FIGURE 6.3 Example of time series with confidence intervals. Global ocean heat content (10 22 J) for the 0 to 700m layer, based on Levitus et al. (2005a; black curve), Ishii et al. (2006; full record gray curve and larger error bar), and Willis et al. (2004; darker gray after 1993 and shorter error bar). Shading and error bars denote the 90% confidence interval. Compare with Figure S15.15 seen on the textbookWeb site from Domingues et al. (2008) which uses improved observations. TALLEY Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
