TLDR
A revised analysis of measured changes in the net radiation imbalance at the top of the atmosphere, and the ocean heat content to a depth of 1,800m, suggests that these two sets of observations are consistent within error margins as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Global climate change results from a small yet persistent imbalance between the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth and the thermal radiation emitted back to space. A revised analysis of measured changes in the net radiation imbalance at the top of the atmosphere, and the ocean heat content to a depth of 1,800 m, suggests that these two sets of observations are consistent within error margins.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the causes of observed changes assessed in Chapters 2 to 5 and uses understanding of physical processes, climate models and statistical approaches are used to assess the extent to which atmospheric and oceanic changes influence ecosystems, infrastructure, human health and activities in economic sectors.

An update on Earth's energy balance in light of the latest global observations
Graeme L. Stephens,Jui-Lin Li,Martin Wild,Carol Anne Clayson,Norman G. Loeb,Seiji Kato,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Paul W. Stackhouse,Matthew Lebsock,Timothy Andrews +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of the latest observations suggests that more longwave radiation is received at the Earth's surface than previously thought, and that more precipitation is generated, and the additional precipitation is sustained by more energy leaving the surface by evaporation, that is, in the form of latent heat flux.

Distinctive climate signals in reanalysis of global ocean heat content
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the time evolution of the global ocean heat content for 1958 through 2009 from a new observation-based reanalysis of the ocean, identifying Volcanic eruptions and El Nino events as sharp cooling events punctuating a long-term ocean warming trend, while heating continues during the recent upper ocean warming hiatus.
