In Search Of Ocean Heat - 19

Fig. 1 GIStemp v4 Surface Anomaly

This series concerns what some scientists describe as a very difficult-to-understand concept.

That concept they consider difficult to understand is "ocean heat" (In Search Of Ocean Heat - 18).

The blue line in Fig. 1 is a graph of ocean surface anomaly values over many years.

There seems to be no difficulty in contemplating "ocean heat" at the ocean's surface in terms of changes in heat.

The confusion arises when they contemplate where that heat goes, how it gets there,  and what ocean heat is made of (The Photon Current, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

The previous post in this series, in combo graphs, detailed both the measured temperatures of ocean depths with a blue line, (ocean heat patterns as they are with a Second Law of Thermodynamics), then adjusted those values to create an imaginary GISTEMP modified value shown by a red line (ocean heat patterns if there was no Second Law of Thermodynamics).

Those lines were provided for Conservative Temperature, Entropy, Potential Enthalpy, and photon quantities for five ocean depths (Epipelagic, Mesopelagic, Bathypelagic, Abyssopelagic, and Hadopelagic.

Not only that, several ocean areas were graphed.

Today, the same oceans are detailed however there is only one graph line for each one of three depths in those oceans, and no GISTEMP modifications are graphed (Today's Appendix Link).

I wanted readers to see ocean heat just as it is, not what it would be if there was no Second Law of Thermodynamics.

There is a Second Law of Thermodynamics and the  graphs in today's appendix show the patterns of ocean heat in Conservative Temperature, Entropy, Potential Enthalpy, and photon quantities patterns.

Enjoy the simplicity.
