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.

More than 95 % of the 5 yr running mean of the surface temperature change since 1850 can be replicated by an integration of the sunspot data (as a proxy for ocean heat content), departing from the average value over the period of the sunspot record (~ 40SSN), plus the superimposition of a ~ 60 yr sinusoid representing the observed oceanic oscillations.

The great flow of Arctic deep water comes mainly from THC and is fed with NAD.It prooves the great sinking of water in this zone and the great oceanic heat transfer.

Polar amplification, in which temperatures at the poles rise more rapidly than temperatures at the equator (due to factors like the global atmospheric and oceanic circulation of heat from the equator to the poles), plays a major role in the rate of ice sheet retreat.

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.

Nature (with hopefully some constructive input from humans) will decide the global warming question based upon climate sensitivity, net radiative forcing, and oceanic storage of heat, not on the type of multi-decadal time scale variability we are discussing here.

Thus, if the absorption of the infrared emission from atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more of the heat introduced into the bulk of the upper oceanic layer by the absorption of sunlight to remain there to increase water temperature.

Here's a brief update on the great heat - toting oceanic currents that at one time were thought to be at risk from human - driven warming of the climate.

The oceanic heat store should be regarded as an additional heat source that adds or subtracts the effect of earlier solar irradiance (or lack of it) to or from the present day effect of current solar irradiance.

The oceanic heat store should be regarded as an additional heat source that adds or subtracts the effect of earlier solar irradiance (or lack of it) to or from the present day effect of current solar irradiance over variable periods of time.

During monsoon season the same is true for the advection of heat by the winds because winds blow predominantly from the colder oceanic surrounding.

The trend in oceanic heat content for the upper 1500 m over the six years from the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2010 is an increase of 0.55 watts per square meter, well outside the 0.1 W / m2 uncertainty.

With a dominant internal component having the structure of the observed warming, and with radiative restoring strong enough to keep the forced component small, how can one keep the very strong radiative restoring from producing heat loss from the oceans totally inconsistent with any measures of changes in oceanic heat content?

''... how can one keep the very strong radiative restoring from producing heat loss from the oceans totally inconsistent with any measures of changes in oceanic heat content?»

The presence of summer sea ice in the central Arctic Ocean — despite the elevated air temperatures14, 15, 64 — may have resulted from a reduced total oceanic heat flux towards the north, as suggested from (compared to the PI control runs) reduced AMOC patterns during LIG - 130 and LIG - 125 (Fig. 4).

I have already made it clear elsewhere that the additional resistor effect of human CO2 would be insignificant in relation to that from the rest of the air and the oceans together with the varying solar and oceanic heating and cooling effects but we still need to know for sure whether it is significant at all over periods of less than several hundred years because that may be the time we need to solve our energy, pollution, resource and population problems.

The weather systems move towards the equator to allow the polar air north of the jet streams to cover a larger oceanic area and thereby draw more heat from the oceans to replace any energy deficit.

The atmosphere is analogous to a flexible lens that is shaped by the density distribution of the gas molecules, of the atmosphere in the space between the sphere holding them, and space; Incoming heat gets collected in many ways and places,, primarily by intermittent solar radiation gets stored, in vast quantities, and slowly but also a barrage of mass and energy fluxes from all directions; that are slowly transported great distances and to higher altitudes mostly by oceanic and atmospheric mass flows.

They found that 68 percent of the variance in the date that ice retreats from the continental shelf break in the Chukchi Sea in spring can be explained by fluctuations in the April through June Bering Strait oceanic heat inflow.

On the 2000 meter depth graph over 2006 - 2014 of Poitou & Bréon, the yearly minima increased from 10 units to 16 units of 1022 J that is 0.41 W / m ²; but there is every year some oceanic heat storage during six months and a release of this heat the following six months: the maximum of the global outgoing longwave radiation is in July, shifted by 6 months w.r.t. the solar flux hat is maximum in January (1412 W / m ²) and minimum in July (1321 W / m ²).

A good place to start in comprehending the high variability of temperatures and sea ice in the Arctic is the recognition that, at those latitudes, the available heat comes primarily from oceanic and atmospheric advection, rather than local thermalization of insolation.

The measurements from the 3000 oceanic ARGO buoys since 2003 may suggest a slight decrease of the oceanic heat content between the surface and a depth 700 m with very significant regional differences.

I think this is a critical issue for the entire AGW construct because if the extra DLR from more GHGs can not add to ocean heat content then only the effects on the air need be considered and that would be insignificant in the face of oceanic control of surface air temperatures.

When surface temperature and humidity reach a threshold, clouds form which reduce incoming energy from the sun reaching the surface, particularly in Earth's vast oceanic tropics (where a disproportionate portion of it enters the climate system), while daily afternoon thunderstorms remove enough heat from surface areas to bring surface temperatures back into line.

The oceanic heat analysis above that lumps everything together, in the same way that global mean sea level analysis (from satellites), gives you a Computational Reality.

Based on recent research, Willoughby said, it is likely that «the strongest hurricanes will get stronger, because the oceanic heat source is stronger, but because of increased shear of the surrounding winds, the numbers will go down, and the locus of activity in the Atlantic is more likely to move to the open Atlantic from the Gulf [of Mexico].»
