Heating the ocean

7. Heating the ocean
1.35 billion cu.kilometers is the volume of the ocean (wikipedia)
1 billion metric tones is the weight of 1 cu.kilometer
Weight of the ocean is:
[1.35 x 1000**3] cu.km x [1000**3] m.tons
is [1.35 x 1000**6] metric tons, 1.35 quintillion metric tons
heating the ocean 1C
specific heat of water is 1 calorie per gram C
1000 calories (kilocalorie) per kilogram C
1000 kilocaloriws per metric ton (1000 kilograms)
[1.35 x 1000**6] metric tons x 1000 kilocalories/m.ton
[1.35 x 1000**7] kilocalories / degree C
Each hour the earth receives 430 quintillion joules from the sun
1 joule =.239 calorie
multiplying is 102 quintillion calories, about 100 quadrillion kilocalories (per hour)
