Global Fingerprints of Greenhouse Warming

The data show that the oceans have been warming from the surface downward and that heat penetration with depth varies from ocean to ocean, providing a fingerprint that drivers in a model must match. Modeling of internal variability alone did not produce temperature profiles that matched this fingerp ...
