There are those who appear to steadfastly maintain that all thermal radiation is from the surface and the and the convection return flow, which must heat at the dry adiabatic rate of 9.8 deg C per 1000 meters going down — unless it is gobbling up condensed water vapor on the way, and reach the surface before it can be cooled again.

This cold polar water eventually returns to the surface in a variety of different ways.

Atlantic surface waters eventually return northward to the Labrador and Greenland seas in the North Atlantic.

The circulation is asymmetric, with conversion to dense waters in restricted regions at high latitudes and the return to the surface involving slow upwelling and diffusive processes over much larger geographic regions.

Since the whole world does not appear to freeze during a ice age, the must be massive ice making going at the pole driven by heat lifting oceans of water to the sky from the equator where it is pushed by the expanding air and vapor to the poles areas where it returns to the surface and follows cold land like a culvert between warmer expanding ocean air back down to the equatoral region.

When one a surface of water being heated, you have balance of gas molecules briefly leaving the surface and return to the surface.

It can not account for the huge volume of leftover warm water that's below the surface and returned to the West Pacific and into the eastern tropical Indian Ocean via off - equatorial slow - moving Rossby waves.

Second, the ocean absorbs CO2 on average all across the lower density surface as the waters cool by radiation to space on their return to the poles.

The water is heated through contact with the rock and is then returned to the surface through a second borehole where it is used to generate electricity.

Most of the latent heat contained in water vapour is subsequently released to the atmosphere during the formation of precipitating clouds, although a minor amount may be returned directly to the surface during dew or frost deposition.

Besides the total energy at any time, there is the question of the rate of transfer of energy as the warm moist air rises and the water freezes in clouds and returns to the surface.

Then, as the La Nina of 1998/99/00 / 01 progressed, the trade winds, Pacific Equatorial Currents, and a phenomenon known as a Rossby wave returned the remaining surface and subsurface warm water to the western Pacific.

As part of the planet's reciprocal relationship between ocean circulation and climate, this conveyor belt transports warm surface water to high latitudes where the water warms the air, then cools, sinks, and returns towards the equator as a deep flow.»

The marine biota also redistribute carbon: marine organisms grow organic tissue and calcareous shells in surface waters, which, after their death, sink to deeper waters, where they are returned to the dissolved inorganic carbon reservoir by dissolution and microbial decomposition.

Water now returning to the surface having entered deep ocean during the MWP may be inducing release of oceanic CO2 in response to altered pH, and this release could be expected to provide the steady increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration (of at least 1.5 ppm / year) that is observed to be independent of temperature variations.

However, I have repeatedly pointed out that the opposite is also possible because the deep ocean waters now returning to ocean surface could be altering the pH of the ocean surface layer with resulting release of CO2 from the ocean surface layer.
