Deep
oceanic mixed layer temperature anomalies from one winter become decoupled from the surface during summer and then «reemerge» through entrainment into the mixed layer as it deepens the following winter.
Not exact matches
ENSO events, for example, can warm or cool ocean surface
temperatures through exchange of heat between the surface and the reservoir stored beneath the
oceanic mixed layer, and by changing the distribution and extent of cloud cover (which influences the radiative balance in the lower atmosphere).

It was therefore easily rebutted when I wrote your «totally unsuitable» is contradicted by three papers: Arrhenius's 1896 paper proposing a logarithmic dependence of surface
temperature on CO2, Hansen et al's 1985 paper pointing out that the time needed to warm the
oceanic mixed layer would delay the impact of global warming, and Hofmann et al's 2009 paper modeling the dependence of CO2 on time as a raised exponential.
Likewise the
oceanic mixed layer (the top one or two hundred meters of water that is roughly constant in
temperature compared to deeper down, due to wave - induced
mixing in that
layer) delays global warming but does not stop it.
I should also have given a more complete list of the problems with your objections: in this case your «totally unsuitable» is contradicted by three papers: Arrhenius's 1896 paper proposing a logarithmic dependence of surface
temperature on CO2, Hansen et al's 1985 paper pointing out that the time needed to warm the
oceanic mixed layer would delay the impact of global warming, and Hofmann et al's 2009 paper modeling the dependence of CO2 on time as a raised exponential.
For instance, it is known that the
oceanic skin
temperature erodes when the sea surface is affected by strong winds, creating a well -
mixed layer that can reach depths of several tens of meters.
