Sentences with phrase «ocean heat content»

Failure to include this aspect of ocean heat content changes the shape of the curve.

But when the first analyses of past ocean heat content changes appeared around the turn of the century they were rightly labelled «the smoking gun».

A major feature of Figure 5.1 is the relatively large increase in global ocean heat content during 1969 to 1980 and a sharp decrease during 1980 to 1983.

And very importantly, prior to 1957 we do nt have any meaningful data on ocean heat content.

To answer this, we need to view observations of ocean heat content over the past 40 years.

[2] This, in turn, could have driven the higher rate of increase in ocean heat content shown in [1].

But I imagine we didn't have accurate ocean heat content measurements then.

Rather than look at surface temperature, try looking at ocean heat content.

A major feature of Figure 5.1 is the relatively large increase in global ocean heat content during 1969 to 1980 and a sharp decrease during 1980 to 1983.

There have been advances in the last decade or so in measuring ocean heat content.

As for sea temperatures, they are less significant for analyzing «global warming» than estimated total ocean heat content.

For instance, Figure 15 compares the various different estimates of ocean heat content trends.

Instead, total annual average ocean heat content has increased steadily during the hiatus, at quite a confronting rate given that this metric is closely tied to global sea - level rise.

The tough question is how to calculate ocean heat content uptake from model output, any ideas?

It is not yet standard practice to use ocean heat content observations, which are available for the past 50 years, to validate forced climate simulations.

We know for the recent period that ocean heat content went up, not down.

First, tracking ocean heat content is considerably harder than tracking surface air temperature.

Even during the slow - down in the rise of surface temperatures, ocean heat content continued to rise.

I will bet that local ocean heat content fluctuations follow a scale - free power law distribution — 1 / f noise, not white, nor red.

Then they used the climate models to simulate by how much ocean heat content has risen since the 1970s.

You may now understand why global temperature, i.e. ocean heat content, shows such a strong correlation with atmospheric CO2 over the last 800,000 years — as shown in the ice core records.

The latter continues a fairly steady upward trend while the surface temperatures and upper ocean heat content undergo a hiatus in warming after about 2004.

Also notable is the substantial variation in ocean heating rates between the three different ocean heat content data sets.

This includes all of the forcings and feedbacks that govern ocean heat content.

Despite short - term variability in ocean heat content storage, each region has experienced long - term warming.
