For example, Frame et al. (2005) and Andronova and Schlesinger (2000) use surface air temperature alone, while Forest et al. (2002, 2006), Knutti et al. (2002, 2003) and Gregory et al. (2002a) use both surface air temperature and
ocean temperature change to constrain climate sensitivity.

ocean temperature changes and the canonical estimates of climate forcing are all consistent within the uncertainties.

ocean temperature changes; two to three times greater in Eurasia; and three to four times greater in the Arctic and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Ocean temperature change, however, reached a lower limit, probably because the freezing point of sea water put a restriction on how cold the deep ocean could get.
It allowed the Cambridge team to map
ocean temperature change over time.
Both Tasmania and the Southern South American should be reasonable representations of the southern

Ocean temperature changes causing weather changes.
Both El Niño and La Niña are complex weather patterns resulting from

Over the generally - recognised ARGO period (2004/2005 to present) spatial variation in subsurface
ocean temperature change has been huge, as evidenced by altimeter SLR trend maps.
Hobbs, W., & Willis, J. (2013) Detection of an observed 135 year
ocean temperature change from limited data.
Most organisms that have been investigated display greater sensitivity at extreme temperatures, so as
ocean temperatures change, those species that are forced to exist at the edges of their thermal ranges will experience stronger effects of acidification.
To me, that suggests the possibility of some subtle relationship between solar activity, sea level changes and
ocean temperatures changes, but I have not even a wild guess as to how such a relationship would work.
Some of the CMIP3 models» deep
ocean temperature changes in apparent contradiction to whether the climate system is being radiative forced from above.
As noted in the paper below, increase in mid-ocean seismic activity closely correlates with
ocean temperature changes for the entire period.
Joe (05:28:14): You asked, «Is there some way to get the ocean salinity changes and correllate with them to
these Ocean temperature changes?»
As Earth became colder and continental ice sheets grew, further increase of δ18O was due in equal parts to deep
ocean temperature change and ice mass change.
Nor can one be confident that the contribution of subsea volcanic variability to deep -
ocean temperature change is negligible in comparison with that from the atmosphere, particularly when the relative densities of the two media and the distance of the benthic layers from the atmosphere are taken into account.
«deep
ocean temperature change does not provide a good indication of surface temperature change when the deep ocean approaches the freezing point, as quantified by Waelbroeck et al. (2002).
HS12 assume that deep
ocean temperature change was similar to global mean surface temperature change for Cenozoic climates warmer than today, but this relationship does not hold true for colder climates.
Thus, we take 4.5 °C as our best estimate for LGM cooling, implying an amplification of surface temperature change by a factor of two relative to deep
ocean temperature change for this climate interval.
Fortunately, sufficient information is available on surface temperature change in the Pliocene and Pleistocene to allow us to scale the deep
ocean temperature change by appropriate factors, thus retaining the temporal variations in the δ18O while also having a realistic magnitude for the total temperature change over these epochs.
This Pliocene warming is an amplification by a factor of 2.5 of the deep
ocean temperature change.
However, the uncertainty in the reconstructed sea level is tens of metres and the uncertainty in the Mg / Ca temperature is sufficient to encompass the result from our δ18O prescription, which has comparable contributions of ice volume change and deep
ocean temperature change at the Late Eocene glaciation of Antarctica.
The total deep
ocean temperature change of 6 °C for the change of δ18O from 1.75 to 4.75 is then divided two - thirds (4 °C) for the δ18O range 1.75 — 3.25 and 2 °C for the δ18O range 3.25 — 4.75.
Although ice volume and deep
ocean temperature changes contributed comparable amounts to δ18O change on average over the full range from 35 Myr to 20 kyr BP, the temperature change portion of the δ18O change must decrease as the deep ocean temperature approaches the freezing point [43].

The observed pattern of
ocean temperature change created a propensity for drought in some regions around the globe — perhaps including California, which has been experiencing drought conditions more often than not over the past decade and a half.
Due to time lags in moving energy / heat around, there is no reason to think that deeper
ocean temperature changes will be in lock - step with surface changes.
The rates of thermosteric sea level changes are closely correlated with those of reconstructed sea level changes with correlation coefficients larger than 0.8, but the former has smaller amplitudes than the latter, indicating contributions to total sea level change from processes other than upper
ocean temperature changes examined here.

ocean temperature changes for the last 200 years are apparently so negligible they are «below the detection limits».
So if 1 % of the heat from global warming is manifested in air temperatures, and 93 % in manifested in
ocean temperature changes according to the IPCC, why do you think it is up to «tom0mason» to «prove» that the oceans are the control knob, since he is just reaffirming what even the IPCC already effectively says?
This is a quite rapid process (for the upper oceans), but much slower for deep
ocean temperature changes, which results in the above differences in ratios for short term and long term temperature variations...
