This figure appears in chapter 13 of the Climate Science Special Report: The Fourth National Climate Assessment: Volume I report.

Global Ocean heat content change time series. Ocean heat content from 0 to 700 m (blue), 700 to 2,000 m (red), and 0 to 2,000 m (dark gray) from 1955 to 2015 with an uncertainty interval of ±2 standard deviations shown in shading. All time series of the analysis performed by Cheng et al.db777261-ee2e-4bf6-944e-a8831c595300 are smoothed by a 12-month running mean filter, relative to the 1997–2005 base period.
