Rather, I expect that the hiatus will help us understand how ocean variability interacts with the long - term warming that humans are causing.

The temperature of the troposphere is constantly being affected by variations in the rate of energy flow from the oceans driven by internal ocean variability, possibly caused by temperature fluctuations along the horizontal route of the thermohaline circulation and by variations in energy flow from the sun that affect the size (and thus density) of the atmosphere and the rate of energy loss to space.

The potential role of ocean variability in the sub-seasonal atmospheric variability is another line of research that is increasing its visibility with the advancement of high - resolution ocean modeling capabilities.

Everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon to say that internal ocean variability is causing the pause, but this leads to questions about the role of oceans in the warming of the last quarter of the 20th century.

Although multidecadal ocean variability was a primary cause of the megadroughts of the last millenium (41), the emergence of a condition in which there is ∼ 100 % probability of an extremely warm year (Fig. 4) substantially increases the risk of prolonged drought conditions in the region (14, 39, 40).
