Main Conclusions:

1. During hiatus decades, most CMIP5 models exhibit a significant decrease in the SST and upper OHC and a significant increase of heat penetrating into the subsurface or deep ocean, opposite to the accelerated warming decades.

2. The air-sea interactions and ocean circulations (STC, AMOC, ITF) play the important roles in in modulating the surface and subsurface temperature
