Combining Modern and Paleoceanographic Perspectives on Ocean Heat Uptake

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2021
Monitoring Earth's energy imbalance requires monitoring changes in the heat content of the ocean. Recent observational estimates indicate that ocean heat uptake is accelerating in the twenty-first century. Examination of estimates of ocean heat uptake over the industrial era, the Common Era of the last 2,000 years, and the period since the Last ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Tropical Cyclone–Induced Ocean Heat Uptake and Its Effect on Ocean Heat Content

Journal of Climate, 2023
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) can pump heat downward into the ocean through inducing intense vertical mixing. Many efforts have been made to estimate the TC-induced ocean heat uptake (OHU), but spatiotemporal variability of TC-induced OHU remains unclear.

Intercomparison of anthropogenic ocean heat uptake processes in AOGCMs

2020
<p>Thermosteric sea level change, resulting from ocean heat uptake, is a key component of recent and future sea level rise. The various atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) used to predict future climate produce diverse spatial patterns of future thermosteric sea level rise.

Ocean's Carbon and Heat Uptake: Uncertainties and Metrics

2015
This report details the efforts of numerous scientists in helping both the Ocean Carbon Uptake and Southern Ocean Working Groups make progress towards their goals to develop metrics for evaluating biases in CMIP- 5 model simulations; estimating sources of uncertainties in model projections of heat and carbon uptake; and informing future observations ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Tropical Cyclone Induced Ocean Heat Uptake and Its Effect on Ocean Heat Content

2022
<p>Tropical cyclone (TC) can pump heat downward through inducing intense vertical mixing. Many efforts have been made to estimate the magnitude of TC-induced ocean heat uptake (OHU), but the spatiotemporal variability of TC-induced OHU remains unclear.

Open ocean convection and the uptake of heat by the deep ocean

2015
Understanding how the ocean takes up heat is crucial to improve prediction of the future global surface temperature increase. While many previous studies have evaluated the spatial distribution of heat content change across the global ocean, a complete explanation of the mechanisms responsible for this distribution remains largely unknown, and hence ...

Deep-ocean heat uptake and equilibrium climate response

Climate Dynamics, 2012
We integrate the coupled climate model ECHAM5/MPIOM to equilibrium under atmospheric CO2 quadrupling. The equilibrium global-mean surface-temperature change is 10.8 K. The surface equilibrates within about 1,200 years, the deep ocean within 5,000 years.

Emergent constraints on the Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon and heat uptake

2021
<p>The Southern Ocean south of 30°S, occupying about a third of global surface ocean area, accounts for approximately 40% of the past anthropogenic carbon uptake and about 75% of excess heat uptake by the ocean. However, Earth system models have large difficulties in reproducing the Southern Ocean circulation, and therefore ...

Perspectives on Climate Sensitivity and Ocean Heat Uptake

The notion of climate sensitivity has become synonymous with Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS). But, 21st century warming is affected at zeroth order by ocean heat uptake, which isn't accounted for by ECS but is accounted for by the Transient Climate Response (TCR).

Heat and carbon changes in the ocean as a transient response and tool for decomposing heat uptake

2020
<p><span>Whilst anthropogenic activities are significantly altering the climate, both warming the atmosphere and increasing CO2, the ocean is</span></p><p><span>significantly ameliorating both effects.
