Here are the latest ocean heat content numbers from NOAA, through 1Q2026. Eyeballing, it looks clear that OHC is accelerating for both regions.
0-700 m region: linear slope = 0.22 W/m2 = 0.035°C/decade
acceleration = 0.0089 (W/m2)/yr = 8.9 (mW/m2)/yr
where "mW" is milliwatts.
0-2000 m region: linear slope = 0.68 W/m2 = 0.037°C/decade
acceleration = 0.0079 (W/m2)/yr = 7.9 (mW/m2)/yr
The R2 numbers are all high, > 0.90.
All this bother over milliwatts! :-)
PS: corrections welcome, especially on the unit conversions.
