Earth's energy imbalance since 1960 in observations and CMIP5 models

Abstract

Observed maximum in ocean heat content trend in early 2000s is likely spuriousNet incoming radiation (<i>N</i>) reduced by 0.31 ± 0.21 W m^-2 during the warming pausePresent-day estimates of <i>N</i> may contain opposing errors in radiative components.
