<div class="glossary-definition">'''Definition:''' This is a measure (W m –2 °C –1) of the rate at which heat storage by the global ocean increases as global surface temperature rises. It is a useful parameter for climate change simulations in which the radiative forcing is changing monotonically, when it can be compared with the c limate feedback parameter to gauge the relative importance of radiative response and ocean heat uptake in determining the rate of climate change. It can be estimated from such an experiment as the ratio of the rate of increase of ocean heat content to the surface temperature change.</div>
