Sentences with phrase «while ohc»

And surface temps are updated monthly, while OHC data are updated quarterly.

It's perfectly possible that ocean variability keeps the atmospheric temperature approximately constant for significant periods while the OHC keeps on rising.

Not exact matches

While the TOA observations show far less agreement with the NODC and Hadley Centre OHC data sets, after 2004 they demonstrate moderate agreement with PMEL / JPL / JIMAR data sets (as determined by statistical analysis).

A 50cc OHC four - stroke engine provides ample power for around - town trips while also keeping the fun factor high and sipping fuel.

He plucks out of context a sentence about OHC while ignoring the central argument we are making about that indicator — which is that if most of the heat is going into the oceans and we now have substantially better ways to measure OHC then why not use that measure.

@Matthew Marler (51)-- OHC since 1950, while subject to some uncertainty, is sufficiently characterized to know it's strongly positive, which excludes a more than minor role for internal contributions to the warming.

In Balmaseda et al. paper, they show very nicely the changes in the ocean heat content (OHC) since the late 1950s and how during the last decade the OHC has substantially increased in the deep ocean while in the first 300 and 700 meters it has stalled.

In particular, as discussed above, internal climate oscillations warm the surface by losing OHC, while external forcing by CO2 or other modalities warms the surface by increasing OHC.

According to the graphs he presents on his blog - o - site, in his favorite Case III version 0 - 50m OHC has been dropping while Levitus shows it rising.

So while their conclusions may be valid: yes there is no evidence of a discrepancy, given their uncertainties, and yes there is no «statistically significant» decline in OHC rates of change, but the uncertainties are so large that neither dataset is useful to know what is really going on, and that is the key point.

You ostensibly believe CO2 dominates despite not having the requisite scientific evidence to back up that assertion, not to mention paleoclimate data which heartily contradicts it (i.e., CO2 levels rose while ocean heat content declined, or OHC rose rapidly while CO2 levels were constant).

OHC 0 — 700m trends strongly upward while TSI falls...?

The rate of OHC uptake and solar are in the same order of magnitude, with an inertial lag, the deeper oceans would continue warming slowly while the upper layer flattens.

«The deep ocean has continued to warm, while the upper 300 m OHC appears to have stabilized.

The evidence from the OHC is pretty good confirmation that it was positive, but even there, unless we know what the entire ocean is doing and not just the upper part, the surface could theoretically be gaining heat from the ocean while losing heat to the atmosphere.

that's 8 years with the OHC essentially flat while CO2 has increased by approximately 16 ppm — what gives?

Given that OHC has been declining these last seven years, this ought to give pause while we answer the question:

The only two ocean basins with major increases in OHC during the ARGO era are the South Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, while the North Atlantic, Arctic, and South Pacific Oceans show significant declines in OHC.

Right now, with the increasing forcing from GH gases, over multi-decadal periods, while the ENSO cycle still exists, it is a «charge / discharge» cycle running on top of a longer - term rising OHC.

Positive forcing at seasonal to inter-annual scales leads to an average global surface temperature drop from La Nina influence but recharging of OHC (longer term gain), while reduced forcing allows El Nino conditions and temporary peaks in global average temperature, and OHC reduction (longer term loss).

While you are at it, where is your explanation for how regional SSTs can cause OHC to rise in every major basin for four decades?

While some of the previously «missing energy» is accounted for, substantial discrepancies between OHC and CERES at interannual time scales persist, and are especially prominent during 2008 - 9.
