During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the Earth’s surface warmed more slowly than climate models simulated¹. This surface-warming hiatus is attributed by some studies to model errors in external forcing^{2, 3, 4}, while others point to heat rearrangements in the ocean^{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} caused by internal variability, the timing of which cannot be predicted by the models¹. However, observational analyses disagree about which ocean region is responsible^{11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16}
