Is the Ocean Really the Memory of the Climate System?
i want to go through a lot of the assumptions that get made about mo s and temperature, and an you really, in painstaking detail, depunk all of these. i'd like to start with the observationaf data. I mean, as a scientist, might touch stones the data. It's pretty hard to measure climate system. The earth is pretty big. We don't have good surface observations everywhere. The ocean absorbs 90 % of the incremental heat. And so observing the ocean is ke and it's very difficult to do that. Only within the last 15 years or so do we start to have good coverage of not only the surface of the ocean, but down to a kilometer or
