While the stratosphere recovers from volcanic events quite quickly, the troposphere takes longer as some heat is transferred into the oceans, where cooling - down and heating back up take time.

Where the heat is actually stored is another matter... the Southern Ocean, for instance, appear to be taking up far more heat than is being stored there due to equatorward transport.

The cool skin behaves quite differently to the water below, because it is the boundary where the ocean and air meet, and therefore turbulence (the transfer of energy / heat via large - scale motion) falls away as it approaches this boundary.

So when a disturbance in the atmosphere happened to hit an area where winds were favorable, it often had the ocean heat to help fuel it.

In an email chat, Yair Rosenthal of Rutgers University and Braddock Linsley of Columbia University, whose related work was explored here in 2013, said the Argo analysis appeared to support their view that giant subtropical gyres are the place where heat carried on currents from the tropics descends into the deeper ocean.

We recently had a longish «pause» in global temperatures where it seems the excess heat sequestered itself in the oceans, only to emerge quite spectacularly in the last couple of years.

And so far, you still have not replied to my points in 156 and 231 that explain where the heat increase in the total system of ocean and atmosphere comes from and that demonstrates the physically impossibility of your main causal claim that all the ocean heat content increase since 2000 is merely due to a transfer of heat from the atmosphere, where you claim that all this heat was in the atmosphere in 1979.

This was explicitly discussed in Hansen et al, 1997 where they predicted that over the last few decades of the 20th Century, there should have been a significant increase in ocean heat content (OHC).

That leads to a net heat flux into the surface ocean where it anomalously heats the mixed layer (and circulation slowly diffuses and advects that heat into the deeper ocean).

Temperature tends to respond so that, depending on optical properties, LW emission will tend to reduce the vertical differential heating by cooling warmer parts more than cooler parts (for the surface and atmosphere); also (not significant within the atmosphere and ocean in general, but significant at the interface betwen the surface and the air, and also significant (in part due to the small heat fluxes involved, viscosity in the crust and somewhat in the mantle (where there are thick boundary layers with superadiabatic lapse rates) and thermal conductivity of the core) in parts of the Earth's interior) temperature changes will cause conduction / diffusion of heat that partly balances the differential heating.

In a region where the ocean was already being heated, the same pattern would be seen but now since the skin SST was warmer, the skin - bulk difference would increase, causing more heat to go into the ocean.

C is not constant for the dT» / dt equation to apply because heat penetrates through different parts of the climate system (different depths of the ocean in particular) over different time scales (also, if T» is supposed to be at some reference location or the global average at some vertical level, T» at other locations will vary; C will have to be an effective C value, the heat per unit change in the T» at the location (s) where T» occurs)

The cause of the change is a particular change in winds, especially in the Pacific Ocean where the subtropical trade winds have become noticeably stronger, thereby changing ocean currents and increasing the subtropical overturning in the ocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oOcean where the subtropical trade winds have become noticeably stronger, thereby changing ocean currents and increasing the subtropical overturning in the ocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oocean currents and increasing the subtropical overturning in the ocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oceanocean.
