Ocean heat content changes since 1955 (annual estimates for the first 2,000 meters of ocean depth, the shaded blue region indicates the 95% margin of uncertainty.)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Data source: Observations from various ocean measurement devices, including conductivity-temperature-depth instruments (CTDs), Argo profiling floats, and eXpendable BathyThermographs (XBTs). Credit: NOAA/NCEI World Ocean Database

Ninety percent of global warming is occurring in the ocean, causing the water’s internal heat to increase since modern recordkeeping began in 1955, as shown in the upper chart. (The shaded blue region indicates the 95% margin of uncertainty.) This chart shows annual estimates for the first 2,000 meters of ocean depth.

Each data point in the upper chart represents a five-year average. For example, the 2018 value represents the average change in ocean heat content (since 1955) for the years 2016 to and including 2021.
