Robust warming of the global upper ocean

TL;DR: XBT data constitute the majority of the in situ measurements of upper-ocean heat content from 1967 to 2002, and it is found that the uncertainty due to choice of XBT bias correction dominates among-method variability in OHCA curves during the 1993–2008 study period.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of global ocean temperature observations: Implications for ocean heat content estimates and climate change

TL;DR: The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable bathythermographs and conductivity-temperature-depth instruments used on Argo floats).
Journal ArticleDOI

An imperative to monitor Earth's energy imbalance

TL;DR: The current Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) is mostly caused by human activity and is driving global warming as mentioned in this paper, and the absolute value of EEI represents the most fundamental metric defining the status of global climate change, and will be more useful than using global surface temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes of the rapid warming of the North Atlantic ocean in the mid 1990s

TL;DR: In the mid-1990s, the subpolar gyre of the North Atlantic underwent a remarkable rapid warming, with sea surface temperatures increasing by around 1°C in just 2 years as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ocean Reanalyses Intercomparison Project (ORA-IP)

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-reanalysis ensemble is used to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ocean state and to estimate uncertainty levels.
