Penetration of Human-Induced Warming into the World's Oceans
- States a warming signal has penetrated into the world's oceans over the past 40 years
- States that the warming signal is complex, with a vertical structure that varies widely by ocean; it cannot be explained by natural internal climate variability or solar and volcanic forcing, but is well simulated by two anthropogenically forced climate models
- Concludes that it is of human origin, a conclusion robust to observational sampling and model differences
- Finds that changes in advection combine with surface forcing to give the overall warming pattern
- Concludes that the study suggests society needs to seriously consider model predictions of future climate change
