Upper ocean heat content (0 to 700 m depth) also set a new record high with the latest June data update (see my earlier post). Yikes! 🌊 Graphic/data (anomalies) from www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/globa...

Line graph time series of global ocean heat content for the 0-700 m layer for 3-month averages (red line), yearly averages (black line), and five years averages from the late 1950s to 2025 (blue line). There is a long-term warming trend. Ocean heat content is measured in 10^22 Joules with a y-axis range from nearly -10 to 35.

But this year we didn't have a ton of hurricanes so clearly it's fine 🫠 (/s)

Could you demystify the scale for me?

I'm assuming zero is a normalized value?

Yeah this graphic is incredibly confusing, but I haven't had the time to remake it myself. It's showing anomalies relative to 1955-2006.

And that was before the hot weather in July and August.
