In 2022, the global change in ocean heat content reached 196.9 zettajoules (or 19.7x10²² joules) for the upper 700 meters layer, breaking the heat record from the year prior. Ocean heat content (OHC) is the heat absorbed and stored by oceans. The OHC is essential for modelling global climate since most of the excess heat in the planet is absorbed by the ocean.
