Deep Oceans May Mask Global Warming for Years at a Time

Earth's deep oceans may absorb enough heat at times to flatten the rate of 
global warming for periods of as long as a decade--even in the midst of 
longer-term warming. This according to a new analysis led by scientists at the 
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

The study, based on computer simulations of global climate, points to ocean 
layers deeper than 1,000 feet as the main location of the "missing heat" during 
periods such as the past decade when global air ...
