Abyssal Argo Deep-Ocean Warming (Proponent Substrate)
mechanism
Deep-ocean sensors show the sea floor warming first, and some claim it's proof the Earth's core is leaking heat.
Who they are
This refers to readings from Abyssal Argo floats, deep-ocean sensors, used as evidence by proponents of a theory called ECDO.
What they do
The floats detect warming at the very bottom of the ocean before the surface warms.
How it works
Proponents claim this proves heat is venting from a slipping outer core; the warming measurement itself is documented, but the core-venting explanation is unsupported.
Why it matters
It matters as a real data point that gets stretched into an unproven claim, one of the pieces of evidence the ECDO theory is built on.
The engine's record — word for word
Abyssal Argo floats register localized bottom-of-ocean warming before surface warming. Proponents cite this as proof of exothermic core venting from a slipping outer core; the anomaly is documented but the core-venting attribution is unsupported. One of the empirical kernels ECDO builds on. [TIER FORUM/PEER-REVIEW mixed] [Report #103 (ECDO)]
