Ocean heat hits record high:  UN.  (Phys Org, 3/28/2019)

"2018 saw new records for ocean heat content in the upper 700 metres," a WMO statement said. 

The agency said the UN had data for heat content in the upper 700 metres (2,290 feet) of the ocean dating back to 1955. 

Last year also saw new heat records for the ocean's upper 2,000 metres, but data for that range only goes back to 2005. 

The previous records for both ranges were set in 2017.
