DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073578
Abstract: A surface cooling pattern in the equatorial Pacific associated with a negative phase of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation is the leading hypothesis to explain the smaller rate of global warming during 1998-2014, with these cooler… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-56490-z
Abstract: The ocean is the main source of thermal inertia in the climate system. Ocean heat uptake during recent decades has been quantified using ocean temperature measurements. However, these estimates all use the same imperfect ocean… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab97c9
Abstract: The surface warming response to carbon emissions is diagnosed using a suite of Earth system models, 9 CMIP6 and 7 CMIP5, following an annual 1\% rise in atmospheric CO$_2$ over 140 years. This surface warming… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-17-0761.1
Abstract: Abstract Climate models show that most of the anthropogenic heat resulting from increased atmospheric CO2 enters the Southern Ocean near 60°S and is stored around 45°S. This heat is transported to ... read more here.
