  2. Key objectives - to determine the degree of consistency among the analyses and identify key differences - to compare the analyses to conventional ocean heat content change estimates that use statistical infilling methods Definition of depth-integrated temperature: The depth-integrated potential temperature, <θ>, over some layer H, from the surface to a fixed depth, is defined as: <θ> = ∫ θ (x,y,z,t) dz Please note that the layer integral should be inclusive of all model levels shallower than H. This will ensure that layer ocean heat content can be added/subtracted conservatively. To compliment the steric height analysis, the following 2-D fields for depth-integrated potential temperature are requested: • 0 to 100 m of depth; • 0 to 300 m of depth; • 0 to 700 m of depth: • 0 to 1500 m of depth; • 0 to 3000 m of depth; • 0 to 4000 m of depth • 0 to full depth Assumptions: Reference Density = 1025 kg m-3 Specific Heat = 3985.0 J kg-1 K-1

  12. Summary so far.. Analyses show good consistency for the 0-100m layer. This is a useful check and re-assures me that there are no gross errors For deeper layers the analyses being to diverge. Some products appear to show a large ocean heat content gain (ARMOR3D, ECDA, MOVEC, MOVEG2) – is this model “spin-up”? Are we seeing a range of responses to volcanic eruptions in the subset that span the historical eruptions? “To do” and open questions.. Not all groups who have submitted data are present. I will work with data providers to resolve this a.s.a.p. Investigate the spatial trends and differences among the analyses Amplitude of the seasonal cycle – spatial maps Further comparison with model-free analyses - GSOP is well placed to do this Consideration of the depth structure of ocean heat uptake (c.f. Magdalena's presentation)
