Unabated planetary warming and its ocean structure since 2006
... Increasing heat content of the global ocean dominates the energy imbalance in the climate system1 . Here we show that ocean heat gain over the 0–2,000 m layer continued at a rate of 0.4–0.6 W m−2 during 2006–2013. The depth dependence and spatial structure of temperature changes are described on the ...
