Now it is becoming apparent why there seems to have been a slowing of the rate of temperature change over the last decade.

Ice-Shelf Melting Around Antarctica

1 E. Rignot, 2 S. Jacobs, 3 J. Mouginot, and 4 B. Scheuchl

We compare the volume flux divergence of Antarctic ice shelves in 2007 and 2008 with 1979 to 2010 surface accumulation and 2003 to 2008 thinning to determine their rates of melting and mass balance. Basal melt of 1325 ± 235 gigatons per year (Gt/year) exceeds a calving flux of 1089 ± 139 Gt/year, making ice-shelf melting the largest ablation process in Antarctica. The giant cold-cavity Ross, Filchner, and Ronne ice shelves covering two-thirds of the total ice-shelf area account for only 15% of net melting. Half of the meltwater comes from 10 small, warm-cavity Southeast Pacific ice shelves occupying 8% of the area. A similar high melt/area ratio is found for six East Antarctic ice shelves, implying undocumented strong ocean thermal forcing on their deep grounding lines.

Heating the Deep Ocean

1. Julia Fahrenkamp-Uppenbrink

As greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere increase, the resulting heat warms not only the atmosphere but also the oceans. However, temperature increases at the sea surface and in the upper ∼700 m of the oceans stalled in the 2000s. Recent modeling and observational studies have suggested that the deep ocean has taken up the heat, particularly at depths between 700 and 2000 m. However, regular, spatially homogenous ocean temperature data are only available since 2003 from the Argo ocean observing system, complicating comparison with earlier data sets. Balmaseda et al. used a new observation-based reanalysis of the ocean to investigate how the heat content has changed over the period from 1958 to 2009. They provide evidence for an overall warming trend, punctuated by cooling episodes that can be attributed to volcanic eruptions. The massive 1997–1998 El Niño event also had a noticeable cooling impact. In the past decade, the deep ocean has continued to warm, whereas temperatures in the upper 300 m have stabilized; the ocean as a whole has continued to warm at an increasing rate. The qualitative warming patterns persisted when Argo data were removed. The authors attribute the changing heat distribution to changes in surface winds, particularly an intensification of the trade winds in subtropical gyres.

But it’s all just a big hoax right?

A couple of years ago I posted the link to a guy that traveled the nation documenting how the HOAXERS were moving instruments, or not moving them when conditions changed and they should have been moved, to get the results they wanted!!!!!

Naturally the HOAXEES flat ignored this like they refuse to recognize crystal clear evidence when it exposes the HOAXERS shenanigans!!!!!

That's what happens when HOAXERS manipulate instrument locations, record highs even though there has been ZERO warming in at LEAST 15 years! No doubt the hoaxees missed that tidbit of onfo?????
The gibberish posted by HOAXERS whose income will cease if they don't toe the government line is insulting!!!!!
