Higher sea surface temperatures disrupt the mixing of nutrients and oxygen that is key to supporting life. They have the potential to alter the ocean’s crucial role in absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.
Researchers at CalTech have created a new research tool that could do a better job of measuring temperature changes in the world’s oceans.
When Hurricane Ophelia slammed into Ireland, it was the most powerful storm ever recorded in the eastern Atlantic. Is the pattern of Atlantic storm activity changing with increasing ocean temperatures?
A new study looks at ocean temperatures from three different sources and finds they all agree. The seas are getting warmer and faster than anyone realized.
