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

Vertical Redistribution of Oceanic Heat Content [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2015 Abstract Estimated values of recent oceanic heat uptake are on the order of a few tenths of a W m−2, and are a very small residual of air–sea exchanges, with annual average regional magnitudes of hundreds of W m−2. Using a dynamically consistent state estimate, the redistribution of heat within the ocean is calculated over a 20-yr period.

The role of shallow and deep circulations in the Tropical Pacific Ocean heat budget
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The Tropical Pacific Ocean plays an important role in setting the global ocean heat content and redistribution. We examined the role of the shallow and deep circulations in the tropical Pacific in unperturbed and transient climate change conditions in a ...

Observing system simulation experiments reveal that subsurface temperature observations improve estimates of circulation and heat content in a dynamic western boundary current [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 Western boundary currents (WBCs) form the narrow, fast-flowing poleward return flows of the great subtropical ocean gyres and are sources of rapidly varying mesoscale eddies.

The role of upper-ocean heat content in the regional variability of Arctic sea ice at sub-seasonal timescales [PDF]
The CryosphereIn recent decades, the Arctic Ocean has undergone changes associated with enhanced poleward inflow of Atlantic and Pacific waters and increased heat flux exchange with the atmosphere in seasonally ice-free regions.

Predictability of Ocean Heat Content From Electrical Conductance [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019 AbstractOcean heat content (OHC) is a key climate variable that needs to be monitored to know how Earth's energy imbalance is changing, yet observing OHC remains a challenge. The present study examines whether a depth integral of the ocean's electrical conductivity (“conductance”), which may be inferred from both in situ methods and satellite ...

Drivers of Local Ocean Heat Content Variability in ECCOv4
, 2020 Variation in upper ocean heat content is a critical factor in understanding global climate variability. By using temperature anomaly budgets in a physically consistent ocean state estimate we describe the balance between atmospheric forcing and ocean ...
