Atlantic Ocean gobbled Earth's missing heat: Study

Indo-Asian News Service: Presenting a new theory about where the Earth's missing heat finally disappeared, a new research says a natural climate cycle in the north Atlantic Ocean may have gobbled the Earth's extra heat. "It is important to distinguish between whether ocean heat storage is responsible for the hiatus versus not enough heat reaching the surface of the Earth," said atmospheric scientist Ka-Kit Tung from the University of Washington in Seattle. The study found enough heat stored in the north and south Atlantic...

Global warming: Heat trapped by greenhouse gases going deep into the Atlantic Ocean
2014-08-22 20:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Ancient currents that circulate the sun`s energy deep into the Atlantic Ocean may be swallowing up some of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases. In the past decade, the current has intensified, drawing surface heat as deep as mile beneath the surface of the sea, scientists said after analyzing data from a network of ocean buoys. The new findings may help explain why the pace of warming has slowed, and suggest that, when the current reverts to weaker phase, surface temperatures could spike upward...
Global Warming Pause Rooted Deep in Atlantic Ocean

Nature World: Many theories have been suggested to explain why the Earth is currently in a global warming hiatus, from volcanoes to air pollution to sunspots. But new research indicates that this missing heat is trapped deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists from the University of Washington (UW) say that heat from the surface is plunging nearly a mile down in the north and south Atlantic, affecting the balance between incoming heat and heat radiated back into the atmosphere. Despite the fact that greenhouse...

Global warming 'hiatus' means heat is hiding in ocean
2014-08-22 00:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: An apparent slowdown in the Earth's surface warming in the last 15 years could be due to that heat being trapped in the deep Atlantic and Southern Ocean, researchers said Thursday. The findings in the journal Science suggest that such cycles tend to last 20-35 years, and that global warming will likely pick up again once that heat returns to surface waters. "Every week there's a new explanation of the hiatus," said co-author Ka-Kit Tung, a University of Washington professor of applied mathematics...
Has the Atlantic Ocean Stalled Global Warming?

National Geographic: Temperatures at Earth's surface aren't rising as fast as they did in the 1990s, even though the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continues to increase steadily. This apparent hiatus in global warming has been fodder for skeptics-but among climate scientists, it has sparked a search for the "sink" that is storing all the missing atmospheric heat. Locating that sink matters, because it could tell researchers how long our current hiatus might last, says Ka-Kit Tung, an atmospheric...
