The research, published in Nature Geoscience and led by researchers from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the University of Exeter, Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et l'Environnement, the University of Hawai'i and ETH Zürich, has for the first time shown that increased leaching of carbon from soil, mainly due to deforestation, sewage inputs and increased weathering, has resulted in less carbon being stored on land and more stored in rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries and coastal zones — environments that are together known as the «land - ocean aquatic continuum».

If we think of hurricanes as Stirling heat engines, then we realize that the two reservoirs are the mixed layer of the surface ocean (1) and the upper atmosphere (2); note that there is a general trend of stratospheric cooling as well.

These results provide new insights into the role that the deep ocean plays as a storage reservoir for carbon, a process that helps to dampen the effects of human - driven climate change.

The carbon cycle defines the fate of CO2 injected into the air by fossil fuel burning [1], [168] as the additional CO2 distributes itself over time among surface carbon reservoirs: the atmosphere, ocean, soil, and biosphere.

This fact allow the ocean to be considered as a giant possible reservoir of methane.

Changes in Antarctica are much smaller and more gradual, as it is far from the centre of action and the vast reservoir of ocean around it acts as a heat store.

- stefan] Changes in Antarctica are much smaller and more gradual, as it is far from the centre of action and the vast reservoir of ocean around it acts as a heat store

In our chat, Rosenthal said the work reveals the enormous capacity of the oceans to act as an efficient and copious reservoir for heat: «Maybe the ocean is taking the heat more and won't exhale it as much.»

The DK12 feedback calculation is invalidated by focusing on noisy short - term data and failing to account for all radiative forcings at work, as well as all heat reservoirs, in particular the oceans below 700 meters.»

The global oceans act as giant heat reservoirs and add inertia to the steadily escalating push from human greenhouse gases.

This finds stronger and solid footing in Article 5.1, which states, «Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases» (i.e. «biomass, forests and oceans, and other terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems»).

And I'll mention this again, given that it has been overlooked by Salby's brave work; David Stockwell has a new paper which relies on the variations of TSI above and below a period average to determine GAT, with the oceans acting as heat reservoirs; see his comment here:

As more accessible reservoirs are emptied, energy companies exploit the remotest parts of the planet, bribing and bullying governments to allow them to break open unexploited places: from the deep ocean to the melting Arctic.

I suppose glaciers and sea ice are also a factor as reservoirs, although the latter is just a part of the ocean.

Carbon - removal strategies, as the name implies, remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it through various means, such as in soils, trees, underground reservoirs, rocks, the ocean and even products like concrete and carbon fiber.

As the dominant reservoir for heat, the oceans are critical for measuring the radiation imbalance of the planet and the surface layer of the oceans plays the role of thermostat and heat source / sink for the lower atmosphere.

It is misleading to consider only the atmosphere and ocean, as the climate models do, and ignore the other reservoirs.

The carbon cycle defines the fate of CO2 injected into the air by fossil fuel burning [1], [168] as the additional CO2 distributes itself over time among surface carbon reservoirs: the atmosphere, ocean, soil, and biosphere.

Subsequently, the carbon continues to be moved between the different reservoirs of the global carbon cycle, such as soils, the deeper ocean and rocks.

In the Arctic, however, when the Arctic Ocean freezes, there is comparatively little other ocean in the neighborhood to serve as an alternate reservoir that can supply water vapor that will reach the northern landmasses before precipitation elsewOcean freezes, there is comparatively little other ocean in the neighborhood to serve as an alternate reservoir that can supply water vapor that will reach the northern landmasses before precipitation elsewocean in the neighborhood to serve as an alternate reservoir that can supply water vapor that will reach the northern landmasses before precipitation elsewhere.

Seasonal exchanges are huge: about 20 % of all CO2 in the atmosphere is exchanged between atmosphere and other reservoirs over the seasons, but as the exchanges with oceans and vegetation are countercurrent with temperature (vegetation in the NH dominates), the net result is only some 2 % change in the atmosphere over the seasons which is visible in the Mauna Loa curve.

[1975] Greenland, which is a small Antarctica, a polar landmass entirely surrounded by water, has an ocean to the south that remains as a vapor reservoir even when the ocean to the north freezes, so it retains its ice cap.

the melting ice is due to the warmer gulfstream, which collected warmth from the warming period which ended at ca. 2000 Climate on Earth is ruled, among others, by the Gleissberg solar / weather cycle http://blogs.24.com/henryp/2012/10/02/best-sine-wave-fit-for-the-drop-in-global-maximum-temperatures/ Those still pointing to melting ice and glaciers, as «proof» that it is (still) warming, and not cooling, should remember that there is a lag from energy - in and energy - out due to oceans acting as energy reservoirs..

As I recall, you (Pekka) had also mentioned the exchange rate between the upper ocean and the immense CO2 reservoir of the deep ocean.

Thus, variability in the AMOC's strength is of much interest, as a diminishment or strengthening would impact the ocean's effectiveness as a heat and carbon reservoir.

However, these models do not yet include many processes and reservoirs that may be important, such as peat, buried carbon in permafrost soils, wild fires, ocean eddies and the response of marine ecosystems to ocean acidification.

The argument that this change it is somehow driven by energy reservoirs in the deep ocean is clearly flawed: the deep ocean would be * cooling * as it lost energy to the upper ocean, but deep ocean heat content is increasing at the same time as OHC in the upper ocean is increasing.

«The ocean is the biggest reservoir for heat in the climate system, so as the planet warms, we're finding that 80 to 90 percent of the increased heat ends up in the ocean.»

Oceans and lakes act as heat reservoirs, holding much more heat than the atmosphere can.

We revere water bodies as our gathering places, be they lakes, reservoirs, rivers, oceans, or swimming pools.

We find that over a wide range of values of diapycnal diffusivity and Southern Ocean winds, and with a variety of changes in surface boundary conditions, the spatial patterns of ocean temperature anomaly are nearly always determined as much or more by the existing heat reservoir redistribution than by the nearly passive uptake of temperature due to changes in the surface boundary conditOcean winds, and with a variety of changes in surface boundary conditions, the spatial patterns of ocean temperature anomaly are nearly always determined as much or more by the existing heat reservoir redistribution than by the nearly passive uptake of temperature due to changes in the surface boundary conditocean temperature anomaly are nearly always determined as much or more by the existing heat reservoir redistribution than by the nearly passive uptake of temperature due to changes in the surface boundary conditions.
