The results show that even though there has been a slowdown in the warming of the global average temperatures on the surface of Earth, the warming has continued strongly throughout the troposphere except for a very thin layer at around 14 - 15 km above the surface of Earth where it has warmed slightly less.
Because the Pacific cooling is just one piece of an ongoing cycle, the slowdown in warming isn't going to last, Steinman says.

As for how long the slowdown in warming might last, estimates run the gamut — from «by the end of this decade» to another 20 years, based on the mix of mechanisms driving the slowdown, according to several studies presented at the American Meteorological Society's annual meeting in Phoenix earlier this month.
The slowdown in warming was, she added, real, and all the evidence suggested that since 1998, the rate of global warming has been much slower than predicted by computer models — about 1C per century.
