The authors agreed, and within three weeks the paper received the following update:
"We would like to alert readers that the authors have informed us of errors in the paper. 
An implication of the errors is that the uncertainties in ocean heat content are substantially underestimated. 
We are working with the authors to establish the quantitative impact of the errors on the published results, at which point in time we will provide a further update..."
