While Methane and Nitrous oxide gases are more short lived, Co2 is long lived in the atmosphere, so stopping some of the gases will not eliminate the long term forcing on the oceanic thermal absorption.

There is no reason to expect a trend reversal (unless you have some new data and modeling you would like to share (that has made it through peer review and peer response and survived)-RRB- to to the amount of forcing in the system, the lifetime of Co2 in the atmosphere, the human industrial output and the oceanic thermal inertia and lag time for absorption.

If that does not happen, then we can only conclude that something other than the state of the atmosphere is the principal driver of oceanic temperatures.

Warming of the oceans leads to increased vertical stratification (decreased mixing between the different levels in the oceans), which would reduce CO2 uptake, in effect, reducing the oceanic volume available to CO2 absorption from the atmosphere.

Now, as I pointed out in an earlier post (# 104), there IS some evidence of a trend toward serious oceanic heating beginning roughly 21 years after 1979 (i.e., 2000), which suggests that this could be due to heat transfer from the atmosphere beginning in ca 1979.

Melting permafrost outgasses CO2 and methane, and the decrease in sea ice allows oceanic CO2 to mix back into the atmosphere; taken together, these processes greatly amplify the effect of increased sunlight, driving a relatively rapid exodus from the ice age.

# 192 «For example a strengthening of wind over some oceanic region http://web.science.unsw.edu.au/~matthew/nclimate2106-incl-SI.pdf then would increase the heat flow atmosphere - > ocean, leading to lower (dynamic) equilibrium temperature in the atmosphere which of course occurs very fast, as the thermal mass of the atmosphere is very low compared to the net energy throughput.»

Based on findings related to oceanic acidity levels during the PETM and on calculations about the cycling of carbon among the oceans, air, plants and soil, Dickens and co-authors Richard Zeebe of the University of Hawaii and James Zachos of the University of California - Santa Cruz determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased by about 70 percent during the PETM.

Given that the answer to this for atmospheric models is a resounding «NO» (particularly because of sub-grid scale processes which need to be effectively pre-ordained through parameterizations), and given that oceanic circulations have much longer adjustment time scales, yet also have much more intense small scale (gyre) circulations than the atmosphere, my instinct is that we are not even close to being able to trust ocean models without long term validation data.

The oceans, which provide part of the boundary conditions for the atmosphere, also have sufficient time to change appreciably, and the change in the oceanic state must be taken into account.

They are partitioned between the atmosphere and oceanic or terrestrial sinks.

The mechanism by which the oceanic effect is transferred to the atmosphere involves evaporation, convection, clouds and rainfall the significance of which has to date been almost entirely ignored due to the absence of any relevant figures.

As for the consistency in sign, my rule of thumb has been that there is no significant communication between the north and south polar regions through the atmosphere (this comes up in the context of glacial - interglacial fluctuations) so it would have to be oceanic.

3) In my comment https://judithcurry.com/2011/08/04/carbon-cycle-questions/#comment-198992 I have proved, that the recent increase of CO2 content in atmosphere has been mainly caused by global warming of oceanic sea surfaces, especially in the areas where CO2 sinks on sea surface are; sea surfaces on the areas of CO2 sinks are warming by lag compared to climate warming.
