The ocean heat content (OHC) has been increasing for decades as the ocean has been absorbing most of the excess heat resulting from greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. [1] The graph shows OHC calculated to a water depth of 700 and to 2000 meters. Ocean heat content (OHC) or ocean heat uptake (OHU) is the energy absorbed and stored ...
English: Chart showing change in land and ocean surface temperatures, shading indicating growing disparity to show how most excess heat from global warming is absorbed *through* the ocean's surface, leaving the ocean's surface cooler than land
Ocean heat content (OHC) or ocean heat uptake (OHU) is the energy absorbed and stored by oceans. To calculate the ocean heat content, it is necessary to measure ocean temperature at many different locations and depths. Integrating the areal density of a change in enthalpic energy over an ocean basin or entire ocean gives the total ocean heat ...
English: Chart with data from NASA showing how land and sea surface air temperatures have changed up through 2022 relative to the 1951-1980 average. The ocean is absorbing over 90% of excess heat trapped in the atmosphere, greatly limiting global temperature change but contributing to sea level rise, coral bleaching, and other adverse effects.
A staggering 77% of the world’s coral reef areas — from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Indian oceans — have so far been subjected to bleaching-level heat stress, according to satellite ...

Global ocean temperatures have reached a record high, prompting warnings of serious consequences for the Earth’s climate. Reaching an average of 20.96C, according to the EU’s climate change ...
Record-high ocean temperatures are setting the stage for an active Atlantic hurricane season with explosive tropical development, but just one thing is missing: storms. There have been no tropical ...
