Through the Lombok straits, between Bali and Lombok flows the Indonesian through flow, a massive volume of water that passes from the pacific to the Indian Ocean.

The parking lot has been shifted so it is perpendicular to the ocean and the floodplain has been opened up, so that should a large rain event occur, the lagoon will be able to handle the heavy volumes of water that flow down Redwood Creek and out to the Pacific.

The changes in volume over a season also tell us how much ice is produced, how much heat is extracted from the ocean, how much brine is injected into the ocean as a result of ice growth and how much melt water is injected back into the ocean.

Idea: volcano heated ocean to increase melt of artic ice: Volume of water in artic (about 1 % of world's ocean vol.)

Please be precise about the mechanisms, volumes and timescales, just saying ocean circulations is not good enough, given what we know about the very long timescales involved to move the water.

Henry's law doesn't really work well for complex carbonate equilibria and big volumes of liquid water, but even as an approximation, let's assume that if we have 38,000 Gt of dissolved inorganic carbon, DIC, (CO2 + HCO3 + CO3) in the oceans, and the preindustrial CO2 in the atmosphere is about 2,200 gigatons (300 ppm), that's a ratio of about 0.06 (atm / ocean).

Consider that oceans surface water is a tiny part of the complete ocean volume.

Be thankful that the we are insulated from the huge volume of cold waters that comprise the ocean, because if it ever became far more mixed with the surface layers we would plunge into permanent glaciation.

This is very interesting, not the missing data or that stuff, but the ocean surface temperature looks to be tightly constrained by the specific volume of the atmosphere and the freezing points of water.

It seems that those who fear AGW (or at least some of them) do admit that it is not realistic to expect a planetary atmosphere such as ours to warm up oceans of water over the timescale required by AGW theory because of the huge volume and density of that water and thus the heat storage differentials.

On decadal and longer time scales, global mean sea level change results from two major processes, mostly related to recent climate change, that alter the volume of water in the global ocean: i) thermal expansion (Section 5.5.3), and ii) the exchange of water between oceans and other reservoirs (glaciers and ice caps, ice sheets, other land water reservoirs - including through anthropogenic change in land hydrology, and the atmosphere; Section 5.5.5).

You continue, «Lets consider LWR (long wave radiation) and SWR (short wave radiation) with LWR not being able to warm a small volume of water and especially not the deep ocean when compared to SWR.

The difference in the role between LWR and SWR on a volume of the ocean is like comparing a teaspoon of water with a swimming pool.

Due to the huge volume of sea water and the density differentials between air and ocean that would be impossible or would require such huge amounts of atmospheric heating and such huge lengths of time that for practical purposes it should be ignored.

Ice displacement patterns such as the one below will drive a great volume of ice out of the Arctic Ocean and into warmer waters.

For instance, if global warming were to increase the volume of water in the oceans by causing glaciers or other ice bodies to melt, this would cause the weight of water in the oceans to increase.

We saw in Section 2 that water densities (and hence volume) are quite variable throughout the oceans.

The IPCC projections of sea level rise are based largely on the slow, steady and inexorable thermal expansion of the oceans (as water heats, its volume increases) with some additional contributions from the melting of mountain glaciers (almost all of which are expected to be gone by mid century).

Whether it exists as ice or water, it still has the same mass, it still displaces the same volume and there's no change in the volume of the ocean if it melts.

In summary the melting of land ice floating on the ocean will introduce a volume of water greater than that of the originally displaced sea water, hence raising the water level a little.

SLR satellite data includes things such as the «GIA Adjustment» — which is the amount of SLR that there would have been if the ocean basin hadn't increased in volume and in the case of this new study, how much higher the sea surface would have been if it had not been suppressed by the Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption, another correction for ENSO / PDO «computed via a joint cyclostationary empirical orthogonal function (CSEOF) analysis of altimeter GMSL, GRACE land water storage, and Argo - based thermosteric sea level from 2005 to present», as well as other additions and adjustments — NONE OF WHICH can actually be found manifested in any change to the physical Sea Surface Height.»

Now consider thermohaline currents, hugh volumes of water slowly circulating around the world's oceans.
