibly slow down
between collisions — thermal equilibrium is still isothermal.
That last attempt took the middle ground of allowing both P and V to increase, which I associated with a specific heat for air of 25
joules / mole / K, intermediate
between cv = 21 and cp = 29 for air.
I noted that
between ~ 1995 and ~ 2005 the heat content of top 600 m of the world's oceans allegedly increased by ~ 10 ^ 20 J. Big number but they can not measure
Joules, they measure temperatures.
Here are some figures from the March 2009 copenhagen Conference Synthesis report on energy accumulated
between 1961 & 2003, all in 10 ^ 22

You have to believe that in order to believe anything above 3 or 4, in which case, what's the difference
between storing 26 gazillions
joules and 53 gazillion
joules?
If we had reasonably accurate delta
joules / year data relating to the various forcings, we could wiggle match
between the data and the global temperature curve.
You have the relationship
between calories and
joules inverted.
Energy: Energy before atmospheric entry: 1.99 x 1021
Joules = 4.74 x 10 ^ 5 MegaTons TNT The average interval
between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth during the last 4 billion years is 2.6 x 10 ^ 6 years
This allows us to convert easily
between Joules / year and W / m2
