Towards quantifying uncertainty in ocean heat content changes using synthetic profiles

Towards quantifying uncertainty in ocean heat content changes using synthetic profiles

Observational estimates of global ocean heat content (OHC) change are used to assess Earth’s energy imbalance over the 20th Century. However, intercomparison studies show that the mapping methods used to interpolate sparse ocean temperature profile data are a key source of uncertainty. We present a...
