Robust warming of the global upper ocean
Most of global warming goes into the ocean. Consequently, the amount of heat accumulating in the world’s oceans is a vital cog in our understanding of climate. A number of teams across the world have performed analyses of ocean heat observations. While there’s year-to-year differences between the various estimates, they all show essentially the same long-term trend. Now members from the various teams have combined their efforts into a single ‘best estimate’ of ocean heat (Lyman 2010). What they find is robust warming in the upper ocean over the 16 years from 1993 to 2008.
