For starters-

" Lyman said the cause of the recent cooling is not yet clear. Research
suggests it may be due to a net loss of heat from the Earth. "Further work
will be necessary to solve this cooling mystery," he said."

Monitoring the heat content of the oceans is vital to understanding how
Earth's energy balance is changing. "The capacity of Earth's oceans to store
the sun's energy is more than 1,000 times that of Earth's atmosphere," Lyman
said. "It's important to measure upper ocean temperature, since 84 percent
of the heat absorbed by Earth since the mid-1950s has gone toward warming
the ocean. *"MEASURING OCEAN TEMPERATURE IS REALLY MEASURING THE PROGRESS OF
GLOBAL WARMING."* The NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory is
currently developing an ocean observing system to better quantify changes in
the ocean to include heat content.
