So here we have the ocean warming to 10m and more with SW and cooling with IR from the surface and with convection and latent heat. Because the warming is all radiative – it is all very nearly instantaneous. The heat is right there in the ocean. There is turbulent mixing – both at the surface and from the bottom and convection in the ocean. These are pretty quick processes as well. The atmosphere is warmed by the ocean – the physical mechanism is by IR emission from the surface.
This is the reverse of what you said – and insisted on so graciously. I just like to see you get trapped into one reinvention after another. Most amusing.
