It turns out that oceans are much less regular and predictable than we, in our landlubbering ignorance, had presumed.
Seawater has a higher specific heat (about 0.95) than land (0.5 on average), so that changes in the temperature of the oceans are much slower than on land.
Still, "A Sense of the World" gives us a man who embraced wanderlust at a time when the continents and oceans were much, much bigger.
So although the atmospheric warming they cause may taper off comparatively quickly after their emissions are halted, their effects in the oceans are much longer-lived.

The ocean is much wilder back East".
"The ocean is much more transient, and it changes constantly.
Counting fishes in the ocean is much more difficult.
If you talk to scientists about the issue casually, they tend to believe that the density of plastic in the ocean is much higher than their data suggests and that much more research is needed to accurately portray how much plastic is in the ocean, if that's even possible.
First, tsunami amplitudes in the open ocean are much smaller than ocean depths ((|eta | / H ll 1)), but in these experiments (|eta |/H approx 0.1 - 0.7).
