Past and future ocean warming
Abstract Changes in ocean heat content (OHC) provide a measure of ocean warming, with
impacts on the Earth system. This Review synthesizes estimates of past and future OHC …

Southern Ocean warming and its climatic impacts
Abstract The Southern Ocean has warmed substantially, and up to early 21st century,
Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion and increasing atmospheric CO 2 have conspired to …

Future global climate: scenario-based projections and near-term information
This chapter assesses simulations of future global climate change, spanning time horizons
from the near term (2021–2040), mid-term (2041–2060), and long term (2081–2100) out to …

Surface warming–induced global acceleration of upper ocean currents
How the ocean circulation changes in a warming climate is an important but poorly
understood problem. Using a global ocean model, we decompose the problem into distinct …

Ocean warming and accelerating Southern Ocean zonal flow
Abstract The Southern Ocean (> 30° S) has taken up a large amount of anthropogenic heat
north of the Subantarctic Front (SAF) of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Poor …

Emergent climate change patterns originating from deep ocean warming in climate mitigation scenarios
The global oceans absorb most of the surplus heat from anthropogenic warming, but it is
unclear how this heat accumulation will affect the Earth's climate under climate mitigation …

Ventilation of the Southern Ocean pycnocline
Ocean ventilation is the transfer of tracers and young water from the surface down into the
ocean interior. The tracers that can be transported to depth include anthropogenic heat and …

Stratospheric ozone depletion and tropospheric ozone increases drive Southern Ocean interior warming
Atmospheric ozone has undergone distinct changes in the stratosphere and troposphere
during the second half of the twentieth century, with depletion in the stratosphere and an …

Ocean heat uptake and interbasin redistribution driven by anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases
Anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases have played important roles in modulating
the storage and distribution of heat in oceans since the industrial age. Here we isolate and …

Drivers and distribution of global ocean heat uptake over the last half century
Since the 1970s, the ocean has absorbed almost all of the additional energy in the Earth
system due to greenhouse warming. However, sparse observations limit our knowledge of …
