That's because we've tracked down 10 cars with affordable MSRPs that still deliver impressive levels of upscale content, including leather seating surfaces, LED lights, mobile Wi - Fi hotspots, and heated and ventilated seats.

This means that, e.g., if heat moves from the tropical surface water (temp about 25C) to surface waters at lower temps, the net effect is a subsidence of sea level — even without any change in total heat content.

C isothermic level in the pacific appeared to rise from an average of 400 meters to about 100 meters recently; I find myself wondering then how is it that the oceans heat content is dropping, the solar input appears to be consistant, that one of the GEWEX comitties appears to indicate that the atmospheric water vapor seems to be decreasing.

The latter has an omega - 3 content that will never exceed 30 percent, since that is the maximum level of fatty acids occurring in the fish from which its taken, and it must be heated in order to release those stored fats.

The influence of anthropogenic forcing has also been detected in various physical systems over the last 50 years, including increases in global oceanic heat content, increases in sea level, shrinking of alpine glaciers, reductions in Arctic sea ice extent, and reductions in spring snow cover (Hegerl et al., 2007).

The appearance of the first studies on Ocean Heat Content during the 2000's would have been one of the significant factors in the IPCC increasing its level of confidence that AGW was real in its 4th report in 2007.

And of course, the issue of the consistent rise in the best metric of Earth's energy balance - ocean heat content and the closely related sea level rise, get's ignored as though, through some miracle, a warming ocean holding in the bulk of the anthropogenic energy imbalance gives we troposphere dwelling creatures a free pass.

DK12 used ocean heat content (OHC) data for the upper 700 meters of oceans to draw three main conclusions: 1) that the rate of OHC increase has slowed in recent years (the very short timeframe of 2002 to 2008), 2) that this is evidence for periods of «climate shifts», and 3) that the recent OHC data indicate that the net climate feedback is negative, which would mean that climate sensitivity (the total amount of global warming in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 levels, including feedbacks) is low.

The 2012 paper, World Ocean Heat Content and Thermosteric Sea Level change (0 - 2000 m), 1955 - 2010, by Levitus et al. points to the fact that over the study's span, to a depth of 2000 meters, the oceans have warmed by an average of 0.09 C.

Curry also argues that the rate of sea level rise during 1930 — 1950 was similar to that in recent years, according to the IPCC, which suggests that ocean heat content was increasing at a similar rate to today.

In the IPCC SPM statement cited above, they include evidence of surface temperature, atmospheric temperature, ocean heat content, snow and ice melt, and sea level rise.

There is direct evidence from surface temperature data and atmospheric heat content data (both data sets with a relatively high level of maturity) of a plateau or hiatus of the warming for the past 16 years.

Since ENSO is a coupled ocean - atmosphere process, I have presented its impact on and the inter-relationships between numerous variables, including sea surface temperature, sea level, ocean currents, ocean heat content, depth - averaged temperature, warm water volume, sea level pressure, cloud amount, precipitation, the strength and direction of the trade winds, etc..

I've presented videos and gif animations to show the impacts of ENSO on ISCCP Total Cloud Amount data (with cautions about that dataset), CAMS - OPI precipitation data, NOAA's Trade Wind Index (5S - 5N, 135W - 180) anomaly data, RSS MSU TLT anomaly data, CLS (AVISO) Sea Level anomaly data, NCEP / DOE Reanalysis - 2 Surface Downward Shortwave Radiation Flux (dswrfsfc) anomaly data, Reynolds OI.v2 SST anomaly data and the NODC's ocean heat content data.

And while indicators like ocean heat content may respond more quickly or dramatically to the carbon emissions that cause climate change, surface temperature is more closely related to the effects of climate change — and the effects, after all, are what climate policies at any level are intended to ease.

I'm inclined to think that Ocean Heat Content, trends in land ice and Sea levels are more appropriate indicators of global climate change than surface air temperatures, but that's another issue.

Now of course I well understand the issues with ocean heat content measurements, especially prior to 2003 or so, but I think there is enough reliability to give you a good picture of the overall energy imbalance effects rippling down to the atmosphere and oceans as reflected by the 1 w / m ^ 2 TOA imbalance induced by the rising levels of greenhouse gases.

So, for example, if we go through a period of relative higher solar output, and less volcanic activity, relatively less cloudiness, and higher greenhouse gas levels, these would all tend to increase ocean heat content.

Once established, the heat content of the air at ground level is enough to keep the vortex going.

In a discussion with Sydney Levitus, the Lead Author of «World ocean heat content and thermosteric sea level change (0 — 2000 m), 1955 — 2010» I was intrigued by something he asked me to look up in the paper, which at that time I had not read yet:

Actually Fielding's use of that graph is quite informative of how denialist arguments are framed — the selected bit of a selected graph (and don't mention the fastest warming region on the planet being left out of that data set), or the complete passing over of short term variability vs longer term trends, or the other measures and indicators of climate change from ocean heat content and sea levels to changes in ice sheets and minimum sea ice levels, or the passing over of issues like lag time between emissions and effects on temperatures... etc..

«The heat content of the upper ocean is a key climate indicator, contributing to a substantial portion of the global sea level rise.

The La Nina event of 1998/99/00 / 01 recharged the heat content released by the 1997/98 El Nino and returned the tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Content to the new higher levels established during the 1995/96 La Nheat content released by the 1997/98 El Nino and returned the tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Content to the new higher levels established during the 1995/96 Lcontent released by the 1997/98 El Nino and returned the tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Content to the new higher levels established during the 1995/96 La NHeat Content to the new higher levels established during the 1995/96 LContent to the new higher levels established during the 1995/96 La Nina.

You can't be possibly thinking that the movement of air parcels and their decompression and later compression is a process that results in an increase of the heat content and somehow balances out at today's observed levels?

And the 1998/99/00 / 01 La Nina recharged the tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Content after the 1997/98 El Nino, returning it to the new higher level established by the La Nina of 1995/96.

How did they calculate ocean heat content at 2000 meters below sea level, prior to start of the ARGO program?

What he does not do, and should have done is plotted the change in the effect over time against some emperical measure of either temperature or surface heat content (either OHC directly for when we have the data, or glacial extents, or sea levels).

I would define the «heat content of the system» as a measurement of the energy levels of the seas, ground and atmosphere combined.

I basically agree, it's about thermal response (as a proxy for heat content AKA energy levels) from readings / calculations of the atmosphere's thermal profile in bands, if we're speaking of satellites.

To say nothing of the warming trends also noticed in, for example: * ocean heat content * wasting glaciers * Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheet mass loss * sea level rise due to all of the above * sea surface temperatures * borehole temperatures * troposphere warming (with stratosphere cooling) * Arctic sea ice reductions in volume and extent * permafrost thawing * ecosystem shifts involving plants, animals and insects

In addition, multidecadal measurements of steric sea level rise (a rise due to thermal expansion of sea water), and of ocean heat content have also been consistent with the temperature trends.

To be fair, Rahmstorf is arguing against using ocean heat content in the context of a «climate policy target», R Gates has suggested it in the context of «gains in Earth's climate system energy levels».
