Abstract
Variations in global and regional ocean heat content occur both due to natural variability and external forcing of the climate system. While regional patterns can be dominated by natural variations on decadal timescales, globally integrated ocean heat content responds primarily to external forcings such as anthropogenic global warming and major volcanic eruptions. The spatial patterns of future ocean heat content change and sea level rise (associatedwith ocean thermal expansion) depend both on changes in air-sea heat fluxes and systematic changes in ocean circulation.
