Is the Arctic Ocean warming? [PDF]
Recent high‐quality hydrographic measurements in the Arctic Ocean have revealed a warming of up to 1 K of the Atlantic Layer when compared with Russian climatologies of the 1940s to 1970s. About half of this warming can be attributed to the different methods by which the two data sets were obtained: the climatologies are based on discrete bottle data ...

Change of Global Ocean Temperature and Decadal Variability under 1.5 °C Warming in FOAM
The rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration is regarded as the dominant reason for observed warming since the mid-20th century. Based on the Paris Agreement target, this research designs three conceptual pathways to achieve the warming target of 1.5 °C ...

Isolating the signal of ocean global warming [PDF]
Identifying the signature of global warming in the world's oceans is challenging because low frequency circulation changes can dominate local temperature changes.

Climate model and proxy data constraints on ocean warming across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]
Constraining the greenhouse gas forcing, climatic warming and estimates of climate sensitivity across ancient large transient warming events is a major challenge to the palaeoclimate research community.

Pantropical Response to Global Warming and the Emergence of a La Niña‐Like Mean State Trend
A recent study by Zhang et al. (2019, https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GL084088) proposes “an interbasin ocean thermostat mechanism” to support the hypothesis that enhanced Indian Ocean warming during the past century has reduced the Pacific warming response ...

Recent acceleration in global ocean heat accumulation by mode and intermediate waters
The ocean absorbs >90% of anthropogenic heat in the Earth system, moderating global atmospheric warming. However, it remains unclear how this heat uptake is distributed by basin and across water masses.

Could changing ocean circulation have destabilized methane hydrate at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary? [PDF]
During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~55 Ma), marine and terrestrial carbon isotope values exhibit a negative shift of at least 2.5‰, indicative of massive destabilization of marine methane hydrates, releasing ~1100 gigatonnes of methane ...

AbstractSea surface temperature (SST) and upper ocean heat content (OHC, upper 700 m) in the tropical Indian Ocean underwent rapid warming during 1950–2015, with the SSTs showing an average warming of about 1 °C. The SST and OHC trends are very likely to continue in the future, under different emission scenarios.
