Seasonal heat content in the top half-mile of the ocean compared to the 1955-2006 average. Heat content in the global ocean has been above-average (red bars) since the mid-1990s. Graph by NOAA Climate.gov, based on data from NOAA NCEI.
Changes in heat content in the top 2,000 meters (1.2 miles) of the ocean from 1993-2024. More places have gained heat (orange) than lost it (blue). Transparent gray shading means trends are small relative to natural variability. NOAA Climate.gov map, based on data from John Lyman.
Seasonal (3-month) heat energy in the top half-mile of the ocean compared to the 1955-2006 average. Heat content in the global ocean has been consistently above-average (red bars) since the mid-1990s. More than 90 percent of the excess heat trapped in the Earth system due to human-caused global warming has been absorbed by the oceans. NOAA Climate.gov graph, based on data (0-700m) from the NCEI Ocean Heat Content product collection.
Change in stored heat content in the upper 2,000 meters (1.2 miles) of the ocean from 1993-2024. Darkest orange areas show where heat content increased by 6 or more watts per square meter. Some areas have lost heat (blue), but not enough to offset increases everywhere else. Changes in gray shaded areas were not statistically significant, meaning small relative to the range of natural variability. NOAA Climate.gov image, based on data from John Lyman.
