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: 10.1002/2017jc012845
Abstract: The subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) is subject to strong decadal variability, with implications for surface climate and its predictability. In 2004–2005, SPNA decadal upper ocean and sea-surface temperature trends reversed from warming during 1994–2004 to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085160
Abstract: The ocean transports vast amounts of heat around the planet, helping to regulate regional climate. One important component of this heat transport is the movement of warm water from equatorial regions toward the poles, with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085905
Abstract: We present an alternative method of calculating the historical effective radiative forcing using the observed temperature record and a kernel based on the 5th Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) temperature response. This estimate is the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-017-0022-8
Abstract: The subduction and export of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) supplies the upper limb of the overturning circulation and makes an important contribution to global heat, freshwater, carbon and nutrient budgets1–5. Upper ocean heat content has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-018-0387-3
Abstract: Model projections of the near-future response to anthropogenic warming show compensation between meridional heat transports by the atmosphere (AHT) and ocean (OHT) that are largely symmetric about the equator1–3, the causes of which remain unclear.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14158-6
Abstract: The Subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) is one of the most important areas to global climate because its ocean heat content (OHC) is highly correlated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and its circulation strength… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-44397-8
Abstract: Ocean tides generate electromagnetic (EM) signals that are emitted into space and can be recorded with low-Earth-orbiting satellites. Observations of oceanic EM signals contain aggregated information about global transports of water, heat, and salinity. We… 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: 10.1073/pnas.1808838115
Abstract: Significance Since the 19th century, rising greenhouse gas concentrations have caused the ocean to absorb most of the Earth’s excess heat and warm up. Before the 1990s, most ocean temperature measurements were above 700 m… read more here.
