The dynamics of ocean heat transport variability [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2001 The north‐south heat transport is the prime manifestation of the ocean's role in global climate, but understanding of its variability has been fragmentary owing to uncertainties in observational analyses, limitations in models, and the lack of a convincing mechanism. We review the dynamics of global ocean heat transport variability, with an emphasis on

Global ocean heat transport dominated by heat export from the tropical Pacific [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2019 Heat redistribution is one of the main mechanisms by which oceans regulate Earth’s climate. Analyses of ocean heat transport tend to emphasize global-scale seawater pathways and concepts such as the great ocean conveyor belt. However it is the divergence

What processes drive the ocean heat transport? [PDF]
Ocean Modelling, 2011 The ocean contributes to regulating the Earth’s climate through its ability to transport heat from the equator to the poles. In this study we use long simulations of an ocean model to investigate whether the heat transport is carried primarily by wind-driven gyres or whether it is dominated by deep circulations associated with abyssal mixing and high ...

Global reconstruction of historical ocean heat storage and transport [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 SignificanceSince the 19th century, rising greenhouse gas concentrations have caused the ocean to absorb most of the Earth’s excess heat and warm up. Before the 1990s, most ocean temperature measurements were above 700 m and therefore, insufficient for an accurate global estimate of ocean warming.

Connecting ocean heat transport changes from the midlatitudes to the Arctic Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractUnder greenhouse warming, climate models simulate a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the associated ocean heat transport at midlatitudes but an increase in the ocean heat transport to the Arctic Ocean. These opposing trends lead to what could appear to be a discrepancy in the reported ocean contribution to Arctic

Eddy‐induced meridional heat transport in the ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 A global ocean data synthesis product at eddy‐permitting resolution from Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II (ECCO2) project are used to estimate the oceanic eddy heat transport. We show that in a number of locations the time‐mean eddy heat transport constitutes a considerable portion of the total time‐mean heat transport, in ...

Mid-Pliocene Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation simulated in PlioMIP2 [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 In the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (PlioMIP2), coupled climate models have been used to simulate an interglacial climate during the mid-Piacenzian warm period (mPWP; 3.264 to 3.025 Ma).

Decreasing trend of tropical cyclone-induced ocean warming in recent decades
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Tropical cyclones (TCs) can influence climate by pumping heat into the ocean, yet little is known about how the TC-induced ocean heat uptake (OHU) has changed in recent decades. Based on ocean reanalysis, we calculated OHU and found a significant decline

Impacts of Stratospheric Ozone Recovery on Southern Ocean Temperature and Heat Budget
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The impacts of stratospheric ozone recovery on Southern Ocean surface and interior temperature, heat content, heat uptake, and heat transport are investigated by contrasting two ensemble chemistry‐climate model simulations in 2005–2099: one with fixed ...

Sea Ice—Ocean Interactions in the Barents Sea Modeled at Different Resolutions
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The Barents Sea is one of the most rapidly changing Arctic regions in terms of sea ice. As it is almost ice-free in summer, most recent changes in the Barents Sea have occurred in winter, with a reduction of about 50% of its March sea-ice area between ...
