| Abstract: |
We will examine the effects of natural variability and external forcing factors on ocean heat content and thermal expansion. Our emphasis will be on basin and larger scales, and will include analysis of the transient penetration of surface temperature anomalies into the deeper ocean. We will make use of observational data where available. Some of our work may include a
formal detection analysis. |
