The consensus answer to Jim Cripwell's question would appear to be that if you compared their forecast run with the projection run, the ocean heat content would be slightly higher in the forecast run in 2015.

The 2005 Jan - Sep land data (which is adjusted for urban biases) is higher than the previously warmest year (0.76 °C compared to the 1998 anomaly of 0.75 °C for the same months, and a 0.71 °C anomaly for the whole year), while the land - ocean temperature index (which includes sea surface temperature data) is trailing slightly behind (0.58 °C compared to 0.60 °C Jan - Sep, 0.56 °C for the whole of 1998).

So it is quite likely that plant photosynthesis (including that happening in the ocean from phytoplankton) could well be constrained by CO2 concentration at 280 ppmv, with a slightly higher input from animal respiration plus emissions from the Earth's interior balancing out the natural decay rate.

Discusses the contraction that's happened causing cooler oceans near South Pole but warmer at slightly higher lataitudes.

southern oscillation a large - scale atmospheric and hydrospheric fluctuation centered in the equatorial Pacific Ocean; exhibits a nearly annual pressure anomaly, alternatively high over the Indian Ocean and high over the South Pacific; its period is slightly variable, averaging 2.33 years; the variation in pressure is accompanied by variations in wind strengths, ocean currents, sea - surface temperatures, and precipitation in the surrounding Ocean; exhibits a nearly annual pressure anomaly, alternatively high over the Indian Ocean and high over the South Pacific; its period is slightly variable, averaging 2.33 years; the variation in pressure is accompanied by variations in wind strengths, ocean currents, sea - surface temperatures, and precipitation in the surrounding Ocean and high over the South Pacific; its period is slightly variable, averaging 2.33 years; the variation in pressure is accompanied by variations in wind strengths, ocean currents, sea - surface temperatures, and precipitation in the surrounding ocean currents, sea - surface temperatures, and precipitation in the surrounding areas

So.the evaporation of the oceans is because it has slightly higher temperature than the local air.

e) Oceans are expanding [and sea levels are rising] Tide gauge records show that sea level has been rising slowly since the 19th century (and even earlier), at a slightly higher rate in the first half of the 20th century (~ 2.0 mm / year ave.) compared to the second half (~ 1.4 mm / year).

By obtaining a more high - resolution map of the ocean floor below the glaciers, they were able to detect an unmistakable cavity beneath the Pine Island Glacier and a slightly shallower depression beneath Thwaites Glacier.

Although higher concentrations of carbon dioxide reduce the pH of the ocean to some degree, it still remains slightly alkaline; pH values range from 8.2 (in the Norwegian Sea of the North Atlantic) to 7.9 (in the Eastern Pacific and Arabian Sea)[Doney 2006].

A slight change of ocean temperature (after a delay caused by the high specific heat of water, the annual mixing of thermocline waters with deeper waters in storms) ensures that rising CO2 reduces infrared absorbing H2O vapour while slightly increasing cloud cover (thus Earth's albedo), as evidenced by the fact that the NOAA data from 1948 - 2008 shows a fall in global humidity (not the positive feedback rise presumed by NASA's models!)

RB, In my book, «a conservatively high figure of 1.0» means that one thinks the actual value is less than 1 (even if only slightly), which implies that heat is absorbed by the ocean (I wouldn't really describe it as a feedback).

Kauker; Ensemble II = 4.4 million square kilometers, Ensemble I = 4.9 million square kilometers; Model I find it remarkable that all groups using sea ice / ocean models have slightly higher values in the July outlook compared to the June outlook: our ensemble I was 4.6 - > 4.9, ensemble II 4.2 - > 4.4; Zhang was 4.2 - > 4.5; and Nguyen was 4.9 - > 5.0.

In the past, as PopSci previously reported, most ocean temperature data was taken by ships which pulled water into their engine rooms — rooms warmer than the ocean outside, making ocean temperature recordings slightly higher.

In other words, * we can observe the increase of CO2 in atmosphere above the ocean, * CO2 absorbs some part of the outgoing radiation from the surface of the ocean which increases somewhat the temperature of the air * The increasing of temperature causes the (slight) increase of the (already existing) back radiation * This (now increased) back radiation is absorbed by the surface skin layer of the ocean which means that the energy delivered by the back radiation to the surface skin layer is now slightly higher * This additional energy will now be distributed over the channels that are participating in the heat transfer from the absorbing surface skin layer to both the air above the skin layer and the bulk of the ocean.

Which means that the proportion of heat in the ocean as opposed to the atmosphere might be slightly different (big deal because the oceans store so much heat), that albedo might be slightly higher because you have less areas covered by forests which are darker than clear land and thus absorb more sunlight, and so on.

Using high - powered pulsed lasers based on Earth to create plasma jets on space debris could cause them to slow down slightly and to then re-enter and either burn up in the atmosphere or fall into the oceans.
