Question:

Compute the time for the oceanic mixed layer (350 Mkm2 × 200 m) to warm by 3.2 K, using 50% of the energy coming from a change in radiative forcing of 3.7 W/m2. Advanced version: assume that radiative forcing is proportional to T − Teq as the surface warm sand describe the time-history of the surface water by writing and solving a differential equation.
