The April-June 2014 numbers are up for Ocean Heat Content: 0-700 meter and 0-2000 meters.
Compared to a year ago, the 0-700 m region has gained 8.6 zettajoules, and the 0-2000 m region has gained 23 ZJ.
In more comfortable units, those are 0.53 W/m2, and 1.43 W/m2.
Compared to the averages of the last 8.5 years (because that's one year after the 0-2000 m data begins), these are 160% and 210% higher, respectively.
NOAA's graphs aren't updated yet, so here's my plot:
Someday I will do this right and turn these into anomalies.
