\nClimate scientists have decided that as much as half of the heat energy, believed to have built up on Earth in recent years, is hiding somewhere it can not be found. By measuring the radiative energy input at the top of Earth’s atmosphere, scientists have a pretty good idea of how much energy is entering the planetary environment\u2014the problem is figuring out where it goes. The most likely place is in the deep ocean, whose waters form a huge potential storage place for heat. Because energy is exchanged between the atmosphere and the ocean, this heat can resurface at a later time to affect weather and climate on a global scale. It has been suggest that last year\u2019s rapidly occurring El Ni\u00f1o may be one way the \u201cmissing\u201d solar energy has reappeared\u2014the implication being more sudden El Ni\u00f1o events may be on the way.<\/p>\n

Oceans contain around 80% of the climate system’s total energy, so ocean heat is a good measure of what is happening with Earth’s climate. According to a Perspectives article in the April 16, 2010, issue of Science, \u201cTracking Earth’s Energy<\/a>,\u201d science has been unable to to properly track energy within Earth’s environmental system. Kevin E. Trenberth and John T. Fasullo , both scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), warn in the new study that satellite sensors, ocean floats, and other instruments are inadequate to track this \u201cmissing\u201d heat. They fear that it may be building up in the deep oceans or elsewhere in the climate system. \u201cThe heat will come back to haunt us sooner or later,\u201d says Trenberth, the lead author. \u201cThe reprieve we\u2019ve had from warming temperatures in the last few years will not continue. It is critical to track the build-up of energy in our climate system so we can understand what is happening and predict our future climate.\u201d<\/p>\n

As noted on the NCAR site<\/a>, a Science Perspectives piece is not formally peer-reviewed, but is reviewed by editors of the journal. Science reportedly invited Trenberth to submit the article after an editor heard him discuss the research at a scientific conference. Trenberth and his co-author, Fasullo, focused on what they call a central mystery of climate change. Why, since 2003, have scientists been unable to determine where much heat energy Earth receives from the Sun is going. According to the NCAR site:<\/p>\n
