Oceans, these vast extensions of water masses, move incessantly transporting nutrients and heat.

You've got the radiative physics, the measurements of ocean temperature and land temperature, the changes in ocean heat content (Hint — upwards, whereas if if was just a matter of circulation moving heat around you might expect something more simple) and of course observed predictions such as stratospheric cooling which you don't get when warming occurs from oceanic circulation.

This type of warming can not be produced by the ocean circulation, which to a first approximation just moves heat around on the planet — what it robs from Peter it gives to Paul.

The paper illustrates the importance of remembering that the atmosphere and ocean surface are just a small component of the Earth's climate system — with the ocean depths having a vast capacity to absorb and move heat on time scales ranging from years to centuries and longer.

Moving it to the depths is an opportunity to replace all fossil fuels with heat pipe ocean thermal energy conversion.

In some places heat is moving into the ocean, and in some it's moving from the ocean to the atmosphere.

Presumably, it does take a lot of energy to move that much water faster, with the heat potentially being redistributed into deeper ocean layers associated with perhaps poorly understood fluctuations of the Antarctic convergence at depth?

The oceans are warming, and these hurricanes represent one mechanism that moves the heat from the surface to high levels in the atmosphere where it can escape to space.

The process of such evaporation and then condensation together with those other weather processes is an express route to get heat energy from ocean to surface to atmosphere to space and the bigger the temperature differential between ocean surface, atmosphere and space the faster they must all work to move the atmosphere back towards a temperature equilibrium.

By default, water at the surface does not move (a «slab ocean»), but it is also possible to prescribe ocean heat transport or to take wind - driven ocean heat transport in low latitudes into account through a simple one - dimensional model driven by surface winds.

Nobody cares about milli - degree warming of the vast, cold deep ocean nor can such heat move against a temperature gradient and come out to bite us.

However, it also shows that as the radiation moves into the infra - red, the ability of the deeper ocean to absorb heat rapidly diminishes.

We have had lengthy heating phase caused by a spurt of insolation, now we have had a big El Nino, a subsequent shift to La Nina and the resulting warm currents moving up the the Western Pacific, causing warming polar oceans and changes in atmospheric water vapor content.

The sun's heat on the Earth's surface and atmosphere provides the energy to move the atmosphere and oceans, producing winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle.»

But when it comes to heat moving into the deep ocean... well you can't think of how that could happen so you conclude it can not.

SUN, yo: sequestered in the oceans, lakes and subsurface clays, and the heat is on the move, and the heat continually arrives as we all know based on anciet scrolls — i.e.: the heat it arrives via a flaming chariot drawn by four winged horses that are flogged by GOD

According to Trenberth the deep ocean is warming due to the action of increasing global winds causing surface heat to move to the deep ocean.

You think that identifying the Sun as the origin of all the heat is some sort of contradiction with saying energy is moving from air to ocean?

That statement can not have been connected with the specific question of how energy moves out of the air into the deep ocean because you had just literally told us to «Forget about how the missing heat might get from the atmosphere down to the ocean deeps below 700 metres.»

How much heat will that move into the ocean considering water vapor is a gas and will be swept fairly quickly into the atmosphere?

Some of that rain will fall onto land, moving some of the heat from land into the ocean.

Presently, upon reaching the Atlantic Ocean, weather fronts move this heat directly to the North Pole region.

It is an oscillation which simply moves heat from oceans to air and vice-versa, so even if there were a period of predominantly positive PDO over the long - term, the oceans would cool as a consequence of the transfer of heat to the overlying air.

R. Gates responds to Matthew R. Marler's question with the following gobbledegook: «If you put a jacket on (which is essentially what the atmosphere is in relation to the ocean) that jacket does not warm your body, but allows the heat from your body to move to the cold air outside the jacket less readily.»

I'd just like to make sure I understood your post correctly: the common answer to the «contrarian talking point» that much of the observed recent climate change could just be caused by natural variability in the climate system is that this would imply, broadly speaking, heat being moved from the oceans to the atmosphere — whereas we observe the opposite, oceans storing heat.

Another factor is convection currents in water allow heat to move into the depths and oceans are very deep.
