First,
tracking ocean heat content is considerably harder than tracking surface air temperature.
The implicit assumption by Muscheler and Schmidt that GMAST should
track ocean heat content with no major divergence now knocked down as well.
It is the special case where GMAST actually
tracks ocean heat content.
Ironically, in Nature, Victor and Kennel argue that «policy - makers should also
track ocean heat content» because it «is a good proxy for the long - term risk to future generations and planetary - scale ecology.»

Burt Armstrong @ 16, you are very much on the right
track, but think more in terms of accumulating
ocean heat content and rising sea surface temperatures.
The chart shows that starting in the late 1940's, we have been able to measure the
heat content of the top 2000 meters of
ocean accurately enough so that annual changes in
ocean heat content of less than 1e22 joules can be detected and
tracked.
Which implies that since the late» 40's - early» 50's we have had a data collection system deployed capable of measuring and
tracking the annual TEMPERATURE of the top 2000 meters of the
oceans of the world (necessary to calculate its
heat content)-- all of them — with a precision and accuracy in the millidegree range.
-- no it isn't
Ocean heat content is rising — no it isn't, model - based The tropical belt is widening — since LIA Storm
tracks are shifting polewards.

Thus, we suggest that scientists and modelers who seek global warming signals should
track how much
heat the
ocean is storing at any given time, termed global
ocean heat content (OHC), as well as sea level rise (SLR).
Allows you to keep
track of impact on
ocean heat content.
The pink shading represents simulations where greenhouse gas emissions and other human influences have been taken into account — these simulations do a much better job at
tracking temperatures and
ocean heat content globally and regionally.

And the ARGO - era
ocean heat content data has been adjusted so many times it's difficult to keep
track of all of them.
