They did the same
with ocean heat storage; that is, they failed to use the raw data but only averaged data.
Not exact matches
This is not only in excellent agreement
with the observed temperature changes at the surface (blue stars), it also correctly reproduces the observed
heat storage in the
oceans — a strong indicator that the model's
heat budget is correct.
In fact, the calculation has been done very carefully by Hansen and co-workers, taking all factors into consideration, and when compared
with observations of
ocean heat storage over a period long enough for the observed changes to be reliably assessed, models and observations agree extremely well (see this article and this article.).

Guemas et al. (Nature Climate Change 2013) shows that the slower warming of the last ten years can not be explained by a change in the radiative balance of our Earth, but rather by a change in the
heat storage of the
oceans, and that this can be at least partially reproduced by climate models, if one accounts for the natural fluctuations associated
with El Niño in the initialization of the models.
Changes in the planetary and tropical TOA radiative fluxes are consistent
with independent global
ocean heat -
storage data, and are expected to be dominated by changes in cloud radiative forcing.
This is not only in excellent agreement
with the observed temperature changes at the surface (blue stars), it also correctly reproduces the observed
heat storage in the
oceans — a strong indicator that the model's
heat budget is correct.
Also, if you look at Table T2 in this paper, you will see that
ocean sea surface heat storage 0 - 700m from 1955 - 2003 (in W / m2) is always higher at northern latitudes than the corresponding southern latitudes in every case, even with the extensive Southern Ocean warming as noted by Gavin responding to

heat storage 0 - 700m from 1955 - 2003 (in W / m2) is always higher at northern latitudes than the corresponding southern latitudes in every case, even
with the extensive Southern
Ocean warming as noted by Gavin responding to
Ocean warming as noted by Gavin responding to # 18.
Meehl et al., 2011 (doi: 10.1038 / NCLIMATE1229) show that
with a similar radiative imbalance, hiatus periods and non-hiatus periods can occur, and that in the first case larger
heat storage in the deep
ocean takes place.
This was my mental equation dF = dH / dt + lambda * dT where dF is the forcing change over a given period (1955 - 2010), dH / dt is the rate of change of
ocean heat content, and dT is the surface temperature change in the same period,
with lambda being the equilibrium sensitivity parameter, so the last term is the Planck response to balance the forcing in the absence of
ocean storage changes.
This technical document speaks of the
ocean's
storage of
heat and carbon and its connection
with the rate and degree of changes in climate and in the Earth climate system.
Have no idea who the «climate clique» is, but the greater energy
storage capacity and greater thermal inertia of the
oceans combined
with the fact that net
heat flow is always from
oceans to atmosphere would dictate that the
oceans would show more consistent long - term warming than the atmosphere.
Me — The Wong reference says — «The drop in the global
ocean heat storage in the later part of 1998 is associated
with cooling of the global
ocean after the rapid warming of the
ocean during the 1997 — 98 El Niño event (Willis et al. 2004).»

I agree that the specific
heat and
storage capacity of things like the
oceans (especially) play a role in regulating the Earth, but you have to bear in mind that from the point of view of outer space, the Earth is a system
with precisely one channel.
Large areas had open water
with no indication of grease ice formation, implying considerable
ocean heat storage.
From Wong et a. «The interannual variability of the net flux anomalies in Fig. 7 from the ERBS Nonscanner WFOV and CERES Scanner agree very well
with the interannual variability of the
ocean heat storage data.
The agreement is within the
ocean heat storage sampling uncertainties,
with 1 - sigma difference in the anomalies of 0.4 W m 2.
One of these was just referred to in connection
with the Southern Hemisphere potentially being another location for
ocean heat storage that was not sampled well by Argo.
«The interannual variability of the net flux anomalies in Fig. 7 from the ERBS Nonscanner WFOV and CERES Scanner agree very well
with the interannual variability of the
ocean heat storage data.
Thus, the change in
ocean heat storage with time can be used to calculate the net radiative imbalance of the Earth (Ellis et al., 1978; Piexoto and Oort, 1992).
Scientists from around the world analyzed
heat content estimates from between 1993 and 2008 to determine the amount and level of certainty around the
heat storage on the
ocean's surface and they came up
with the startling conclusion that there is now enough energy stored there to light close to 500 100 - watt light bulbs for every person on the planet.
Ocean heat storage is relevant to the rate at which temperature changes in response to forcings, but has nothing at all to do
with the calculation of forcings themselves.
A decline of open -
ocean convection would reduce the production rate of Antarctic Bottom Waters,
with important implications for
ocean heat and carbon
storage, and may have played a role in recent Antarctic climate change.»
