Point is, with ocean heating, when the warm layer not disturbed so much by the wind, that layer stays on top, heat transfers to the atmosphere; when the warm layer is being mixed in more by the wind, less stays in the atmosphere.

Anyway, it seems like «global brightening» and variations in cloud cover has more to do with any ocean heating than the direct greenhouse effect, which is why I question whether the «missing heat» is really there.
