A roadmap for Antarctic and Southern Ocean science for the next two decades and beyond (2014, background): “For example, the region south of 40°S is responsible for c. 40% of the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2 (Khatiwala et al. 2013) and has been responsible for more than 50% of the increase in ocean heat content over the past 50 years (Levitus et al. 2012).”
Young People's Burden: Requirement of Negative CO2 Emissions (2016, neutral): “Most of the ocean’s heat content change occurs in the upper 2000 m (Levitus et al., 2012), which has been well measured since 2005, when the distribution of Argo ﬂoats achieved good global coverage (von Schuck-mann and Le Traon, 2011) .”
Evaluation of the GECCO2 ocean synthesis: transports of volume, heat and freshwater in the Atlantic (2015, background): “By contrast, Levitus et al. (2012) estimated that about 30% of the warming has occurred below 700 m. Compared with temperature data, a much lower amount of salinity data is assimilated.”
Contribution of Antarctica to past and future sea-level rise (2016, positive): “As with the World Ocean Atlas, water temperatures at 400-m depth (between ocean model z -levels 30 and 31) are used in the parameterization of oceanic sub-ice melt (oceanic melt rate) described above.”
Ocean heat uptake and its consequences for the magnitude of sea level rise and climate change (2012, background): “This is consistent with the observational estimates for 0 m to 2000 m, 1955 – 2010 [ Levitus et al. , 2012], from which we infer (cid:1) = 0.12 (cid:6) 0.01 m YJ (cid:1) 1 .”
Evaluation of the CMCC eddy‐permitting global ocean physical reanalysis system (C‐GLORS, 1982–2012) and its assimilation components (2016, methodology): “We have validated the trends by comparing the interannual trends of heat and salinity content in the top 700 m with independent estimates, taken from the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC, Levitus et al., 2012).”
