Connecting Direct Effects of CO2 Radiative Forcing to Ocean Heat Uptake and Circulation

Abstract The ocean's response to direct atmospheric effects of increased carbon dioxide's (CO2) radiative forcing is examined. These direct effects are defined as the climate changes that result from forcing on a fast time scale of about a year, independent of the slower surface warming th...
