But when converting to degrees C, there seems to be almost nothing left as was pointed out in this article. I will illustrate the facts in another way.<br />I will use Figure 5 and assume it is true.<br />According to this diagram, the total heat increase is about 25 x 10^22 J over about 55 years.<br />The total mass of the ocean above 2000 m is 48% of the total mass of the ocean.<br />The total mass of the ocean is 1.37 x 10^21 kg.<br />The specific heat capacity of ocean water is 4000 J/kgK.<br />Applying H = mct, I get a change in t of<br />25 x 10^22 J/(0.48 x 1.37 x 10^21 kg x 4000 J/kgK) = 0.1 K. Is that correct? If so, it would take over 100 years for the top 2000 m to go up by 0.2 C. Is that supposed to be a problem for us?<br /><br />http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/11/13/comments-on-stefan-rahmstorfs-post-at-realclimate-what-ocean-heating-reveals-about-global-warming/#comment-1474228<br /><br />Vince Causey says:<br />November 14, 2013 at 12:41 pm<br />“Applying H = mct, I get a change in t of<br />25 x 10^22 J/(0.48 x 1.37 x 10^21 kg x 4000 J/kgK) = 0.1 K. Is that correct? If so, it would take over 100 years for the top 2000 m to go up by 0.2 C. Is that supposed to be a problem for us?”<br /><br />I doubt it. This is the second law of thermodynamics at work – the entropy is increasing. Useful heat is being degraded into a more diffuse, low grade form.<br /><br />It’s like taking a red hot poker and dropping it in a bath of cold water. The heat of the original red hot poker can be used to do some work, but once the heat is transferred to the bath, the temperature becomes that of the bath, whose temperature has risen by only a tiny amount.<br /><br />The important point is that the heat, once diffused to a lower temperature, can never result in a subsequent rise in temperature, which would be contrary to the first law. Therefore, any heat, once sequestered by the oceans, can never reverse its thermodynamic pathway, and reheat the atmosphere to the temperatures that caused it to be absorbed in the first place.<br /><br />It is an admission that the problem (if it ever existed), is being solved by nature once and for all.<br /><br />http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/11/13/comments-on-stefan-rahmstorfs-post-at-realclimate-what-ocean-heating-reveals-about-global-warming/#comment-1475425Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-18507983017913845552013-11-04T12:14:23.109-08:002013-11-04T12:14:23.109-08:00http://motls.blogspot.com/2013/11/sciencemag-medie...http://motls.blogspot.com/2013/11/sciencemag-medieval-warm-period-global.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-70668012475324077462013-11-04T10:38:20.052-08:002013-11-04T10:38:20.052-08:00from the 11/2/13 SEPP newsletter:
Ocean Heat: A n...from the 11/2/13 SEPP newsletter:<br /><br />Ocean Heat: A new paper claims to trace the Pacific Ocean heat content over the past 10,000 years. Using high-resolution proxy records from sediment cores, the paper stated "that water masses linked to North Pacific and Antarctic intermediate waters were warmer by 2.1 ± 0.4°C and 1.5 ± 0.4°C, respectively, during the middle Holocene Thermal Maximum than over the past century. Both water masses were ~0.9°C warmer during the Medieval Warm period than during the Little Ice Age and ~0.65° warmer than in recent decades." This is more evidence that Mr. Mann's hockey-stick was wrong; based on reports he is unhappy with the paper.<br /><br />The paper was published in Science magazine, which has long had an editorial policy of not publishing papers that challenge the orthodoxy. Has the editorial policy of Science changed? Or is this an effort to buttress the claims that global warming projected in the climate models is hiding in the deep ocean. If it is the former, then it has been long needed. If it is the latter, then it has major problems.<br /><br />As any diver knows, sunlight can penetrate deep into the ocean, up to 200 meters (656 feet) or more. So the cause of the past warming could be greater sunlight - such as a changing intensity or less cloudiness. However, the energy from atmospheric greenhouse gases is in the infrared region that does not penetrate much beyond 10 microns (less than 0.001 of an inch). So a significant increase in the greenhouse effect would cause a warming of the sea surface, which is not being observed.
