It seems to me that anthropogenic factors that could cause increasing global temperatures, should mostly cause an increase in temperatures in the Temperate and Arctic zones, and not have as much affect in the tropical zone [between Cancer and Capricorn].
And in addition most of this warming should occur in land regions rather than ocean regions- due the fact that land regions have a larger diurnal temperature difference.

Also one has most land forms in northern Hemisphere and obviously most of the oceans [and volume of the oceans] in Southern Hemisphere.

In the ocean regions of northern hemisphere in the Temperate and Arctic regions where one will expect to get most the increases in ocean temperatures, the oceans should warm in a similar way that warmer tropical oceans are presently- mostly warmer surface temperatures.
