Since Trenbreth did not provide a mechanism for the heat to go from the atmosphere to the lower levels of the ocean, and since we are talking about the same amount of heat, that which would make the atmosphere not climb in temperature for 10 to 15 years, it is much much more reasonable to assume the heat went from the surface of the ocean to Trenbreth's depths (the ocean simply overturned).

What is happening here is that the two (Hansen and Trenberth) whom you describe as «not, in fact, fanatics blinded by dogma» were surprised by the recent «lack of warming» (i.e. slight cooling) of the atmosphere as well as the upper ocean, despite CO2 increase to record levels, as this does not provide much support for the premise that human CO2 is driving our climate.

Hurricanes draw their energy from the ocean and warmer waters provide an increase in both temperature and moisture content of the tropical atmosphere, which leads to storm intensification.
