Earth's energy imbalance and implications [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Improving observations of ocean heat content show that Earth is absorbing more energy from the Sun than it is radiating to space as heat, even during the recent solar minimum.

Heat stored in the Earth system 1960–2020: where does the energy go? [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 The Earth climate system is out of energy balance, and heat has accumulated continuously over the past decades, warming the ocean, the land, the cryosphere, and the atmosphere.

Monitoring the ocean heat content change and the Earth energy imbalance from space altimetry and space gravimetry [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 The Earth energy imbalance (EEI) at the top of the atmosphere is responsible for the accumulation of heat in the climate system. Monitoring the EEI is therefore necessary to better understand the Earth's warming climate.

Continental heat storage: contributions from the ground, inland waters, and permafrost thawing [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2023 Heat storage within the Earth system is a fundamental metric for understanding climate change. The current energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere causes changes in energy storage within the ocean, the atmosphere, the cryosphere, and the ...

Underlying drivers of decade-long fluctuation in the global mean sea-level rise
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Natural climate variability can mask the background trend of global mean sea-level (GMSL) caused by global warming. Recent advances in satellite measurements and ocean heat-content estimates have enabled the monitoring of GMSL budget components and ...

A Multispectral Camera Suite for the Observation of Earth’s Outgoing Radiative Energy
Remote Sensing, 2023 As part of the Earth Climate Observatory space mission concept for the direct observation from space of the Earth Energy Imbalance, we propose an advanced camera suite for the high-resolution observation of the Total Outgoing Radiation of the Earth.

Heat stored in the Earth system: where does the energy go? [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2020 Human-induced atmospheric composition changes cause a radiative imbalance at the top of the atmosphere which is driving global warming. This Earth energy imbalance (EEI) is the most critical number defining the prospects for continued global warming and

First assessment of the earth heat inventory within CMIP5 historical simulations [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2021 The energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere over the last century has caused an accumulation of heat within the ocean, the continental subsurface, the atmosphere and the cryosphere. Although ∼90 % of the energy gained by the climate system has been

Design and Analysis of a Next-Generation Wide Field-of-View Earth Radiation Budget Radiometer
Remote Sensing, 2020 Climate on Earth is determined by the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB), which quantifies the incoming and outgoing radiative energy fluxes. The ERB can be monitored by non-scanning wide field-of-view radiometers, or by scanning narrow field-of-view ...
