If the climate is
steadily accumulating heat, does this mean the ocean heat content will also show a monotonic steady trend?
Globally, the oceans have still been
steadily accumulating heat right to the end of 2008.
The planet is
steadily accumulating heat.
While measurements of ocean heat going down to 700 metres have showed declining heat accumulation, von Schuckmann 2009 shows that measurements of ocean heat going down to 2000 metres find the oceans have been
steadily accumulating heat at 0.77 W / m2 from 2003 to 2008.
