ae On the left column are OHCs and fj on the right column are OHCTs. The integration is from the ocean surface to different depths (0–300 m, 0–700 m, 0–2000 m and full depth). The net ocean surface heat flux (FS) from DEEPC is also plotted in the right column for comparison, and its correlation coefficients with OHCT are listed in Table 1. All lines are 12-month running mean and the OHCT time series for GLORYS and FOAM are scaled for clarity by a factor of 0.25 and 0.125.
