GCOS_EHI_EXP_v2
‘Heat stored in the Earth system: Where does the energy go?’ contains a consistent long-term Earth system heat inventory over the period 1960-2018. Human-induced atmospheric composition changes cause a radiative imbalance at the top-of-atmosphere which is driving global warming. This Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) is the most critical number defining the prospects for continued global warming and climate change. Understanding the heat gain of the Earth system from this accumulated heat – and particularly how much and where the heat is distributed in the Earth system - is fundamental to understanding how this affects warming oceans, atmosphere and land, rising temperatures and sea level, and loss of grounded and floating ice, which are fundamental concerns for society. This dataset is based on a study under the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) concerted international effort to update the Earth heat inventory, and presents an updated international assessment of ocean warming estimates, and new and updated estimates of heat gain in the atmosphere, cryosphere and land over the period 1960-2018.
Changes in version 2:
a) uncertainties have been added and updated in the netcdf file
b) Ocean heat content > 2000m depth: update of one time series, and thus revised ensemble mean
c) Atmospheric heat content: update of the time series as received by experts on the 29/05/2020
d) Available heat cyropshere: update of the time series as received by experts on the 27/05/2020.
e) some attributes have been added for more details.
