The fact that the hindcasts with their method perform worse than a standard IPCC scenario, the number of failed previous cooling predictions, the negative skill in the Gulf Stream and deep - water formation regions... should these not have cautioned them against going to the media to forecast a pause in global warming?

The best simple answer I've seen is basically that you have to go to a 2 - box model of Earth, with warm tropics and cold poles, and then realize that thanks to the thermohaline circulation the deep oceans are coupled almost exclusively to the polar regions, and so are in the «cold» box and not the warm one or some average of them.

To some extent, this is again due to the factors mentioned above, but additionally, the models predict that the North Atlantic as a whole will not warm as fast as the rest of globe (due to both the deep mixed layers in this region which have a large thermal inertia and a mild slowdown in the ocean heat transports).

It is enhanced too by the formation of deep water in the polar regions, but slowed by the warming of the surface ocean.

The structure of the ocean circulation basically anchors this region to something like pre-industrial temperatures, at least until deep bottom water originating in the North Atlantic also warms.

I have to raise an objection to the phrase «the only region of the world that has defied global warming» — that might be neglecting a certain area in the Pacific where England 2014 has identified a very obvious point where the «Pacific conveyor» was bringing in the last decade up a lot of cold water from the deep ocean and has possibly played a major role in the specific trends for that period.

Consenquently, the associated SST pattern is slightly cooler in the deep convection upwelling regions of the Equitorial Pacific and the Indian Ocean, strongly cooler in the nearest deep convection source region of the South Atlantic near Africa and the Equator, warm over the bulk of the North Atlantic, strongly warmer where the gulf stream loses the largest portion of its heat near 50N 25W, and strongly cooler near 45N 45W, which turns out to be a back - eddy of the Gulf Stream with increased transport of cold water from the north whenever the Gulf Stream is running quickly.

Aside from the fact that 90 degrees north sits in the middle of a 2.5 - mile - deep ocean, that's quite a statement considering two things: first, no one has been routinely monitoring sea ice along both coastlines between then and now, and second, the region was clearly warmer than it is today (in summers) around 8,000 to 10,000 years ago — on both the Siberian and North American sides.

The total change in ocean heat, including deep water regions is the best gauge of global warming.

But mapping with ice - penetrating radar has revealed a low - lying region cut by glacially carved channels that drop as far as 8,500 feet below sea level — perfect for guiding warm ocean water deep into the heart of the ice sheet.

As discussed in the following section, the absence of significant warming in the Circumpolar Ocean of the Southern hemisphere is attributable mainly to the large thermal inertia of the ocean, which results from very effective mixing between the surface layer and the deeper layers of ocean in this region.

Changes in the weather system across the Scandinavian region are pushing very warm, moisture - laden Atlantic air into the Arctic and very cold Arctic air into Northern Eurasia, leading much of Europe into a deep freeze this week.

If polar vortices are driven further and further south, drawing up warmer air from middle latitudes toward the pole and supplanting them with Arctic chill, then many nations might experience cooling, while the generally unmonitored Arctic Circle region experiences substantial restructuring of sea ice as well as surface warming and deep ocean warming too.

The influx could slow down or shut off the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation, the driving factor behind the conveyor belt current known as thermohaline circulation, which brings large amounts of warm water to the North Atlantic region.

Amplifying this threat is a potential trigger for this instability that surrounds the region: a mass of warm water known as Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW).

Warm SSTs in this region, and the enhanced deep convection, have been connected to a standing - wave pattern in the atmosphere from the tropics to higher latitudes in a manner similar to that associated with ENSO, but with roots farther west.

Furthermore, the low - frequency variability in the SPG relates to the propagation of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variations from the deep - water formation region to mid-latitudes in the North Atlantic, which might have the implications for recent global surface warming hiatus.»

Earlier research, based on deep sea sediments deposited between the last Ice Age and the present warm period, has found evidence of eight melting events in the region, the largest occurring 14,700 years ago.

Note the temporary decrease in magnitude of the cold wake in one area behind the storm, indicative of the passage of the storm over a region containing the deep warm water of the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current.

Global warming could have especially strong impacts on the regions of oceanic subpolar fronts, where the temperature increase in deep water could lead to a substantial redistribution of pelagic and benthic communities, including commercially important fish species.
